A healthy home goes beyond just physical wellbeing; it’s about creating spaces that nurture and foster rest and rejuvenation. According to the America at Home Study, health and wellness is the #1 driver of home-related investment. Builders and homeowners alike utilize windows and doors to help improve overall health and wellbeing through access to natural light and fresh air, while helping create a home prioritized for the activities, hobbies, and wellness that bring them joy.

A home is an investment in your community and future. As noted in the FEMA’s National Preparedness Report, 92% of Americans identify at least one natural hazard associated with climate change impacting their communities today. Within this rising trend, many builders and homeowners are turning to resilient home design to protect their investments. A resilient home, also known as a hardened home, is one which can withstand extreme weather events. The focus of this trend includes building or renovating with quality, durable, weather-resistant materials including high-performance windows and doors. In chapter two of this year’s report, you can find out how Pella tests product designs to meet extreme weather conditions and see a home not compromising design or light while preparing for their unique climate conditions.

The next major trend focuses on the design details that reflect both an individual and their home. Homeowners are customizing their spaces by making decisions based on what is most important to them and what adds unique character. Window and door designs can be used to infuse style and function directly into a room.

Indoor-outdoor spaces continue to inspire homeowners to think beyond their four walls. According to the Remodeling Impact Report: Outdoor Features reports a 55% YOY increase in project demand for new patios. Homeowners who value a connection to the outdoors are connecting designs between the interior and exterior of a home to make their spaces feel inviting and entertaining a breeze. Whether it is hosting dinners or pool parties, intentional placement of pass through windows and large doors can make friends and family feel at home.

No matter if you are building a home or reimagining a space, all these design trends are within reach. Download our design trends report above to learn more about each of these topics.
