4 . HEALTHY AT HOME
On Houzz , we ’ re seeing homeowners search for ‘ home gym ’ and ‘ garden gym ’ ideas , which have both risen dramatically in popularity this year . In 2021 , we expect to see more exercise equipment that fits seamlessly into interiors or furniture that doubles up . We may even see pieces that have stain-resistant , waterproof , warming or anti-odour properties coming to the market .

5 . COLOURFUL BATHROOMS
While white kitchens grow in popularity , we ’ re seeing our community starting to go in the opposite direction in their bathrooms , with homeowners instead filling their ideabooks with designs bursting with colour . Standing out in that mostsaved list were a variety of examples , noticeably designs featuring pink cabinetry , gold grouting , pastel sanitaryware and rich zellige tiles . Meanwhile , ‘ pink bathroom ’, ‘ navy bathroom ’ and ‘ gold bathroom ’ were brand-new additions to the most popular search terms on Houzz in the latter half of 2020 , with designers predicting further growth for these trends in 2021 .
6 . LUXURY VINTAGE
Sustainability , climate change and the impact we have on our planet continue to be a big theme for next year . Professionals on Houzz are reporting a growing interest in high-end , second-hand furniture , which aligns with the interest in sustainability we ' ve seen on the platform .
