For the Canadian elite customizing a dream home this year, GBC Design & Build has been keeping a keen eye on the top home building trends. From open concept dining to in-home theatres, and exteriors sure to draw the eye – we’ve got the inside scoop on new home construction trends across the country.
Looking for some inspiration for your modern house plans? Here are the top 4 trends for 2021.
1. Multipurpose Meets Open Concept Architectural Design Trends
Open concept is not a new idea in Canadian custom home design. However, the latest trend to excite home builders is open concept multi-purpose spaces.
These large, open, airy rooms are designed for use in multiple ways. Posing as a dining area, blending into a game room, with a cozy sitting room extension is the perfect fix for a smaller home, without sacrificing style or vision.
Some classic combinations for your open concept renovations include:
- Subtle textures
- Shades of white and cream
- Limestone
- Gold accents
- Natural light enhancement
- High ceilings
- Natural wood
- Bright accent décor pieces
New home colour trends for open concept areas maintain pale, light tones to grant the illusion of larger spaces. Exposed wood beams and high ceilings add character and grandeur to any multipurpose space.
2. Outdoor Enclosures for Year-Round Use Makes List of Outdoor Living Trends 2021
As far as trends in custom homes go, we can’t forget exterior home design trends, which have been making a huge comeback since the end of 2019. At GBC Design & Build, we prefer to focus less on traditional outdoor features like decks and fences and opt for opulence and practicality instead.
Outdoor glass enclosures are becoming a hot ticket item for custom home designs. This lets you enjoy your outdoor area in the sun, rain or snow. Extensions to the glass enclosure let you take the party fully outside when weather permits, but avoid bugs and the elements when necessary.
3. New Home Trends Ask for A Kitchen to Live In
Gone are the tucked away, tiny kitchens of the past. Modern home building trends are making the kitchen the star of it all. So much goes on in a family kitchen, from breakfasts to baking parties. Why not make the heart of your home, a space worth coveting?
Hot 2021 kitchen trends for custom luxury builds include:
- Quartz counters and backsplash
- Warm tones
- Floor to ceiling cabinet wall
- Wood islands
- Multi-tiered surfaces
- Plants and dried herbs
- Walk-in pantry
- Connected wine cellar
The kitchen is also one of the rooms highlighting the lighting trends in new homes this year. The kitchen is a room that needs to breathe. From skylight windows to enclosed lighting features, this is the time to explore colour and light in the kitchen.

- Concealed lighting
