What’s your style? Are you into organic modern, dark and moody colors, or are you all about kid zones and listening rooms? According to a recent article in Realtor Magazine, home designs are becoming a mishmash of many styles. On one end, there are calming, Zen-like retreats in softer color palettes, while on the other end, it’s all about dark and moody colors that are bold and memorable.
Embracing Moody Colors
Whatever your style, there is something for everyone. Moody seems to be the theme this year, with searches for “moody living rooms” and “moody kitchens” on the rise. Apparently, bright whites and light grays are out, and dark and moody colors are in. Sleek lines and modern design are also in style, along with the use of natural forms and materials.
The Rise of Reading Rooms
Do you have a reading room? Solitary reflection and reading are high on the list for homeowners these days, so if you have a reading corner or a library wall, you’re in vogue. If you find your home lacking, no worries. A little book nook will do 🙂
The Trend of Listening Rooms
Of course, you’ll want to have a listening room. Who knew? Apparently, online searches for listening rooms have doubled. A listening room is specifically designed for optimizing sound quality. Building a dedicated space for listening to music may be complex and expensive, but it’s the ultimate for anyone who wants to maximize listening potential.
The Cold Plunge Craze
Speaking of ultimate, don’t forget the cold plunge. Brrr! Cold water plunges reduce inflammation, and having your own personal plunge is all the rage. If immersing yourself in water temperatures between 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit isn’t appealing, you can settle for an indoor sauna or backyard spa.
Outdoor Leisure and Recreational Spaces
Zen gardens are in, and outdoor leisure spaces are trendy. Do you have room for a bocce court or bowling alley? Perhaps you can settle for a simple game room? Recreational space is gaining popularity, and that includes kid zones. That’s right, your kid now needs a gaming bedroom. Really?
Finding What Matters Most
Whatever your style, rest assured that home trends come and go. What’s most important in your home is what matters most to you and your family. You may not have a cold plunge, a dedicated listening room, a library, or a game room, but I bet you have a deck of cards, a good book, and a quiet place to cuddle up after a cool rinse in the shower. And.That.Is.Enough.
