What is today's architectural style called?

Art Deco, Victorian, Brutalist, Modernist, Post-Modern -- all of these architectural designs bring to mind a specific era. Today's styles don't seem to be so clearly defined, but this could just be because we're living through it. Is there a name for the architectural style that produces homes that look "very 2000-2021"?

  1. Today's architectural style is called contemporary architecture.


    Life in quarantine has really allowed us to take a step back and reevaluate our homes from a new perspective. 
    Here are five home trends to watch in the new year.

    1.     A laid-back lifestyle combining classical and modern design elements will transform any space with a new and fresh look as we seek to bring the outdoors inside and become one with Earth’s raw materials.

    2. Natural elements Sherwin-Williams’ 2021 Color of the Year is Urbane Bronze, a color welcomed by designers and home stagers because of its natural earth-tone palettes.

    3. Decorative lighting Unique and artful lighting is stealing the scene in living rooms, dining areas, and even in the bedroom.


    4. Accent walls Wood-paneled accent walls in the living or dining areas are making a comeback in chic and modern ways.

    5. Flex spaces Families are rethinking the purpose of rooms and transforming them into multifunctional spaces. Flexible spaces are being given a true purpose as the trend of remote work continues in 2021. Also, more open floorplans are calling for sliding doors and partitions to separate work from play in our homes.
