As we ring in the New Year, all of us at Ken Bowling Construction want to wish you and your family a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2026. The past year has been an exciting one for building and remodeling around Table Rock Lake, and we’re looking forward to even more innovation, style, and craftsmanship in the year ahead.

If you’re considering building a new home or starting a remodel in 2026, here are some of the biggest trends you can look forward to:

1. Smarter Homes, Inside and Out
Home automation will continue to grow, from intelligent lighting systems and climate control to app-connected appliances. Many homeowners are adding lake-friendly smart features such as humidity sensors, automated blinds, and outdoor entertainment controls.

2. Eco-Friendly Materials and Green Building Practices
Sustainability remains a top priority. Expect more homes to feature reclaimed wood, energy-efficient windows, solar-ready roofing, and landscaping designed to conserve water while enhancing curb appeal.

3. Multi-Generational Living Spaces
With more families choosing to live and vacation together, designs are shifting toward flexible layouts. Guest suites, bunk rooms, and separate entertainment zones are becoming standard features in new lake homes.

4. Outdoor Living Goes Year-Round
Covered patios, outdoor fireplaces, and all-season sunrooms are expanding how homeowners enjoy their lake properties throughout every season—not just summer.

5. Wellness-Driven Design
Expect to see more spa-inspired bathrooms, home gyms, and quiet retreat spaces designed to promote wellness and relaxation.

At Ken Bowling Construction, we are excited to help clients bring these 2026 trends to life with the highest level of quality and craftsmanship. Whether you’re dreaming of a brand-new lake home or updating your current one, this year is full of possibilities.

From our family to yours, Happy New Year! May 2026 bring you joy, success, and the home of your dreams.
