A competitive listing not only has great curb appeal but also winning interiors. This year, buyers want multi-functional, breathable spaces with warmer colors and intricate patterns that highlight the outdoors or tickle their nostalgia.
Do you think your house is ready to win over buyers? Check out these in-demand luxury home trends for 2021 to find out.
Rustic elegance
Inspired by mountain living, this trend highlights wood and stone in their natural shape and texture. Think of natural-edge wood and rough-hewn stones paired with metal decor and furniture.
Healthier homes
This design focuses on spaces that incorporate greenery, air, and sunlight for physical and emotional wellness. Healthier homes have floor-to-ceiling windows for energy efficiency and better ventilation. These homes are also made up of natural materials that have no volatile organic compounds. Certain construction products that emit irritating gases (e.g., paints and wood preservatives) which can trigger allergies or cause headaches and nasal irritations are also avoided.
Industrial meets natural
Light-colored wood like teak, walnut, and birch soften the harsh cold lines of industrial interiors. This trend’s focus is still on nature, with spaces highlighting a view of the outdoors instead of statement furniture.
Bold colors
Gray is out. Today’s houses use colors like olive, teal, black, and navy to influence the rest of a space’s color palette. Imagine bold, bright walls mixed with soft, luxurious furniture that add a sense of comfort and joy to your home.
Bold panels
Some people have opted out of plain walls and chosen intricate wooden panels with diamond or honeycomb designs. These act as a room’s accent pieces.
Designated workspaces
While the open plan for kitchens, dining, and living areas is here to stay, some homes have added separate spaces that allow people to focus on their tasks or hobbies. Spaces meant for serious cooking and cleaning may be separated from the workspace with a wall or divider. There are even houses with multi-functional spaces that act as home offices or video conferencing rooms with good lighting and a well-designed sound system.
Cottagecore
Some homeowners have opted for designs that remind them of a slower life in the countryside. This nostalgic aesthetic makes use of images from nature with floral or botanical wallpaper, indoor plants, dried flowers, and natural materials. Earth tones add to a home’s coziness.
Grandmillennial
Some millennial homeowners now want homes that remind them of a happy childhood in their grandparents’ homes. Making use of bold prints, treillage walls, pleated furniture, and needlepoint decor, this trend is the opposite of the clean and crisp modern design.
