Luxury Interior Design Trends For All Seasons

Did you know we spend more time indoors now than we used to?   You may be thinking it’s just down to remote working. However, there are other reasons, too, such as technology making streaming games, movies, TV shows, and videos very enticing.  Plus, our outdoor spaces are shrinking unless you live rural.

More people have resulted in less space for outdoor pursuits in most cities, even if being outside is a health requirement to boost our vitamin D levels and promote better sleep.

For people who love being at home and want it to be as enticing as possible, following new interiors and home styles on social media may be an obsession.

There are also many other ways to keep up with and contribute to home interiors, including following blog posts that interest you; for example, this article considers how homes are being redesigned to accommodate our desire to spend more time indoors.

Multi-purpose Spaces

Juggling indoor space to accommodate more activities than usual has challenged many homeowners since the pandemic when the household spent 22 or more hours a day at home.

The first challenge with homes is ensuring we set ourselves up for remote or hybrid working.

The small desk and stool in the corner don’t work well for full workdays at home, and hunching over a laptop on the sofa is bad for your back, neck, and general posture.

Dedicating living spaces to working from home is a must, but it’s not all about the adults; children may also occasionally need to learn from home. Many homeowners cannot afford a larger home or add a room or two, so to accommodate more ‘living,’ all interior rooms must be multi-functional.

What’s exciting is that designers have been working on clever floor plans that ensure more than one activity can happen without much fuss or furniture rearrangement. Homes with large rooms provide the best opportunities for multi-use.

Additionally, open spaces, such as an open-plan interior, can be divided into smaller areas to accommodate everyone and their activities.

Garden Room/Conservatory

Garden rooms, also known as conservatories, are small rooms attached to the house. They have windows and offer more light. They originated in the 17th Century. The garden room is the halfway point between the garden and the home interior, delivering flowers and lush greenery.

While it is often not well insulated like a room in your home, it is protected from weather extremes like strong winds, rain, and snow. Therefore, it can be utilized as a relaxing space, a child’s playroom, storage, or, if it gets good sun, for growing herbs and microgreens.

Design Styles

Popular design styles right now include statement, eclectic glamour, and transition. There is also contemporary modern, art deco, coastal, and Hollywood Regency—no less! There are more, too, like Japandi (a mix of Japanese and Scandinavian).

Japandi

Consider the serene, nature-inspired aesthetic of Japanese design, mix it with the clean lines and natural, earthy tones of Nordic design, and you’ve got Japandi.  Now, visual stepping into a room where you immediately feel calm and relaxed.  There will be strategically placed indoor plants – only one or two to add a touch of the outdoors,  and minimalist furnishing will ensure the room is not crowded.

Transition Style

A trending style is transition style, and it’s all about mixing the old and the new. Classic and contemporary combined, when done well, is impressive to the eye and function.

An example of a transitional style is combining antique and individual statement pieces. Transitional style is an excellent way to express personality and individuality because endless combinations can be used to achieve a personal style.

Eclectic Glamour

Rule 101 is that it should be glamorous. Therefore, glamorous can mean anything from flamboyant and extravagant to beautiful and opulent. Examples of this interior design trend include gold, rich colors, and sumptuous velvets. The rich colors don’t have to be extraordinarily bright, but they can be comforting and lavish.

Statement Pieces

While every room needs a focal point, it mustn’t be extraordinary. Sometimes, something obvious like a sofa or a bed will do. To make a statement, consider using something that will attract the eye, such as a glamorous cabinet or even a grand chandelier.

Marble

Marble has experienced a surge in popularity over recent years. It is opulent, lavish, and glamorous. It comes in a beautiful range of colors, from rustic browns to the purest white. Marble can be used on coffee tables, buffets, and sideboards and fits anywhere.

Summary

A home makeover is always fun and relevant. You can keep up with the latest design trends, better use your floor plan, and use underutilized rooms like the garden room. Either get started with a design app or engage an interior designer to complete the process.
