With home design constantly evolving, several key trends are influencing both new builds and renovations. One significant shift is the emphasis on maximizing natural light while maintaining the sense of privacy. Home owners are increasingly gravitating toward thinner window frames and larger glass panels, allowing light to flood into living spaces.

Another design trend is the resurgence of texture in both interior and exterior elements. Fluted and reeded textures have made a comeback, with homeowners embracing tactile surfaces that enhance visual appeal.

“We are dedicated to replicating textures and other accents in home design in our glass products, creating a seamless transition that complements exterior with interior décor,” shared Katie Sponseller, product designer at Novatech.

Deeper, darker hues are also emerging as popular choices for doors and exteriors. Complemented by the rising trend of black and matte gold hardware, these bold color choices add a touch of luxury and sophistication to entryways.

As one of the industry’s leading manufacturers of doors, doorglass and patio doors, Novatech is stepping into 2025 with innovative, cutting-edge designs that respond to these latest trends in home architecture. The collection’s 14 new doorglass products are designed to offer the perfect fusion of style, privacy, and functionality.

“Our goal has always been to stay ahead of the curve, delivering timeless yet trend-for- ward solutions,” said Sponseller. “The 2025 collection, as our largest new product launch to date, exemplifies this by blending aesthetics from the past with today’s modern lines to appeal to a larger demographic of home owners.”

Blending the Best of Both Worlds: Classic Meets Contemporary

Traditionally, doorglass products have been classified as either classic or contemporary. However, as design preferences evolve, Novatech is moving toward a more integrated approach, combining elements from both styles.

“Home owners today want doors that reflect their individuality,” says Sponseller. “We’ve responded by creating designs that honor timeless elegance while incorporating sleek, modern details. The best of the past designed with the elements of today.”
