If there’s one thing that 2020 taught us, it’s the importance of cultivating a relaxing and multifunctional home. Last year, we spent more time in our homes than ever before, finding ways to work, exercise, relax, and more all under one roof. As we settle into 2021, many homeowners find creative ways to redesign their homes to fit their new lifestyle. Whether you’re looking to increase your home value, in the process of a home renovation, or merely searching for ways to make your home more luxurious, take a look at the 5 top 2021 home design trends that we expect to see in Texas architecture this year for some inspiration:

This year, we’ve spent more time at home than ever before. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our daily routines and even where we spend our money, with 64% of Americans reporting a change to their financial habits. 

2020 has been a whirlwind for practically everyone and every industry, but especially for offices, retail stores, restaurants, and real estate. As health guidance and regulations adjusted throughout the year, many of us shifted to new ways of working, shopping, dining out, and living. Many workplaces are empty — or close to it — and some retail locations and restaurants have closed down entirely. 

Frameless glass doors can make a stunning addition to your home, with the ability to elevate your style, create a more functional and multi-purpose space, and even add value to your home. 

Your home can play many roles; whether you’re an aspiring hostess or more of a homebody, your home’s architecture, decor, lighting, and more can all contribute to how you (and your guests) feel.

Ultimately, it’s about creating a flow to maximize your living space, create a fluid environment that brings unencumbered serenity without losing functionality.

The minimalist design appeared post-WWI in architecture, mainly due to easy access to modern materials like glass, concrete, steel. The principles extended to art in the 60s, in reaction against abstract art by the likes of Pollock, Kandinsky, Mondrian etc. Interior decorators, furniture designers and musicians soon followed suit. With so many adepts in so many disciplines, including appliances and fixtures, minimalism has become the illustration of an essentialist lifestyle.

A wide patio with wall to wall windows and doors, granting you great views and just the right amount of natural light… This is luxury as we see it. In fact, home appraisers agree. Upgrading your windows and doors for efficiency alone increases your home's value by approximately $8,500. 

But you don’t make an investment such as a wall of folding glass doors just to raise your home value. Instead, you do it because you have dark living space that you want to open up, or you want to change the feel of the entire space. Luxury just happens to be part of the appeal. 

If you’re looking to brighten your home, improve energy efficiency, and enjoy the view, think about changing your patio doors to one of the following.
