Certainly, we all are ending the chapter of 2020, with lots of unfortunate and bad memories. Many of us have never felt so sad for a new beginning and a new year. The year 2020 has brought incredible changes in the daily operations of the world. Offices closed, commuting ended, and we tried to do everything from school and training to therapy and vacations in our homes. And since it’s not like we’re leaving home anytime soon, it makes perfect sense that the first place to start over is at home. Plus, home decorating and renovation projects are a pretty good distraction from the ever-present fear. If you’re also looking to do a design review, you’re probably looking for inspiration as well, and for that inspiration, you are just at the right place. what they expect the biggest trends in the home to be in 2021.
The Wide Open Floor Plan
It’s strange to rethink our obsession with open floor plans. They are not quite out of fashion yet, at least not for now, but people are increasingly interested in closing these large spaces. The pandemic of Covid-19 has completely shaped home design trends for the year 2020 and 2021. Not only are people wanting to create a comfortable shared living space, but they are also creating spaces for themselves. The trend is about to create different living spaces in the open floor plan so that people have pockets or corners at home for online learning, Zoom calls, chat, rest, socialize, exercise, etc.
Renovation Of Living And Workspaces
With more and more workers in remote positions in a post-COVID world, it is believed that we will see an even more prominent increase in demand for renovation of living and workspaces, whether it is transforming rooms and additional spaces into offices or adding office structures in the homes specifically designed to clear the ground. Importance will be placed on creating functional spaces that can be duplicated in both cases, such as built-in furniture that can be hidden or used for work and storage or improving sound insulation in walls and rooms.
More Functional Outdoor
The outdoor trend is growing in 2021 and more renovations that include indoor and outdoor living. It’s great to be able to walk outside your home and still be able to get together as a family or just work remotely in your backyard while following the SOPs for Covid. Creating a space to bring nature and the outdoors into your home without going out is key. You will see more outdoor living and entertainment spaces, as well as more fully functional backyards this year.
Improved Heating And Cooling Systems
Underfloor heating is just one of the ways to improve your HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system. You can also do larger scale renovations for heating and cooling purposes. If your HVAC system is a little out of date, consider updating it. Many low-carbon heating systems are affordable and efficient. E.g, geothermal and air source water heaters are environmentally friendly, and you may also be eligible for an incentive through the Green Home grant to cover part of the costs. All you have to do is to buy the heating and cooling systems, call a professional electrician and plumber for the installation, that is it. With a geothermal heat pump, you can reduce your electricity bill by up to sixty-five percent per annum.
Spacious outdoor living
Creating a spacious outdoor living space that is an extension of your interior will become more familiar with home renovations in 2021, and not just in warmer climates. Design in such a way that there is a natural draw between inside and outside with features such as large folding or sliding glass doors, pop-up screens on the porch to help with mosquitoes, outdoor heat lamps, and outdoor fireplaces that create warmth, and also some comfortable sofas will extend your relaxation.
In House Playground
When we speak of getting close to nature, the pandemic has taken our cabin fever to new heights. Experts say upgraded outdoor spaces will continue to shake in the new year, including detailed custom playgrounds, which are one of the hottest trends anyone can see in real-time. To create the best kid’s club and swings, owners even go beyond store-bought swings and make DIY game sets and inventing new things for their kids to have fun at home.
