Architectural
design trends in 2016
Trends
are always evolving with design changes and define a generation. Although trends
don’t emerge as rapidly here as they do in say, lifestyle, the economic
condition / environmental challenges and demographic portfolio all reflect and
play a vital role in the choices of materials, designs, interiors, automation and
construction technique for residential dwellings.
A
trend is something that takes off and has the potential to sustain as well as
give direction for decades in some cases characterizing an era. The following
few trends in materials, concepts and strategies will be coming to more homes
and will influence real estate choices in the forthcoming years.
1.
Modern Metallics - The showstopper of 2016 is going to be
metallics, bringing a sophisticated and glamorous metallic sturdy touch to any
space. Whether it be including a sleekness with metallic silver or chrome or giving
a warmth with space to any metal being- gold, rose gold or copper, every architectural
institute of design will greatly benefit from this trend.
In spite of the fact
that we have had the utilization of metals for a long period of time now, one
key difference that sets this year’s utilization compared to the previous years
is the flexibility to play around with mix and match of metals. This concept
brings in huge variation of metal usage and their base characteristics thereby
providing a pleasant feel to each home.
2. Open concept/sustainable
design: Every room with a door and four walls
has become a history today. Instead of these traditional rooms, within open
concept rooms are visually connected making a home without separations and
thereby giving a feel of having huge space. The trending rooms are more defined
by changes in the ceiling or floors rather than walls. These spaces connect with
each other without barriers creating a more minimalistic interior design.
Cultural trends have long
been known to influence the design and the coming years will reflect a big bang
towards eco-friendly interiors making a
more environment-friendly design. Also, it’s ideal to focus on using interior
design elements such as outdoor fabrics, deep kitchen drawers, bedrooms with
rustic wood on walls and ceilings, bathrooms with graphic wallpaper and ornate
chandeliers and finally incorporating natural materials such as wood or stone
that not only look great but are also well made and eco-friendly.
3. Wild Geometrics: This
is a rejuvnation of the 70s that has come back round as trends repeats themselves.
When it comes to grooming the visual interest of a room adding a few geometric
shapes always comes up trumps.
A positive attribute
about this trend is that it can easily be incorporated into any style of
architectural design be it a square or rectangle. Those who like an
ultra-modern sleek look should consider choosing shapely furniture pieces or
light fixtures. In some instances, just try incorporating a geometric pattern
into the room using floor tiles thereby making it more classic and affordable.
4. Characteristic
Interiors: Interior styling trends will always reflect
personal interest and experiences. Combinations of styles, pieces, materials,
colours and positioning will be the direction for many homes. The coming years
vow for art decorated inspiring patterns and shapes, traditional indoor
fabrics, coloured stainless steel appliances, graphic wallpapers, workhouse
island style kitchens, fully decorated living rooms, dazzling prints and
textures, bold powder room wall coverings and eclectic and sophisticated
looking modern kitchens.
Pantone recently
announced the 2016 colour of the year and for the first time, it’s a pairing of
two colours — Serenity and Rose Quartz which are slightly dustier versions of
baby blue and blush pink.
Make up the best home with these interior combos.
5. Integration of Outdoor
and Indoor: What used to be a much-defined line or
wall is now diminished. Rooms now blend into the outdoors since homeowners want
the exterior area to be just as important as the interior living spaces and are
including everything from full kitchens to furniture and TV’s.
Private
courtyards that open up to two or three rooms in the home extend the living and
entertaining space and accessibility as well as the utility. The trend may
further increase interest in landscape design since the greater connection will
make yards more a part of homes rather than separate entities to be enjoyed in
prime weather.
