I always find it amusing to look at these types of posts. What homes looked like a specific year. I often say I don’t follow trends, I do my own thing, but I must be following trends to a point, as my home doesn’t look like something from the 70s or 80s. Or perhaps it is exactly as I have said in the past, if you go very trendy, which these pictures reflect, then the look will get dated. Stay a little more classic and the look will better endure the test of time.

Martha Stewart says walls are coming back in style. With the pandemic, and more people doing different things in the house a bit of separation is “A good thing!“. Not for everyone I suppose! I’ve always liked walls! I’d like new construction to show options some with, some without.

Tis the time of year to look back at the past year trends and forecast their effect in the coming year. In this case ApartmentTherapy (seems to be my go to website) looks back at 7 trends that dominated 2021. There is talk about biophilic design, bringing the outdoors in. Considering the times we have been living that makes sense. That perhaps also explains the popularity of green sofas. The return of closed floorplans. That’s not too surprising either as families spend more time together the ability to create distinct spaces would be desirable. More elaborate home office spaces also makes sense as more and more we’ve been working from home.
