The 5 Renovation Trends in Belgium for 2026
The renovation trends shaping 2026
The renovation sector in Belgium is evolving rapidly. Here are the 5 major trends we observe at CULA.
1. Energy renovation
With rising energy prices, insulation and energy efficiency have become priorities:
- External wall insulation
- Replacement of single-glazed windows
- Heat pump installation
2. Sustainable materials
Homeowners increasingly prefer eco-friendly materials:
- VOC-free paints
- FSC-certified wood
- Recycled tiles
- Natural insulation (wood wool, hemp)
3. Open spaces
The trend towards open-plan living continues:
- Open kitchen to the living room
- Removal of non-load-bearing walls
- Glass partitions to divide without enclosing
4. Warm minimalism
Gone is cold white. Welcome warm minimalism:
- Earthy and natural tones
- Light wood and raw materials
- Indirect lighting and cosy atmosphere
5. Integrated home automation
Smart homes are no longer a luxury:
- Intelligent lighting
- Connected thermostat
- Automated shutters
CULA follows these trends
We integrate these trends into each of our projects in Brussels and Dilbeek. Our team continuously trains in new techniques and materials.
