1. Open-plan living
“Open plan living has been a consistently popular layout in Australian homes, along with the emerging trend of two separate living areas,” says Craig. “The separate areas cater to growing families and will typically consist of a media room with a television and a separate lounge room or a sitting room that is separate.”
2. White walls
“Style trends tend to change and adapt over time, usually every few years, and so there hasn’t really been a trend that has remained the same over the past 40 years. However, the most dominating trend since 1979 would be paint colour,” says Craig. “Walls and ceilings of homes have almost always been painted a crisp white. This is usually to give clients a blank canvas on which to change their home with the trends, such as updated kitchen cupboards and benchtops.”
3 & 4. Stone benchtops and timber floors
“Two popular features that have been requested over the past 40 years are stone benchtops and timber floors. Stone benchtops are hard wearing and low maintenance and timber floors are durable and effortlessly stylish.”
