7 Exciting Home Design Trends That Can Raise Your Property Value

Homeowners who keep themselves up-to-date with trends, such as those among interior design communities and renovation groups, are likely to find their property (or properties) performing better on the housing market. This is because popular trends demonstrate a modern, and therefore maintained, presentation, as well as appealing to current tastes. Certain trends are also demonstrative of more significant changes, helping to essentially futureproof properties.

For this reason, it is recommended that those intending to sell a property keep themselves informed on property trends, engaging with those they enjoy or feel suit their own property. The reward of this interest is better performance on the housing market and, ultimately, better return on investment.

70s Aesthetic Revival

It is often the case that the aesthetics of certain decades suddenly return to popularity with homeowners reviving the visual style of the era through their own living spaces. Now, we are seeing a return to the 1970s, with homes becoming once again plush and glam with the warm tones and fun shapes that came to define the colourful era.

Colourful Ceilings

Alongside the recent trend of maximalism, with colourful palettes taking over homes and washing away the previously preferred preference for visual understatement, more residents are taking to paint their ceilings. This trend has gained significant popularity through social media platforms and sees residents choose a complementary colour or accent that helps their ceilings to pop.

Garden Cabins

Having one’s own cosy cabin, one that sits among a garden space, has become immensely popular. This is partly due to the modern need for private office space at home, with many turning to log cabins for professional purposes. For most, however, the ability to have a cosy nook nestled in a natural environment is too good to pass up.

Spathroom

Self-care and well-being is a massive, international trend, one that has now permeated the interior design industry. The best evidence for this is found in the spa-bathroom, also known as the spathroom, a space dedicated to indulgence and pampering.

Dark Textures

Dark woods and brooding colour schemes are in. Even dark colour schemes, those that dip into brown and black, are being used inside homes to create a rich and even cosy living space. Since such colour schemes can be overwhelming on their own, they are generally elevated with decadent embellishments, such as gold and silver finishes that help balance the visuals with a lighter element.

Statement Walls

Bold wallpapers have made a surprising comeback recently, with many residents seeking to embrace statement designs. Designs, such as those inspired by the work of William Morris or displaying natural landscapes, have gained significant popularity due to many cottagecore aesthetics. Other designs simply bring a degree of balance to an otherwise understated decor.

Natural Materials

Mass-manufactured materials and furniture are out and items made from natural, organic, and locally sourced materials are in. As well as giving a home a more distinct and unique aesthetic, such materials fit with a rise in environmental consciousness within the home.
