Design Predictions For 2013

There are many things that have happened this year and we have seen all of these innovations and creative ideas that flooded the market. As this year comes to an end, the trending styles in home designing for 2013, is slowly taking shape. These are some of the designing forecast by professional interior designers on the trending styles that will be in demand next year.

First of these trending designs is the increased preference of interior designers and homeowners for spacious and “triangular” living rooms. The open spaces make living rooms more lively and beautiful. The demand for such living room styles have began late this year and it expected to spread like wildfire next year.Triangular placement of sofas and the couch is gaining popularity than the traditional box style where the sofas and couch are placed in a box like position with a small table in the middle.

Next is the revival of outdoor “living rooms” in vast open areas. Outdoor living is now being preferred more as compared to the declining taste of outdoor kitchens which was prevalent during the recent years. More homeowners are favoring houses with open lawns and backyards in order to transform it into a beautiful place for outdoor living.

Another thing that is gaining preference and trending is the use of extended units or rooms outside of the house for entertaining guests. These units are still connected to the house but are not part of the house proper. It is a stand alone “house” intended just as a receiving area for entertaining guests.  

Also glass rooms where 90% of the walls are transparent glass to create a light-filled space perfect for relaxing and enjoying natural light. These open spaces in a home has been prevalent during the last decade, but today and especially in the year to come, this room design will surely be one of the most used style in home designing.

Lastly, the use of small compact, pocket office is in high demand today. Utilizing a small corner of a house or a small space normally used as places to store excess items into a small office is gaining popularity today, especially with the increasing rate of people working at home. The compact office will surely dominate homes of people nationwide.
