Condo Trends for 2016The Peterson Group Review Bespoke Condominiums and

Residences

Now that we are starting well in 2016, the first thing that comes into mind is the new trends that would define the basics of condo living for those who would be re-designing or starting a condo life this year of the monkey.

The Peterson Group Bespoke Condo-minium and Residences, expert in pro-viding luxury condominiums and resi-dences in Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Jakarta, Indonesia has prepared the list of possible trends that would surely mark 2018 all over your condo unit.

1. Room Definition is Back

Open room concept has dom-inated most designs in the last decade.

Large, open living/dining/kitchen areas have all but become the norm now, both in new residential construc-tion and remodels — and as with anything that becomes normalized, it begs to be reinvented yet again.

2016’s desired floor plans will involve more walls, es-pecially when it comes to kitchens and dining areas. For those with prewar apartments: hang tight, be-cause your smaller rooms will feel fresh again soon.

2. Minerals Are In

While polished minerals are a bit polished looking, this year, it can become more natural looking.

Homes will be filled with jaded plates and bowls and big chunks of quarts will soon be displayed on di-viders. Unpolished semi-pre-cious stones turned into door pulls.

3. Pastels Will be Used in Kitchen

When dark and gloomy kitchen were the luxury em-blem, pastel colors inciting comfort and easing pressure are the new in.

According to Rose Quarts re-view, one of the most renowned designers in Sin-gapore, the dreamy trend is set to skyrocket.

The new kitchen pastels are quiet, calm and contempla-tive, not saccharine. Mid-tone greys will have a big place at 2016’s kitchen table as well, providing relief from past years’ moody darks and clini-cal whites.

4. Short Hung Lighting Fixtures Helps the Room Look Big

Since division of rooms is set to re-establish its glory, condo rooms may appear smaller.

It is vital to create a larger im-pression of the room. With the help of short hung chandeliers or even internally installed lighting, bigger room perspec-tive can be highly achievable. It can also make the ceilings look taller.

5.Zen Themes are Emerg-ing

The greatest complaint of condo owners nowadays is stress and pressure from the workplace.

Designers are continuously doing extreme with the in-troduction of Zen inspired themes integrated in mod-ern homes. In 2016, relax-ation is possible with this comfortable setting.
