From huge spikes in people wanting to make their homes\nmore eco-friendly, to millennials being more likely than any other generation\nto tackle big DIY renovation jobs \u2013 if you\u2019re looking for inspiration\nfor a future project, or you\u2019re just curious to see which design features attract and repel the most buyers<\/a>, here are five things we think will be big in 2020.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Design and renovation trends 2020<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Open plan is evolving<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It seems more of us are starting to prefer the idea of having a separate lounge to our \u2018hub of the home\u2019 kitchen diners. Jobs that involve putting a wall back in, to create separate living spaces, are up 350% in 2020<\/strong> compared to 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, whether it\u2019s an adult-only zone to kick back and relax in when the kids have gone to bed, or it\u2019s a stylish room that blocks out the mess of everyday life, 2020 could be the year when open plan starts to evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Bold isn\u2019t always best for potential buyers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to selling your home, our research has surprisingly revealed some of the most on trend design features from the last few years could in fact make potential buyers less likely to purchase your property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you\u2019re dressing your home for sale it\u2019s probably best to avoid anything that\u2019s too personal as it could make it harder for buyers to see themselves living there. For expert advice on how you can quickly and easily tone down any of these features to maximise your home\u2019s value, see a range of expert tips here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

At the other end of the scale, these are the features that buyers look for the most when house hunting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, six of the top 15 are outside the home, with a lawned garden, security system, paved patio, outdoor lights, bifold doors and decking, all working to increase the number of potential buyers for a property. And, although some of the these might seem like bigger and more costly jobs to complete, there are clever and cost-effective ways to achieve similar looks for a fraction of the price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head to our cost guides<\/a> and tips section<\/a> to find out how to maximise your home\u2019s value with minimal effort. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Millennials are getting stuck into renovation to get onto the property ladder<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Millennials are planning the most and biggest renovation\njobs in 2020 compared with all other age groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, more 25-34 year old homeowners are planning home improvement work than any other generation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

They\u2019re also twice as likely as the average UK homeowner to tackle jobs themselves, like plastering, fitting a new kitchen, removing an internal wall and even building a driveway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared with just 20 years ago, it now takes the average adult an extra eight years to be able to buy their first home<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, one of the reasons for the renovation work could be that more millennials are finding cheaper properties in need of work to get onto the illusive property ladder – and rather than making do with woodchip wallpaper and questionable carpets, they\u2019re getting stuck into DIY to create the home of their dreams. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. More of us want to make our homes more eco-friendly <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Awareness of climate change and the damage that\u2019s being done to the environment is higher than ever in the UK. Many of us are already using less plastic, eating less meat, and recycling more, and now twice as many UK homeowners are planning to make their homes more eco-friendly<\/strong> in 2020 compared to 2019. And, with the Green Homes Grant<\/a> announced in July 2020, that number looks set to soar. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just homeowners who are focussing more on eco-friendly improvements either – 48% <\/strong>of tradespeople plan to introduce changes at work to become more eco-friendly in 2020. Common changes include upgrading to electric vehicles, recycling waste more efficiently, reusing old materials more, and moving towards using more conventional non-power reliant tools and machinery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Safety and security\nare front of mind when it comes to home improvements<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When looking at the jobs posted on Rated People that have\nseen the biggest spikes in popularity in the last three years, safety and\nsecurity appear to be increasingly important for UK homeowners, with three of\nthe top ten being around protecting our homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire alarm installation<\/strong> is the job that\u2019s seen the biggest spike in popularity \u2013 up by a massive 178%, CCTV<\/strong> installation isn\u2019t far behind with a 134% increase, and the installation of security gates <\/strong>and bollards is just inside the top 10 with a 72% increase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other jobs in the top 15 are to do with decoration<\/strong>, including decorative ironmongery and metalwork which has seen a huge 174% surge, and bathroom design<\/strong> which has increased by 69%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, pebble dashing<\/strong> has seen a 69% increase, as have pond and water features<\/strong>, with a 64% increase. Building flat pack furniture<\/strong> has also seen a spike in uptake, with an increase of 61% over the last three years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
