7 Minimalist Home Design Trends with Natural Elements

Custom home design and building trends are taking a turn for clean modern lines, nature-inspired colors and textures along with more metal accents and designer lighting fixtures.

Take time to consider these seven home design features currently trending in interior design circles.

1. Luxurious Bathroom Spaces with Modern Design Styles & Features

Top interior designers are creating ultra-modern and elegant designer bathroom spaces. Luxury details, circle shapes, luxurious materials, like stunning marble walls, chic soaking bathtubs, floating vanities and shelves, muted neutral hues and splashes of nature are all the rage these days. Wooden looking floor tiles and lots of natural light complete the upscale but still welcoming design theme perfectly.

2. Sustainable Kitchens in Open Floor Plans Featuring Two Tone Natural Colors or Textures

Expect to see kitchens that have sustainable features, open floor plans and two-tone natural hues or textures that are also eco-friendly and sustainable like rattan, wicker baskets and more. The rounded shapes give the otherwise minimalist design style a softer appearance that adds warmth to the space.

Add a comfy bathmat made of plush fibers with foam backing in a neutral color pattern like softened gray and creme for an elevated style. Many designers are using metal in the bathrooms and are incorporating layered lighting, black framed shower glass and unusually shaped mirrors for a stunning and spacious effect.

It is becoming common to find two tone natural color combinations and/or double textures that work well together to create more depth and soften the modern design elements to add ambiance to a space.

3. Shiny Metro Tiles for Kitchen Backsplashes Combined with Wooden Countertops & Copper Accents

Larger metro tiles are making a splash when used as a kitchen backsplash. Consider deep forest green earthenware tiles with a cool shiny surface for added beauty and lush color.

Some interior designers are also doing bolder countertop to ceiling green tiles with a cut-out marble accent wall along with burnt golden below white countertop cabinets in a sleek surface for a more trendy and unique design style with extra flair.

Add a burnt golden-hued metal dropped ceiling light fixture, metal chairs with gold frames and floating gold shelves affixed to the tile walls for a gorgeous result

4. Eco-Friendly Design Using Lots of Natural Materials & Greenery Throughout

Interior design artists are using eco-friendly design features along with lots of natural materials and greenery found in nature. Larger panel cabinets without hardware and made from mid-beige wood with the top cabinets shaded olive or sage is another trending style worth investigating. Soft blue hues with hints of gray are also popular. Add interesting statement lighting and incorporate smart home features to keep the look fresh and modern.

5. Minimalist Designs & Sleek Lines Combined with High-Tech Features

The clean lines of a more minimalist style may also be continued in other parts of the house. High-tech features too are seen in bathroom spaces, laundry rooms, living areas and other spaces. Listen to music and change tunes while in the shower or start your dinner before you get home by turning on the oven remotely.

Darker matte colors are being used on cabinets with thinner lines of tan wooden surfaces for added detailing. Greys, soft ivory and darker mahogany shades are also trending now. Using the matte finish and adding hints of softer neutral colors keeps the space from feeling too austere or cold.

6. Industrial Design Styles with Metal Elements & Designer Lighting

Individuals who love a sleek design style in a modern aesthetic often choose to add industrial design features into their living quarters. This style focuses on metal, plastic or wood elements and often boasts designer lighting to elevate the space nicely. Choose neutral colors that appeal to your inner spirit. Like with other current design trends, softer gray blues, muted greens found in nature and beige or tan colors can keep the area from looking forlorn and too sterile.

Add some rounded furnishings to give the space a polished yet lived in comfortable atmosphere. Consider a round or oval table, hang a larger circular light fixture over an island or tabletop and use splashes of color and textures to keep the room cozy without being overly done or loud.

Try adding a soft white and gray marbled floor and choose muted shades like sage, sand, mushroom or a lighter hue of colonial blue for added pops of natural themed characteristics. Use marble for your kitchen or bathroom countertops and consider off-white subway tile backsplashes set in a herringbone design.

Add pewter or matted silver-colored faucets or other accent pieces to marry the different elements together into a magnificent and cohesive design style.

Gain a third tier by installing a mezzanine structure. This is terrific for smaller rooms that lack enough storage space. The otherwise wasted space can be transformed into extra storage for those items that you do not use on a regular basis.

7. Scandinavian Style Loft Using Soft Greys, Lots of Light with Nature Accents & Compact Kitchens

Many people live in smaller apartments or loft spaces. The Scandinavian design style is perfect for these spaces. It is best to use lighter shades on the walls and ceiling along with having more natural light from a window or skylight. This design option is also ideal for dwellings that have a smaller kitchen area.

Compact kitchens are taking the design world by storm these days. These can be tucked into a corner to make the best use of available space. Keep the kitchen appliances smaller in scale to avoid a cramped looking result.
