It’s not surprising that home design trends are starting to see a shift in 2021. As people have spent more time at home over the past year, they’ve made changes to both how their homes function, as well as the interior design. 

Keep reading to learn about 6 popular home designs that are trending in Hoboken, Jersey City, and beyond. 

Floor-to-Ceiling Windows

Everyone wants more outdoor space these days. Living in Jersey, that outdoor space can’t be used in cold winter months. But, with floor-to-ceiling windows, you can let the light in without having to step outside. Floor-to-ceiling windows make any room feel bigger while creating an airy and refreshing feel. All this, and you get to enjoy views of the city you love. 

Multifunctional Rooms

We are doing more in our homes, which means we’ve had to adjust spaces accordingly. We’ve seen living rooms turned into a video-conferencing center, dining rooms turned into an office, and guest-room turned into a home gym. With the right organization and a bit of creativity, you can design flexible living spaces that suit your lifestyle. 

Zoom-worthy Office Space

In these remote working days, the makeshift office space has become a permanent fixture in many people’s homes. That’s why more and more people are creating home office spaces that are worthy of Zoom meetings and conferences. Not only do they look more professional on the screen, but they create a motivating space to focus and be productive. 

Bold Colors

From dark, earthy tones, to bright vibrant hues, pops of color are showing up in kitchens, bedrooms, and living rooms. Rather than monochromatic rooms of all-white or neutrals, contrasting color schemes, such as a deep charcoal kitchen island with a light-colored countertop, are appearing in more homes. Whether paint or wallpaper, people are getting bolder with color. 

Architectural Features

Whether you live in a historic building or modern new construction, architectural features make a unique statement. This can be as simple as new decorative trim around windows and doors. For those looking for more extensive remodeling, arched doorways in the entrance, decorative molding on walls, or an eye-catching ceiling are all ways to highlight architectural features. Of course, if your building has coveted featured like wood beams or exposed brick, make that a highlight of your home!

Individualized Decor

Matching everything is a trend that is fading. Mixing-and-matching metals and styles is popping up all over. With a more eclectic decor style, you can highlight your favorite art pieces, mix-and-match fabric patterns, and add in pops of color all in the same room. 

Bring the Outdoors In

It seems every property we walk into these days has house plants, and we love it! Even on the dreariest days, indoor plants liven up any room. And no worries if you don’t exactly have a green thumb, there are plenty of fake indoor plants that look and feel like the real thing!
