To simplify the process of designing your ideal home, we’re taking a look at the biggest trends that will become essential in 2025. Read on as we highlight the top three trends for 2025 and show how Swanbuild can incorporate them into your new home. ![solar panels on home](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/solar%20panels%20on%20home.jpg?width=630&height=473&name=solar%20panels%20on%20home.jpg) ##### *Image Credit: James Hardie* ##### Solar Panels Australia has one of the fastest-growing uptakes of rooftop solar panels in the world. Harnessing the power of the abundant Aussie sun is the best way to lower your power bills and reduce your energy consumption. For 2025, we anticipate delivering an even greater share of new homes with solar panels and sustainable features like batteries and double-glazed windows.

The increased flexibility of working arrangements means more and more new home buyers want to create dedicated workspaces in their new homes. Whether it is a full-sized office with storage and room for furniture and multiple computer setups or a discreetly designed study nook that the whole family can use, we will see a lot more office spaces in new homes in 2025. ##### Secondary Dwellings Another big trend we see for 2025 is the addition of secondary dwellings to existing properties. In some areas, you can build and install a small secondary dwelling without the need for council approval. The compact footprint and easy-to-maintain floor plans of secondary dwellings make them ideal for multi-generational living or small holiday rentals. Explore our newly released [Cottage Series](https://www.swanbuild.com.au/building-plans/?design_series=cottage-series) to see how Swanbuild has created a collection of secondary dwellings suited to every lifestyle and site.  If you want to know what other trends we can cater to in 2025, reach out to our team and book a [display home tour](https://homes.swanbuild.com.au/display-visit)or a [consultation](https://homes.swanbuild.com.au/consultation-request) to discuss what we can do for your new home.
