This coverage came from Forbes picking up our perspective alongside the Houzz annual report. What makes these trends useful is understanding which ones translate directly to the Scottsdale and Phoenix market, and which ones apply differently here because of climate, architecture, and buyer expectations. I work in this market every week and can tell you which trends our clients are actually asking for. — Lauren Lerner

What are the top home renovation trends in Scottsdale for 2026?
Based on the Houzz report and what we see on active projects in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, the strongest 2026 trends locally are indoor-outdoor integration, warm material palettes including natural stone and wood, primary bathroom upgrades, and whole-home renovations that address both aesthetics and energy performance.
Are the national Houzz trends relevant in Arizona?
Most are, but they apply with Arizona-specific modifications. Indoor-outdoor living trends map directly to Scottsdale. Minimalist kitchen trends are popular but we tend toward warmer, more textural versions than the colder Nordic minimalism common in northern markets. Anything about natural light needs to account for solar heat gain in our climate.
