Home Design Trends Survey

Special Function Rooms Increasing in Popularity

 

According to the American Institute of Architects's home design trends survey for second quarter 2011, some special function rooms, such as home offices, outdoor living areas, and inlaw suites have seen increased popularity over the past year. 

Some other special function rooms have shown declines in interest from 2010 to 2011, including interior greenhouses, pet rooms/interior kennels, and storm rooms/safe rooms.

AIA's survey shows these special function rooms as having an increasing interest level in 2011:

  • Hobby/game room
  • In law suites
  • Mud room
  • Home office
  • Outdoor living

I would imagine that in-law suites are gaining popularity as many people are helping aging parents by having them move in with them, and so many more people tele-commute these days that home offices are becoming "must haves". With the economy the way it is, more people are spending more time at home, so game rooms and back yards are being used much more frequently. Good information!
