The 3 design features buyers are prioritizing in 2021

Know these design terms to support trend-oriented buyers this year

APRIL 12, 2021

For design-savvy buyers, the question of what details are most desirable is almost too big

to answer. The perfect house has it all. That said, there is a range of trends and styles that
have surged to the top of must-have lists in today’s luxury real estate market.

Rather than looking at each design detail one by one, it’s helpful to take a step back and

examine the broader themes that these trending spaces share. This allows agents to spot

examples in every listing, finding the features that will resonate with clients.

Now more than ever, buyers are seeking spaces that can move, flex, and effortlessly

transform. Doreen Trudeau, Global Real Estate Advisor with Venture Sotheby’s
International Realty in Hawaii has seen multiple recent examples.

“Great rooms divided by screens to create privacy, spare bedrooms converted into offices,

and areas that function as a workspace by day and a dining room by night,” lists Trudeau.

“The need to create secluded workspaces, especially with more than one professional in
the house, has owners repurposing nooks and closets.”
