Ready for a spring clean? Perhaps some decorating over the long Easter weekend? Maybe you are planning a much bigger project? Let’s take a look at some of the most popular home renovation trends of Spring 2024 to help you create an aesthetic and vibrant home.
It is not surprising that due to rising mortgage rates and a fluctuating housing market lots of homeowners are choosing to invest in their current properties rather than move. Extensions remain a popular method of home renovation as people look to create larger living spaces and kitchens, and possibly even add more bedrooms to their property.
Trends to look out for in Spring 2024
- Making our homes more energy efficient.
- Bring the outside in – natural fabrics, décor, and light.
- Communal spaces – open plan rooms to share with your family.
- Embracing maximalism – bold and vibrant statement pieces.
Energy efficient home design – Reducing our carbon footprint with stunning home renovations.
This Spring, there’s a growing emphasis on making our homes more energy efficient. From investing in smart appliances to implementing sustainable building materials, homeowners are prioritising eco-friendly solutions to reduce their carbon footprint and lower their energy bills.
We’ve all experienced the difficulties of a conservatory – too cold to sit in during the winter, and then sweltering in the summer. Instead of investing in a full-scale conservatory, one high-quality roof light can bring effortless style and sophistication to a room without making it inhabitable. EDGEsky ensures that you can keep the heat in and the weather out by eliminating the risk of cold bridging. This has been achieved by isolating the external profiles from the internal ones. Coupled with high-performance glazing, the EDGEsky aluminium roof lantern is an industry leader in reduced heat transfer. By ensuring that the warmth generated inside your home stays in the house, you will not see an increase in your energy consumption, and you’ll be able to enjoy the warmth of solar energy during those glorious summer days.
“Edge provides a great range of stock and bespoke sizes of rooflights to fit any size requirement. Glazed from edge to edge, the mastic joints are not exposed, thereby reducing the chance of them breaking down in adverse weather conditions overtime.” Gavin Stephens, Bespoke Department
Bring the outside in – Bridge the gap between nature and the home.
Nature-inspired elements take center stage as we bring the outside in. Expect to see a surge in natural fabrics, earthy tones, and botanical motifs to create a serene and organic ambiance within your living spaces. Houseplants are just as popular as they were during the COVID years, so a trip to the garden center should be in the diary! Let ample natural light flood your rooms, illuminating every corner with warmth and vitality.
Flat roofs are becoming more popular, especially with the rise of ‘living roofs’, an exciting trend in eco-design. Flat roofs also provide an excellent opportunity for a flat glass rooflight to bring a stream of light and warmth into a room. The EDGEsky flat glass rooflight is the ultimate in simplistic modern design, making the view the focal point of your room. By flooding your living space or new kitchen extension with light, you can bring attention to the vibrant greens of any botanical décor. Your house plants will also be happy, as they can thrive in the warm and sunny environment.
Open-plan living – Creating spaces that your family can enjoy together.
In the spirit of togetherness, open-plan living spaces will remain popular in Spring 2024. Designing communal areas where family and friends can gather together and connect fosters a sense of unity and shared experiences. Whether it’s a spacious kitchen island, or a cosy family room, creating inviting spaces that you can all enjoy together will boost the market value of your home and improve your family’s quality of life.
Kitchen extensions are always popular. With working from home remaining a feature of many professionals’ lives, that new kitchen island may also be doubling as a desk and a board room. It is important to work, live, and cook in a space that has a reliable source of natural light. Many studies have proven that natural light improves our mental health, helps our bodies produce Vitamin D, and regulates our circadian rhythms. The EDGEsky roof lantern has been optimised to provide the largest glass span and fewest rafters of any other system currently available. With more glass and less roof, you can leave the main light off during your video calls, reducing your energy consumption and improving your overall well-being.
Embracing maximalism – Bring back vibrant colours and bold style choices this Spring.
Say goodbye to the minimalism of recent years and hello to a new wave of maximalism. Spring 2024 celebrates boldness and self-expression through vibrant statement pieces and eclectic home décor choices. Experiment with rich textures, and unexpected colour combinations to infuse your home with personality and flair.
Did you know that you can bring your home’s colour scheme to your rooflight? There is no need to compromise with an uninspiring window with EDGEsky rooflights. The stock sizes of EDGEsky roof lanterns are available in Gloss White, Matt Grey, and Matt Black. The EDGEsky flat glass rooflights are available in Matt Black and Matt Grey as stock. Not exciting enough? Any EDGEsky rooflight can be supplied in a bespoke colour of your choice from the standard RAL and BS colour ranges. Bring light into your home and the wow-factor with an exciting frame colour.
“Edge offers a wide range of stock and bespoke colours to suit the needs of our customers. A special feature of the EDGEsky rooflights is the pocket for plasterboard, allowing for a more aesthetically pleasing finish.” Gavin Stephens, Bespoke Department
