How trends in luxury real estate have changed over the years

If we look at luxury properties over the years we will see a clear change in their trends.

A very clear parallel can be drawn between the end of the last century and the way luxury properties are designed and built today. This is influenced by a number of areas, and in modern times it relies on sustainability and environmentally friendly lifestyle. Well, at least in most cases.

This blog article will look at the biggest differences and changes in trends in terms of luxury properties (in Sofia and the big cities) over the years.

If you run an old movie from the 80s or 90s will impress inevitable linking of luxury with frippery - large and big leather chairs, heavy colors, the accumulation of all unnecessary things in the interior just to create a sense of more scale and saturation.

It is as if this thing has evaporated over the years and we come to the present moment, when there are clean lines and following the rule "Less is more". In realization of the most luxurious properties see that minimalism prevails and rare swank interiors. . . Maybe when it comes to renovating an old luxury mansion, things would look different, but even the richest and most famous people in the world now prefer to be surrounded by fewer things.

The concept of sustainability also lies very strongly in the construction of modern luxury properties. Of course, no one talks about saving money, but it's interesting to see how things like environmental certificates of origin, for example, affect the industry.  You can see the life cycle of wood, which often is taken from one place to another use. And although the latter example is not particularly appropriate for luxury properties, we must say that the trend of sustainability and care for nature is here to stay.

We talked about minimalist solutions above. It is interesting that they have already implemented primarily in a combination of metal and wood. While the interior of the 90s was necessarily leather, now things are different and this is almost untapped element in the furnishing of a luxury house or apartment.  Here, things more or less have an image note, because a lot of public figures have spoken out against the use of skins, and if someone is revealed with such an interior, he will face very severe public criticism.

Optimal use of resources is also one of the new trends - while before it was not thought about how to minimize the effect on nature, now it is on the agenda. We can see a number of places with green roofs and walls, buildings designed to capture air currents and not to use air conditioners very much and of course - windows and windows that allow maximum sunshine during the day. Most luxury properties such as houses or penthouses are characterized by the capture and use of sunlight through photovoltaic panels or solar water heaters. This drastically reduces the amount of overhead costs and at the same time is beneficial to nature

The concept of luxury properties includes many other factors, such as the location of the home, infrastructure, surrounding buildings and the lifestyle of the owners, the presence of nearby shops, hypermarkets, schools and kindergartens, etc.

In addition, the concept of luxury property is still subjective and can be viewed from different points of view.
