New Home Design Trends of 2020

Flexibility is the 2020 rallying cry. We know you’re looking for a home that does more with its space. Find out how your next home can help you live your best life with the top new home design trends from 2020.

Dedicated Home Offices

2020 is the year that redefined remote work. Now that many employers are choosing to make remote work an option, homebuyers are looking for flex space that can be used as a home office. That may mean a private space with a door, or you might find that a living room nook or loft provide the right balance between work and home. A home office also requires appropriate lighting and internet connectivity. With our HomeSmart® program, our homes include smart temperature and lighting controls and a mesh WiFi system to help you stay connected.

Flexible Living Spaces

With an increased amount of time being spent at home, new home design trends have focused on flexible room configurations that allow you to create multiple spaces in one room. Flexible lighting that can be bright for day and cozy for evening is also increasing in popularity. Go from work to movie night in the same space with a twist of the dimmer.

Health and Wellness in the Home

The trends toward health, wellbeing, and improved indoor air quality continued in 2020. HealthSmart®, a part of Tri Pointe Homes LivingSmart program. So, our homes come equipped with features, finishes, and filters that help contribute to healthier indoor air quality for you and your family.

Larger Uncluttered Kitchens

The kitchen remains the heart of family activity, but minimalist kitchens have become more popular. Concealing clutter behind cabinets gives you more space to cook and entertain. Kitchen islands with sinks that face the main living area allow you to be a part of the action during meal prep. Islands have also emerged as a secondary work or dining space. Especially popular are double islands, oversized islands with seating, and islands with attached tables.

More Private Spaces

Bedrooms aren’t just for sleeping. Rather than a large primary bedroom, you could opt for a primary suite with a flexible secondary space that can be a den, home office, or home gym.

Children’s bedrooms also need more functionality, with flexible closet storage that can change as they grow and built-in desks with outlets for devices.

Multi-generational families are looking for flexible living spaces that include a bedroom, private bathroom, small living area, and even a kitchenette.

An Outdoor Oasis

In 2020, more families are focused on indoor/outdoor living at home and within their community. Whether you have a roof-top patio or a large backyard, your home’s design should allow you to maximize all of your space. Sliding glass doors that fully open merge the inside and outside. A built-in barbecue or grill simplifies outdoor cooking. Many of our communities also feature walking trails, parks, gardens, and pools, so you can enjoy outdoor recreation without leaving your neighborhood.

The home design trends that emerged or grew in popularity in 2020 promise to continue for years to come. Your next home should fit the needs of your current lifestyle, but also include flexible spaces that can adapt to fit your lifestyle in future.
