Cabana trends and predictions
John Storch
This summer

For most people, their biggest investment is their home and given the current market, it makes good sense to renovate rather than move to improve the quality of everyday living. Here we focus on the latest trends in cabana design to help you choose the design components that will work for you and your property.

An ongoing trend with cabana design is linking the cabana with other external improvements such as tennis courts, swimming pools, gardens and entertaining areas. For this reason, design companies that provide a total concept are becoming more popular and it makes good design sense to ensure that consistent design and materials are used throughout to ensures the overall project is well integrated.

A big trend in cabanas is to design adjustable external walls and floor plans to allow for changeable spaces. This allows for maximum flexibility of use, which is sensible given that cabanas are a big investment. Sliding and concertinaed doors, movable internal partitions and removable external walls, retractable ceilings and awnings, and louvres that can be opened or shut enable flexibility of use. This allows many cabanas to be adapted to a variety of specialised needs such as an office, gym, yoga retreat, artist’s room or spare bedroom, in addition to the usual entertaining purposes.
