Each passing century has left its own legacy in the architectural world. But with any peak of a trend comes its downfall. As time has passed we’ve seen quite a few unique home design, structures, and trends. Such as the Taj Mahal, Hagia Sophia, Leaning tower of Pisa, Lotus Temple, Colosseum, St. Basil’s Cathedral, and Burj Khalifa to name a few. These architectural icons are the representation of the era of its construction. The Taj Mahal represents Islamic architecture in the subcontinent, Hagia Sophia represents Turkey’s glory, St. Basil’s Church represents Christianity symbolism, and Burj Khalifa represents modernity and excellence of Dubai.
Although glorious, these trends are now the past. With emerging technologies and preferences, lets deep dive into 5 modern trends that people are opting for:
Overview
Modern Farmhouse
Before you tell me Farmhouse is finally out of style, hear me out!
Farmhouses have been the rage for a few years. And I agree that old barn style doors are no longer the go to choice but they’ve been simply modernized. People love a good farmhouse feel to their house due to its simplicity and authenticity. The farmhouse trend is here to stay but with a modern twist to it. The old wooden barn doors are now replaced with barn-style glass doors. Furthermore, people love mixing old time décor. With a surge of vintage, people are going for a blend of furniture styles.
Open Kitchens
Unifying guests and family through the open kitchen concept can be a terrific idea. A house may appear larger and cozier with an open kitchen. Furthermore, an open kitchen can make the room feel more roomy. An open concept kitchen can give the impression that a small space is larger. It is the ideal answer for compact kitchens where there is a shortage of storage and counter space.
Concealed Storage
Concealed Storage is trending and for all the right reasons. Who likes their home to appear messy? Certainly not me!
Extra storage is now a necessity and my favorite spot for concealed storage is a bed with storage underneath. If your closet space falls short, you can utilize this in the master bedroom for your clothing. This can be used for both clothing and toys in a child’s room. Saving space instead of installing a second box chest, cabinets, chests, and credenzas. Consider placing these in the kitchen, living room, family room, or dining area (spaces that visitors frequently use). Books, seasonal accessories, games, and other stuff that you don’t want to conflict with the décor of the room can be stored in these options for storage. Adding concealed storage is a unique home design method.
Spa at Home
Home Spas are raging like there’s no tomorrow because people are seeking the salon comfort within their homes. With mani-pedi stations, jacuzzi, and gyms at homes people are trying to create a sanctuary for themselves. Focus on fitness and living a healthy and attainable lifestyle is a core focus of this generation. Hence, activities and amenities to promote these are incorporated in unique home design.
Flexible Living
Incorporating flexibility makes unique home designs. This helps you and future generations to enjoy the house and develop it the way they feel comfortable.
In their lifetime, the typical person will possess 4.5 to 5.5 residences, according to studies. This occurs frequently as homeowners go through different stages of life and discover that their existing area no longer suits their lifestyle. Homeowners aspire to “move-up” to more opulent fixtures and fittings, a bigger space, or a lot than they have in their existing residence. With a flexible home, you can develop the house whenever and however you feel.
