Luxury homes are evolving amidst this pandemic to keep the focus on homes that are both user friendly and maintenance-free. A dedicated workspace that functions as a work-from-home area is also being seen in homes.

DO THE ‘NEW’

Designers are exploring newer layout trends for designing luxury homes, like creating different smaller pockets of spaces within larger spaces.

“Today multiple larger gathering spaces within the house have reduced and is substituted with more work from home spaces, multifunctional spaces, workout areas and entertainment zones. In terms of materials, a lot of new-age composite, technology-created materials are being accepted and widely used. This not only gives luxury homes a totally new dimension but also a refreshing and eco-friendly space,” says Vyoma Patwa Motiramani, principal architect, Design Lab Vyoma. Classic-style homes are growing in popularity nowadays as well as modern or contemporary homes.

“Earthen ethnic houses have also become popular amongst buyers. People like to opt for bolder colours to highlight a section or feature of their home, while they go for subtle colours in other places,” says Shitesh Agrawal, MD, Sankalp Designers.
