THROWBACK Open-plan living is popular, but we’re seeing a switch


towards distinctly zoned spaces


In the past five years, our open-plan kitchens have continued to get bigger and technology has become increasingly sophisticated at a very fast rate. Shaker style is back in fashion, as we seek a classic-contemporary feel to suit the era of our properties, while colour has also started to take over, with grey and blue kitchens proving incredibly popular. Social media may have played a part in us being braver, thanks to the rise of sites such as Instagram and Pinterest. The industrial look really took off, too, as did maximalist bedrooms and spa-inspired bathrooms. In recent years, it’s been hard to not notice the rise in Victorian properties up and down the country being renovated and incorporating classic steel-framed glazing, as well as more traditional bathroom fixtures and fittings, all paying homage to styles of the past. And now in 2020? The kitchen is going through a smart makeover with the latest appliances designed to talk to each other and connect with your Amazon Alexa or Google Home Assistant; bedrooms are the opposite (we hope) and created with wellbeing in mind, including features that help us zone out of a technology-heavy world; and bathrooms now have so much choice in terms of finishes – from brushed brass and tarnished copper to matt black and colourful fictures – it’s hard to know which to choose. However, while large open-plan living was popular at the start of 2015, we’re seeing a change back to cosier and more zoned spaces, coined ‘broken plan’, with multi-level islands featuring integrated dining tables – very similar to what you would find in the late 2000s – and products that help makes our homes feel entirely unique and personal to us. Looking back through these issues, the key finding is that while things come and go and evolve, what hasn’t changed is that these three rooms are still very much the most important places in our homes.
