New Caney Living & Dining Room Remodels – Open & Modern Interiors
Stylish and functional remodels of living and dining spaces in New Caney, TX, featuring open floor plans, statement feature walls, and ceiling redesigns to enhance flow, lighting, and overall aesthetic appeal.
Project Overview
In 2024, Select Remodeling & Construction completed several living and dining room remodels in New Caney, TX, each designed to modernize interior spaces with open layouts, enhanced lighting, and refined architectural details.
These remodels focused on improving spatial flow between living and dining areas while incorporating custom feature walls, statement ceilings, and cohesive finishes that elevate style and livability. The projects delivered bright, modern interiors that feel expansive, functional, and timeless — each uniquely tailored to the client's vision and home layout.
Scope of Work
The living and dining room remodels encompassed comprehensive design changes, structural modifications, and system upgrades to create modern, open living spaces.
Project Scope
Open floor plan creation between living and dining areas; feature wall and ceiling design customization; electrical and lighting system upgrades; trim, moldings, and paint refinishing; smart home integration setup; flooring replacement throughout primary spaces.

Systems
Updated electrical systems for increased capacity and safety; smart lighting controls for dimming, presets, and voice activation; integrated home automation for climate and entertainment systems; high-efficiency LED fixtures to reduce energy consumption.
Materials & Design Features
Hardwood, engineered wood, and LVP flooring; crown molding and architectural millwork; coffered ceilings, feature walls with custom textures and finishes, layered lighting systems, and open-concept flow for enhanced functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Challenges & Solutions
The main challenge was opening up closed layouts while preserving structural integrity and aesthetic balance. To maintain structural integrity while opening floor layouts and redesigning ceilings, non-load-bearing walls were strategically removed or relocated, beams were reinforced where needed, and ceilings were professionally designed to achieve a modern look without compromising safety.
Structural Solutions
Strategic removal of non-load-bearing walls to improve traffic flow; reinforcement with engineered beams for structural safety; redesign of ceilings with coffered, tray, and recessed lighting elements for dimension and depth; smart planning for lighting zones and electrical layouts to enhance usability. For structural remodeling standards, refer to International Code Council (ICC) – Residential Building Codes.
Design & Layout Improvements
Open floor plans connect living and dining areas for family and entertainment use. Feature walls serve as focal points with custom textures, wood paneling, or accent paint. Ceilings redesigned with coffered, tray, or recessed details and crown molding. Lighting systems layered for ambient, task, and accent illumination. Trim and moldings were refreshed to tie together traditional craftsmanship and modern styling. For design inspiration, explore Architectural Digest – Interior Design Trends.
System & Fixture Upgrades
Updated electrical systems for increased capacity and safety; smart lighting controls for dimming, presets, and voice activation; integrated home automation for climate and entertainment systems; high-efficiency LED fixtures to reduce energy consumption.
