Renova- tions that might have been de rigueur 20 years ago may seem dated now. Recognizing the potentially popular trends of tomorrow is a great way for homeowners to give their homes a fresh new look and put themselves in position to capitalize on popular trends when they put their homes on the market. That's especial- ly so after 2020, a year when millions of people spent more time at home than ever be- fore. All that time working from home and relaxing at home gave millions of home- owners ideas about what they like about their homes and what they hope to change. The following are some reno- vation trends that various ex- perts suspect could emerge in 2021. • Eco-friendly living: Cli- mate change, and how to com- bat it, was a hot button issue during the 2020 presidential election in the United States. So it should come as no sur- prise that urdesignmag.com, a web magazine that showcas- es creative trends in design, architecture, art, technolo- gy, and fashion, predicts that eco-friendly living solutions figure to be hot commodities in 2021. Eco-friendly appli- ances, furniture and designs can help to conserve energy and reduce waste, which en- vironmentalists and govern- ment agencies like the Envi- ronmental Protection Agency note are two critical compo- nents in the fight against cli- mate change. • Large windows: Large windows can provide stun- ning views of the outdoors and allow ample natural light into a home. It may not be a coincidence if large win- dows prove to be a hot trend in 2021. The COVID-19 pan- demic that dominated much of 2020 forced many people to spend considerably more time at home. Darker homes with- out much natural light can ad- versely affect mood, especial- ly when people are spending more time at home. HGT V predicts that homeowners will seek ways to bring more natural light into their homes in 2021, and large windows naturally brighten homes while making rooms appear bigger, helping people feel less cramped. That's an espe- cially beneficial characteris- tic when spending more time indoors at home. • Minimalism: The an- ticipated popularity of mini- malism in 2021 may also be connected to the pandemic. As professionals were forced to work from home and ma- ny families spent more time together inside their homes then ever before, they may have recognized a need to cut back on clutter, including extra furniture. A minimalist approach is both simple and clean, which can make homes feel less claustrophobic. • Multi-functional spac- es: Homeowners asked a lot of their homes in 2020, as rooms were transformed into multi-functional spac- es seemingly overnight. HGT V notes that spending more time at home showed homeowners that it may not make sense to dedicate en- tire rooms of a home to a sin- gle purpose. Renovations that can help homeowners trans- form rooms into multi-func- tional spaces figure to be hot commodities in the years ahead. TRENDS Renovation
