The biggest renovation trends for 2021
This year is one of the most exciting ones for renovations. Whereas in the past trends were more about aesthetics, this year the focus is also firmly on function. More people are looking at how they can change their home to ensure they can work comfortably remotely for the foreseeable future. As one of the top names for residential architecture London has, we want to look at some of the biggest trends to arise in these tricky times.
Working
Until it became a necessity, the number of people who worked from home in the UK was pretty small. Now though there has been a huge change in attitudes. Even if many workspaces can reopen as normal in the future, some people may not want to go back to traditional working. Instead, they may choose to retain the flexibility and convenience of working from home. However, to do this for the long term they may need to renovate to create a suitable workspace. They will need to design this to suit their role and what they need to perform, whether it is quiet space or a way to boost productivity.
Entertainment
The other way homes have evolved over the last year is they have had to become spaces for more recreation. A renovation can help to make this a reality. It can create flexible spaces that can be useful for all kinds of entertainment, from gaming to hobbies and even workout spaces. You can think outside of the box to make enjoying your hobby at home a possibility.
Bathrooms
People spending more time at home means that finding time for peace and relaxation can be much harder. However, a bathroom upgrade can help to create an oasis of calm. You could choose a bigger bath tub for relaxing or opt for a comfortable steam shower set up.
Outdoors
Not every home has its own outdoor space. If you do, you have a really great opportunity to connect the spaces inside and outside. A natural flow here can really enhance your property. It is also greener and can help to make the indoor space a calmer, more enjoyable part of the property.
Using all of the space
Sadly many homes are quite inefficient in how they use space. There may be lots of areas in the property where it is going to waste because of the shape of the room or choice of furnishings and layout. A renovation can help to resolve this and make the whole property better. You could even go for a larger investment and choose a loft or basement conversion.
