Renovating in 2025 comes with new pricing realities. Rising material costs, demand for skilled labor, and the popularity of smart and sustainable upgrades all affect budgets. For homeowners planning projects this year, understanding the average costs by room and project type is essential.
Kitchen Renovations
The kitchen remains the most expensive room to renovate. In 2025, a mid-range remodel costs between $15,000 and $35,000, while high-end custom kitchens with smart appliances and luxury finishes can exceed $60,000. Cabinetry and countertops make up the largest portion of expenses.
Bathroom Renovations
Bathrooms vary widely in cost. A basic refresh—new tiles, fixtures, and paint—averages $7,000 to $15,000, while spa-inspired bathrooms with walk-in showers, heated floors, and premium materials range from $20,000 to $40,000.
Living Room Updates
Since living rooms often focus on finishes rather than plumbing or appliances, they are more budget-friendly. Most homeowners spend between $5,000 and $15,000 for flooring, lighting, and décor updates. Adding custom built-ins or high-tech systems can push costs closer to $25,000.
Bedroom Renovations
Bedrooms are among the most affordable rooms to update. Simple upgrades like flooring, paint, and lighting cost between $3,000 and $10,000. Luxury features such as walk-in closets, soundproofing, or integrated smart systems can raise costs to $20,000 or more.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Outdoor renovations are surging in popularity. A modest patio update costs $8,000 to $20,000, while fully equipped outdoor kitchens, pools, and fire features can reach $50,000 to $100,000, depending on size and materials.
Whole-Home Renovations
For larger projects, the average full-home renovation in 2025 ranges from $100 to $200 per square foot, with luxury remodels exceeding $300 per square foot.
