5. Personality
Houses need periodic “personality makeovers” to reflect the personalities of the homeowners and to stay current and relevant. There is a trend towards authenticity, embellishing the house with meaningful furniture, furnishings and accessories. Handcrafted arts, antiques, and products procured over a period of time are making a comeback.

6. Environmental Matters
The continual uptick in sustainability has increased year over year. Incorporation of LEDs, quality furnishings, and finding uses for well-loved pieces in the home are part of this trend.

7. Multi-Generational
To design a home is not just for present day, but a look at what is to come. The inclusion of elevators, first floor master suites, curbless showers, and wider doors can be part of this vision. Spaces for family to visit and in-law suites are designed to suit those who frequent the residence and to provide a home that is inclusive to all.

8. Entertaining Back in the Home

9. Everything's in Its Place
An organized home makes for an organized mind. Thoughtfully designed spaces can reduce the accumulation of clutter throughout a house. From mudrooms to master closets, attention to the storage needs of the homeowners will make the flow of life smoother.

10. Family Focus
Everything comes back to family—family by blood or family by choice. To have spaces that revolve around one’s loved ones is centric to the design of the home. As SV moves through the design process with a homeowner, we want to know everyone who occupies the spaces and what their interests are, in order to design a home that is personalized to each member of the family.
