Post-Covid Home Design Trends, Inspired By Nature

In nature and lifestyle destinations like Santa Teresa, well-designed luxury homes continue to be in high demand

Builders, architects, interior designers and real estate brokers are discovering that buyers are showing no signs of slowing down and what they are looking for has likely changed forever The pandemic has changed the priorities of the average homebuyer in ways we never imagined two years ago, especially in the luxury market

While many parts of the world seem to be returning to “normal life” with the vaccine rollouts, the pandemic continues, and will continue to influence the demand of certain design trends in homes into the future

Perhaps one of the most significant shifts going forward will be the mindset that our home is our sanctuary

Views, space, nature and privacy are in high demand Floor to ceiling windows are what everybody wants Soft, warm, natural lighting is the first choice of homebuyers Gardens, beautiful landscapes and wellness spaces were craved when not had and also became a matter of great importance The same is true of locations as people realized they could be anywhere when they didn’t have to commute to the office

More people worked remotely than ever before, making home offices or workspace a must have We have seen it in our market as have many resort and nature markets around the globe that started setting record real estate sales shortly after the pandemic began

Color themes and decor continue in the line of neutral hues and calming tones Design inspirations and styles are nature-inspired, and designers are thinking of the outdoors in every area of the homes they are creating Seems like homebuyers are looking for their new homes to function as extensions of the outdoor experience

The design trends that are appearing in the present illustrate our deep desire to return to what we truly value: a home that is a refuge, a place to disconnect and reconnect with family and loved ones The pandemic has taught us so much about what we consider important and how we can better find balance in our everyday lives
