5 home design themes trending right now

1. Wellness retreats

As we increasingly seek stress-free environments, an increasingly popular concept is multi-functional wellness.

“Which can include a combination of workout facilities, spa-like bathrooms and, in some cases, even an adjoining kitchen for post-workout refreshments,” says Amanda Pollard, senior editor at home and design platform, Houzz.

Zoe Grey, regional design consultant for outbuildings and extensions at Oakwrights, says: “Many of our clients looking for a pool house or gym opt for a single storey building – a wonderful vaulted ceiling and plenty of glazing creates a light, fresh room.

2. Green interiors

With the trend for green continuing, choosing green colours for home decor helps create a sense of tranquillity and connection to nature.

Ervis Ibra, managing director at Grand Projects says; “Additionally, green is versatile and can complement a variety of styles, from modern to rustic, making it a popular choice for a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing home.”

3. Impressionable thresholds

“When starting a project, we find the entrances to homes are so often overlooked and undervalued,” says Connor Beckmann, architectural designer and director at Beckmann Architecture.

“They are spaces we always encourage to be prioritised, as they give the first and last impression of your home,” Beckmann adds.

To create the optimal entryway, he says to make sure it’s uncluttered and, if possible, maximises any natural light.

4. Leisure spaces

Lindsey Roberts, director at Forrester Roberts Interior Design, says: “Having a dedicated personal space for relaxation is less of a luxury and more a necessity for wellbeing, whether it’s to switch off from work, or have some time away from other family members.

A good sign you’ve got it right is if your shoulders drop as you enter – and you just can’t help but look forward to the time you’ll spend there.

5. Youthful havens

Children’s and teens’ bedrooms and chill-out zones are also getting more consideration in the style stakes.

“It’s more important than ever for children to have a place where they can relax and be themselves, as their individual space reflects their lifestyle – and most importantly their personalities,” says Olivia Boardman, interior designer at My Bespoke Room.
