Design trends and concepts change each year because of their popularity and functionality. Knowing the popular home design styles helps you make an informed decision on how you want your home to feel and look.

You can choose inspiration from the curated design trends and apply it to your home. These sensational styles will give your home a welcoming aura. 

1. Dark wood furniture

The trend for modern home interior designs has recently shifted to earthy tones and Scandinavian-inspired. This design trend will never go out of style because its design scheme is grounded in neutrals.

 You can see walls and furniture that have dark wood finishes. Moreover, the trend has incorporated other earthy tones. This wood texture creates a warm and cosy feeling. 

2. Focuses on landscapes

Having an outdoor space has always been popular among homeowners, but how it is designed changes. These days, the trend is to have a minimalist outdoor area, nothing too grand. Moreover, as some areas are experiencing drought, home designers or landscape experts are making innovations to have gardens that use less water. 

3. Lighting statement

Light fixtures do not only illuminate spaces, but it also adds personality to the room. Most modern houses have a high ceiling and large light fixtures in the living area to define the space. You choose a lighting fixture that has substantial features.

4. Defined styles

Homeowners prefer modern and contemporary styles, but what made this back to the trend is its defined styles. It has gained more attention as homeowners can easily describe what they want for their homes. Light wood and white minimalist styles take off the modern design for home interiors.

5. Maximise space

Most modern homes have smaller spaces, but construction and design experts know how to maximise the space by adding storage, creating light, and making the rooms spacious. Meanwhile, a couple of designs can make an illusion. For example, designers prefer using acrylic stools for the kitchen counter because they do not obstruct the sight line, tricking the eyes that the kitchen is spacious. 

6.  Exclusive pieces that culminate in self-expression.

Let’s also address the personal touch of the homeowners. This may not fall into the construction, but this is the essence of interior design. Modern homes are more self-expressive. It is a beauty to add exclusive art pieces around your home to show your emotions and personality.  

7. “Clofice” (Office inside a closet).

Lastly, the significant change in design trends is the lasting impact of the pandemic on our daily lives. The majority of us are now in a work-from-home setup. Nowadays, modern homes accommodate this need. Homes with small spaces make use of their unused closet as a workspace. You can close the closet after work and put your workspace away.
