As housing prices continue to fall in 2024, mortgage rates remain high. With so much uncertainty in the housing market, homeowners wanting more space are choosing to extend their current properties. We expect to see more homeowners opting for orangery, conservatory and house extension installations. 

Trends show that homeowners are looking to create versatile spaces that can be used all year round. With an energy efficient installation, properties will benefit from reliable thermal performance and extra space that can be used for multiple purposes.

The last couple of years have seen the rise in multifunctional rooms, with homeowners seeking more versatility to adapt to their evolving needs. Related search terms like ‘hobby room’ and ‘living room dining room combo’ saw a huge increase of 178% in the past year, according to Pinterest Trends.

Bathroom brands and interior designers are collaborating and transforming bathroom spaces into an experience that users have mostly experienced only in hotels, but nowadays it can easily be in the convenience and comfort of the home.

Function is one of the most important considerations in achieving the ‘spathroom’ - a mix of ‘spa’ and ‘bathroom’ so start small with concealed storage to clear away any clutter and create a calming space without any distractions.

Earthy textures and natural products can create a beautiful spa aesthetic - consider tiles that imitate the feeling and texture of natural stone, a wood finish for the vanity, and accents of linen and cotton.
