Homeowners are embracing sleek exteriors, innovative kitchen solutions, and seamless indoor-outdoor integration to create homes that feel both modern and inviting. From striking exterior finishes to cleverly concealed storage solutions, here are the top five trends shaping the future of modular home design.
Dark exterior cladding is having a moment, and for good reason. The sleek, modern aesthetic of Colorbond Monument is by far the most requested shade among our clients, giving homes a contemporary edge that suits all facades.
Whether paired with natural timber accents for warmth or crisp white trims for contrast, dark cladding enhances curb appeal and offers long-term durability. At Anchor Homes, we offer a wide range of exterior cladding options—both standard and upgrade selections—that allow clients to incorporate this popular colour choice with ease.
A simple design shift can make a big impact, and curved kitchen islands are proof of that. This upgrade has become a popular request among our clients who want to soften their kitchen’s look while maintaining a high-end feel.
The gentle curve adds an organic flow to the space and creates a welcoming hub for cooking and entertaining. When you attend your colour and specifications appointment with our interior designer, this is one of the many options available to elevate your kitchen design.

Minimalist kitchens are here to stay, but that doesn’t mean sacrificing functionality. More and more clients are requesting 'hidden' butler’s pantries, where the door to the space seamlessly blends with the surrounding cabinetry.
The result? A clean, uninterrupted look that keeps appliances and prep areas out of sight while maintaining a sleek aesthetic. Since all of our designs can be customised, we work closely with clients to integrate this feature into their floorplans for a kitchen that balances style and practicality.
If you check out the photo of our Rye Project (Custom) above and its floorplan below, you’ll spot this feature seamlessly incorporated. The hidden door enhances the sleek design while keeping the space functional—an exciting touch for a modern kitchen.
Outdoor spaces are becoming just as important as interiors, and pergolas are a standout addition that bring both style and function. Open-air and timber-slat pergolas add a modern touch while offering partial shade and structure to outdoor areas.
Many of our clients love adding climbing plants to their pergolas as part of their landscaping, creating a lush and inviting atmosphere. As an upgrade, this feature can be incorporated into your home’s design and built to complement your overall aesthetic.
One of the most striking design trends we’re seeing is integrated garage doors, where the cladding flows seamlessly over the garage for an uninterrupted exterior. This sleek look makes the garage door nearly invisible, enhancing the overall facade. Since all of our garages are constructed on-site, our team can can construct this feature once the home has been delivered, allowing the cladding to be perfectly aligned for a flawless finish.
At Anchor Homes, we make it easy to bring these design trends to life in your modular home. With our expertise and customisation options, you can create a space that’s both stylish and functional—tailored to suit your vision.
