Our homes are where we spend most of our time, so it is only natural to want to spruce it up occasionally. If you’re considering making some changes, here are some of the latest trends homeowners have been integrating into their properties, including lighting features, leisure spaces, and design aesthetics.

Design Aesthetics

To enhance the tranquility of your home design consider adjusting raw materials, colors, textures, and furniture layouts to create a more grounding feel. Incorporating materials such as wood, stone, linen, and cotton can enhance various elements in your home, from considering what to use for your kitchen countertops and backsplashes, bar stools, cabinets, flooring, and bed linens to furniture. A unique trend that embraces this feel for a natural aesthetic is "Japandi," a fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian styles characterized by a color palette of whites, beiges, and taupes, which allows other design elements like artwork, wall colors, or featured accents to shine.

Lighting Features

Integrating natural lighting through windows and glass doors is an excellent way to invite sunlight into your living space, offering the flexibility to select frames that suit your preferences. In addition to traditional methods, technological advancements can also be utilized to manipulate lighting within a room, creating a sense of brightness even during darker hours. Lighting is crucial in showcasing artwork and enhancing various house areas, including closets, bathrooms, kitchens, and leisure rooms. From chandeliers and wall lights to floor and table lamps and stair lighting, numerous options are available to combine functionality with design aesthetics. To illuminate each room effectively, consider incorporating different types of lighting, ranging from ambient to feature lights, to complement various styles and provide a warm ambiance throughout the space.

Leisure Spaces

Platforms like TikTok and Pinterest serve as valuable resources for inspiration on transforming an ordinary room into your ideal sanctuary. Forbes Magazine has highlighted several trending ideas, ranging from a library wall with a moving ladder to a cozy reading corner or book nook. Cecily Mendell, an interior designer based in San Francisco and Newport Beach, has observed that common requests for these rooms include dimmable reading lights and automated drapery for sunlight adjustment and privacy you may want to use, too. For music enthusiasts, consider a listening room, a dedicated space for relaxation, often featuring comfortable seating and amenities like pianos and record players.
