Last year, as more and more people were forced to spend more time at home, the focus on general home design has been intensified. Now, custom home builders and those looking to design and build their own homes from the ground up are looking at the trends set to make an impact in 2021. One of the main trends, particularly for the state of Texas, is the increased focus on outdoor living areas.

Outdoor Living Space Trends For Texas-Based Custom Homes In 2021 Texas as a state is known for its temperate climate, with some areas experiencing a particularly hot and humid summer. This is why the focus on outdoor living spaces has always been critical for those designing and building homes in the Lone Star State. There is nothing more pleasant than relaxing in a beautiful and well-designed outdoor living space during a warm summer’s night or spending a leisurely day lounging in the sun with a refreshing, cool drink. Last year, as more and more people were forced to spend more time at home, the focus on general home design has been intensified. Now, custom home builders and those looking to design and build their own homes from the ground up are looking at the trends set to make an impact in 2021. One of the main trends, particularly for the state of Texas, is the increased focus on outdoor living areas. It has been said that 2021 will be the year of the pergola. The best way to make sure that your garden or outdoor living space is enjoyed year-round is by ensuring that there is enough shade. Although most people are happy to spend some time lounging in the sun, the best way to go about making an outdoor area inviting is by making sure that there is adequate shade to retreat to for when the sun gets too hot or too intense. This is easily done by investing in a pergola. A pergola is an eye-catching sight, and it can be beautified with plants and fairy lights to create a stunning backyard feature. It is also less expensive than building a solid structure and can be designed in a variety of styles to suit the overall style of the home. Additionally, a pergola isn’t difficult to construct and can easily be put up in a day or two, which makes it affordable to install. A pergola offers the perfect place for dining, lounging, and other leisure activities. Secondly, a very innovative design trend that is already being adopted by several custom home builders is that of the pass-through between the kitchen and the outdoor area. This is often no more than a well-designed window that is at a comfortable level to pass food and drinks through to the outside. It can even double as a cocktail bar if it is adequately designed. This type of innovation will see people make more use of their outdoor areas and will encourage the use of the garden space. Finally, a new design trend that custom home builders will adopt in the year 2021 is that of the backyard or separate cottage. After a year that saw members of the same household
compete with one another during video calls, or having to keep the children quiet while trying to focus on work, it is only understandable that a quiet and separate escape will make landfall in design trends of 2021. The backyard cottage can be utilized as a break-away space for meetings or calls, and can even be rented out when it is not needed to provide a family with an additional source of income. Custom home design trends are always changing and the trends are usually in line with what the public’s need is regarding the home in any particular year. The year 2020 was one of change and the global population needed to adapt to an entirely new way of doing things, and one of those things was spending more and more time at home. This influenced a lot of the thinking around home design trends and that is why we can see that the focus for design trends for the home, whether that be for indoor or outdoor spaces, is centered around comfort and spending time with friends and loved ones.
