A growing number of Australians is turning its back on the houses of cookie cutter, with a new investigation that reveals a dramatic change towards calm spaces of sanctuary style and two design trends that lead the load.
The figures of the modern houses of James Hardie predict 2025 show the barn -style constructions and the interiors inspired by Japanese are quickly becoming the best elections for builders of houses and renovators, since families rethink what they want from their living spaces.
Block architect Julian Branchley said the Australians focused more and more on simplicity, serenity and space, and moved away from too decorative exteriors.
“People want value and want volume. The barn shape gives it that,” Bankley said.
“It is a really intelligent way, the builders understand it, it works well in tight blocks and you end with beautiful open volumes that feel calm and expansive.
“And it doesn’t cost a fortune to achieve.”

The winners of block 2023, Steph and Gian Ottavio said that the desire of houses that feel they retired in the last year, and that Japandi represented more than a look.
“Japandi is not just a design trend,” Mrs. Ottavio said.
“It’s about creating a space that slows you down.
“We are seeing more people getting away from fashions and focusing on how a home makes them feel.”
The couple recently completed a Japandi -style house in collaboration with James Hardie, which incorporates wood, earthly tones, internal courtyards and layer lining profiles to create a sensation of stillness and warmth.
Mr. Ottavio said that Melbourne’s most intrusive design style made it the perfect adjustment for Japandi -inspired constructions.
“In Sydney, it’s about opinion,” said Ottavio.
“But in Melbourne, it’s about how the house feels inside, and that is where Japandi happened.”
The Ottavios said that intentional design has a direct impact on people live and sensation.
“When each space in the home has a purpose, it changes its entire perspective,” said Mrs. Ottavio.
“We are designing how you feel at 7 am, or after a long day, not only how the house looks in a brochure.”
His observations are backed by hardly trends data, which shows that well -being, flexibility and construction efficiency are now the main priorities for Australians who design or renew a home, with the most considered and intentional aesthetics.
The prognosis describes eight key styles that are expected to shape the future of suburban Australia, including the modern, modern, modern, modern coastal box and from the middle of the modern century with barn and Japandi leading early adoption.
According to Mr. Branchley, the change in sanctuary style is already underway.
“More customers request multipurpes, natural materials and internal patios,” he said.
“They are less concerned with front facades and more focused on acoustic comfort, thermal performance and zoning of everyday life. The home is becoming a retreat.”
The block architect added that the new wave of “no beige” houses would be more appropriate for modern lifestyle demands, including hybrid work, multigenerational life and the most time they spend at home.
“The beige box is over,” Bankley said.
“What comes next is personal, practical and peaceful, and will remodel our suburbs.”
