EPLAN.HOUSENEW HOUSE - TRENDS IN DESIGN AND DECOR
If you are going to build a new house this year, there are 5 of the most popular design areas that you should consider when choosing colors and finishes for a new house.

Trend # 1: Exquisite Kitchen
The choice of kitchen furniture is one of the most critical decisions made when arranging a new home. The kitchen is the heart of the house, and therefore it is in it that you need to show your style and personality. Interestingly, the trend of this year remains the use of neutral shades, gray and natural materials. Only shadows became darker, and natural textures, such as matte porcelain stoneware and textured laminate for wood, began to be used more often.
The beautiful colors of metals are still in trend: bronze, gold, and copper, only in a muted finish. Think of a neutral textures combination and muted shades of kitchen cabinets, with a small number of metal parts: the handles of the cabinets, the mixer in the sink, and even the elements of the fixtures.
These small additions, when used correctly, can have a significant impact on the overall design. The key to success lies in the middle ground - use simple and elegant details and be sure that the kitchen will be both fashionable and stylish for many years to come.

Trend # 2: Bath Paradise
More and more new homeowners want their bathroom to become a more relaxing place. The bathroom is one of the most used rooms after the kitchen, so it is not surprising that families are looking for a place to relax and unwind!
This approach has led to the emergence of a day spa trend, which includes the use of organic forms inspired by nature, the use of natural materials such as wood, and, again, the surge of non-ferrous metals. All this creates a relaxing atmosphere in the bathroom, where we can relax and cleanse ourselves physically and spiritually.
Rectangular ceramic tiles are still in a hot trend this year - large patterns are muted by neutral shades. Dilution with natural stone will create an exciting design and will soothe the eye.

Trend # 3: Connecting Internal and External Space
Whether you are building on a large and wide or on a small and narrow section, the idea of creating a feeling of spaciousness in everyone’s wishlist! This year we will continue to see a closer interaction between indoor and outdoor living spaces, bringing nature to every room of your home.
This unlimited relationship can be created using floor tiles inside and outside the living room or using a complementary color scheme.
The presence of an open terrace adjacent to the open-plan internal living area is ideal, and with the right design, it can really create the feeling that the house has an extra room. Think of sliding doors or large floor-to-ceiling windows to remove visual barriers between these spaces.

Trend # 4: Bedroom Muted Tones
The demand for crisp, vivid white has faded, and it has shrunk to muted shades of gray, light pastel, and warm white. This year, bedroom color trends will be based on these warmer shades to help create sophistication and a sense of calm.
The combination of subdued lighting textured natural fabrics, and soft curtains will also add sophistication to the bedroom. This is an entirely different approach compared to past trends—a personalized approach.
Again, using simplicity at the core and adding emphasis ensures that the interior remains timeless, allowing the bedroom to be open to change to adapt to new trends in the coming years.

Trend # 5: Changing the Rules
Usually, people are drawn to symmetry in design, but changing the rules of balance is not as risky as you think. Consider not placing the washbasin in the center of the wall; spots - only on one side of the kitchen island; or the use of patterned tiles on an adjacent or opposite wall or edge.
It may not be necessary to be creative with each element in the house. Still, if used correctly and following some traditional aesthetic rules, it can add a real sense of style, ensuring that your new home will undoubtedly be different from the interior of your neighbor Joe’s house.
