The house is a [peaceful sanctuary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sanctum-house) away from the hustle and bustle of a big city and lets you relax in a perfectly tranquil environment. Created by design company [Future Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recess-2), the Light Stage House consists of all-white walls with classic wood floors. Featuring two storeys and an oval shape, the inside of the living space has curved walls and an abundance of natural light that makes the home feel cozy despite its minimalist aesthetic. The top floor acts as the family area while the terrace offers a lovely outdoor space to soak in the sun. Check out the Light Stage House to see what the meaning home sweet home really feels like. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Living:** Designing homes with a minimalist aesthetic and ample natural light creates a peaceful and cozy environment. - **Tranquil Escapes:** Creating sanctuaries that provide an escape from the hustle and bustle of city living offers a sense of serenity and relaxation. - **Curved Architecture:** Incorporating curved walls and unique architectural shapes in home design adds visual interest and a touch of modernity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Interior designers have the opportunity to create minimalist spaces that prioritize natural light and tranquility for their clients. - **Real Estate:** Real estate developers can tap into the demand for tranquil homes by incorporating minimalist designs and curved architecture into their properties. - **Sustainable Living:** The trend of minimalist, tranquil homes promotes sustainable and eco-friendly living, offering opportunities for green building and design practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Peaceful Wooden-Designed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiroo-residence.md) - [Minimal Japanese Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-kyobate.md) - [Tranquil Elevated Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zen-house.md) - [Tranquil Nature-Centric Cabin Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nortehaus.md) - [Compact White-Painted Modern Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whitepainted-modern-home.md) - [Tranquil Wabi-Sabi Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lagom.md) - [Refined Modern Dwellings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silver-house.md) - [Minimal Timber Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenhouse.md) - [Traditional Japan-Honoring Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c4l-house.md)
