1. Earthy Tones: Neutral colours have always been popular in show home design, but this year, we're seeing increased use of earthy tones such as terracotta, rust, and forest green. These colours evoke a sense of calm and bring a touch of nature into the home.

2. Biophilic Design: Biophilic design is about bringing the outdoors inside. This trend incorporates natural elements such as plants, natural light, and water features into the home to create a sense of tranquillity and well-being.

3. Maximalism v Minimalism: While minimalism has been popular for some time,  from a show home perspective, the shift to 'maximalism' is best avoided. While it may be on-trend for homeowners, the use of bold prints, bright colours, and eclectic decor alienates potential buyers. Stick to minimalism!

4. Smart Home Technology: Home automation is becoming increasingly popular, and incorporating smart home technology into your show home can appeal to tech-savvy buyers. Features such as voice-activated assistants, automated lighting, and climate control systems can make life easier for homeowners.

5. Sustainable Design: More and more buyers are looking for sustainable homes, and show homes are no exception. Sustainable design features such as energy-efficient appliances, renewable energy sources, and recycled materials can make your show home stand out.

You can create a stylish and functional space by incorporating these design trends into your show home projects. Remember, the goal of a show home is to inspire potential buyers and make them fall in love with the property. By staying up-to-date with the latest design trends, you can create a show home that appeals to many buyers and helps sell your development faster.
