Ah, I agree with the people there but I'm gonna tell you what I'm actually seeing in practice.
When I'm making deliveries to new or renovated houses, I see a lot of this open space thing, you know, no walls dividing everything up, but I also noticed that people are really into having these little corners with personality - a vintage couch here, a textured wall there - mixing that boring minimalism with stuff that actually has soul.
And at my friends' places that they renovated this year, I'm seeing a lot of solar panels and these more efficient boilers, sustainability is all over the conversations, but what's really trending is the flexibility of spaces, because nobody wants to be locked in a room just working all night like before.
What's really catching on right now in 2026 is that more minimalist style but with natural materials, you know? Houses with lots of wood, stone, neutral colors and few pieces of furniture, but everything high quality.
People are wanting less junk and more stuff that lasts, and also sustainable architecture is in fashion, solar panels, better insulation, that kind of thing.
And another thing I'm seeing a lot is open space kind of disappearing because people are working from home, so they want separate rooms again to have privacy and peace and quiet.
I agree with you, but I'd say what's really trending is people mixing this minimalism with spaces that serve more than one purpose - like home office, living room, all that stuff combined - because nobody's got extra space anymore. You keep that clean aesthetic, but it's actually functional, you know? None of that design for design's sake.
What's really standing out is this fusion between comfort and sustainability, like houses that prioritize natural light to cut down on artificial lighting, solar panels that look increasingly discreet, and really thoughtful thermal insulation. People are less interested in *looking* sustainable and more interested in actually saving energy.
And I think nobody's really talking much about the finishes side of things - there's a shift back to raw, unpolished materials, you know? Exposed concrete, visible brick, untreated wood. Seems like people got tired of that ultra-clean, perfect finish vibe. Along with that comes this thing of having fewer things but each one being carefully chosen, and that aligns with what was mentioned about versatile spaces.
