2021 Home Design Trends
The new year is right around the corner, and that means that there are a plethora of new home design trends coming our way!
At the end of each year, home builders and designers look forward to guessing what the biggest trends will be for the upcoming year in hopes of building beautiful, unique, and stylish custom homes.
If you’re thinking of building a custom home in 2021, we’ve outlined some of our favourite up-and-coming home design and architectural trends for the new year!
Statement Ceilings
Look up! Ceilings are making a statement in 2021, with custom moulding, beams, and paint that draws the eye upward. This often forgotten canvas will be brought to life by home builders and designers through bold colours, textures, and patterns this year.
Front Porches
More custom homeowners will take advantage of outdoor living in 2021 with the return of the front porch. These inviting spaces will take shape as an extension of the living space, featuring warm lighting, comfy seating, and a place to rest your drink.
Natural Wood Accents
Bringing the comfort and calmness of the outdoors to the home, many houses will include natural wood accents in 2021. These rich wooden features are able to span both the interior and exterior of the home, showcased as unique, grain-filled beams, doors, counters, staircases, and more.
Smart Home Technology
More builders are being asked to incorporate smart home features into their custom home builds. From lights, to thermostats, to security systems, and everything in between—homes with built-in smart home technology will be all the rage in 2021.
Dark & Moody Colours
Playing off the moody interiors of academia, dark wall colours are making an appearance in 2021. Inside custom homes, you’ll see cozy rooms coloured in luxurious charcoal, navy, emerald, and more—dressed up with touches of brass, gold, and tobacco.
Textured Glass
Textured glass is making a comeback! This trend takes inspiration from mid-century modern architecture, incorporating textured doors, windows, and partition walls into the home. Whether wavy, frosted, or custom designed—textured glass features will be popping up in a ton of custom homes in 2021.
