Are you a Sheffield homeowner? Here are the top five home improvement trends of 2023
As winter draws to a close, local glazing specialist Global Windows discusses the home improvement trends making a mark on the city this spring, and how you can upgrade your property.
- Sustainable living
As a double glazing expert, the first trend Global Windows has noticed across Sheffield is sustainable living. As people become more aware of the impact of their daily actions on the environment, many homeowners are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint.
In Sheffield, this trend has resulted in a surge of interest in sustainable building materials and energy-efficient home upgrades. Solar panels, smart home systems, and eco-friendly insulation are just a few of the ways homeowners are embracing sustainable living.
Investment in double glazing is also becoming popular, with more and more homeowners replacing their windows for more modern, more secure, and more energy efficient options – lowering their carbon footprint while also significantly reducing their energy bills.
- Statement colours
While traditional and neutral hues continue to be a top choice for windows and doors, there is an emerging trend towards bold, statement-making colours, particularly for front doors.
Pairing daring door colours with more subdued window hues can create a striking contrast that elevates your home's curb appeal. Anthracite grey remains a popular window colour due to its soft, natural tone that complements a wide range of other colours.
Expect to see an upsurge in warm reds and ocean blues for doors, along with earthy browns and greens that evoke a cosy, countryside feel. By incorporating these eye-catching hues, Sheffield homeowners can infuse their properties with personality and warmth, instantly putting guests at ease.
- Aluminium on the rise
A growing number of Sheffield homeowners are choosing aluminium for their windows and doors. This versatile material allows for sleek finishes with thinner frames, enabling more natural light to enter the property.
While black and anthracite grey remain popular colour choices for aluminium, customers have the option to fully customise their selection with any shade from the RAL colour chart, allowing for a perfect match to the existing colour scheme of the property, resulting in a luxurious and cohesive look.
- Open-plan living
Another trend in home improvement across Sheffield is open-plan living. Many homeowners are choosing to knock down walls and create open-plan living spaces, allowing for more natural light and a better flow of space. This trend is particularly popular in smaller homes, where creating a more spacious and functional living area is a top priority.
- Outdoor living spaces
Sheffield is known for its stunning green spaces, and many homeowners are looking to bring a little bit of that outdoor beauty into their homes. Outdoor living spaces, such as patios, decks, and gardens, are a popular trend in home improvement. These spaces allow homeowners to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine while still having all the comforts of home.
Whether you're looking to create a more sustainable home, a functional workspace, or a relaxing outdoor oasis, there are plenty of home improvement options available in this thriving city – and Global Windows is here to help.
