Home design trends in Saudi Arabia

Saudi homes are changing as families look for comfort, privacy and lower running costs. These are the requests we hear most on new builds and renovations.

Trends we see

• A flexible majlis that opens onto the family living room for everyday use.

• Shaded courtyards and deep window reveals inspired by Najdi architecture.

• Better insulation, low-E glazing and zoned air conditioning to cut summer bills.

• Solar panels and smart meters, encouraged by the Saudi Building Code.

• Natural stone, warm wood and earth-toned plaster instead of high-gloss finishes.

Our advice

Decide early which trends serve how you live. A good design is one you will still enjoy in fifteen years, not only on the day you move in.
