New Data from Neville Johnson Highlights the Growing Demand for Multifunctional Spaces in Luxury Homes.
A new wave of flexible living is sweeping through UK homes as homeowners seek more from their interiors. According to Neville Johnson, the UK's leading bespoke furniture and staircase brand, orders for home studies have increased by 35% year-on-year, with a growing demand for multifunctional home design.
Living Smarter, Not Larger
As living spaces become more adaptable to modern life, luxury homeowners are shifting their focus from larger properties to more efficient, multifunctional interiors. With hybrid working now a permanent part of daily life and a greater desire for homes that support a variety of activities, multifunctional design has become a key trend in high-end living.
"The way we live and work has changed dramatically over the past few years," says Masha Willemse, R&D and Design Manager at Neville Johnson. "Our clients are looking for spaces that serve multiple purposes without compromising aesthetics. A home must function as a sanctuary, a workspace, and an entertainment hub all at once. The key is designing these spaces to look seamless, beautiful, and incredibly functional."

Bespoke furniture plays a significant role in this trend, with tailored storage and flexible designs that suit the needs of each home. Hidden desks, custom shelving, and partitioned spaces allow for smooth transitions between work, relaxation, and entertaining — all while maintaining the high-quality materials and craftsmanship that are a hallmark of luxury design.
The Demand for Multifunctional Interiors
The demand for multifunctional spaces is not just a passing trend — it represents a shift in how people approach interior design. Homeowners are no longer focused solely on square footage; they want spaces that serve a variety of functions, adapting to their evolving needs. Flexibility is key, whether it's a living room that transforms into a home office or a study nook that doubles as a place for reading and unwinding.
Recent data from Houzz reveals that 13% of UK homeowners are now renovating areas like kitchens to support activities beyond cooking — including work, play, and entertaining — a significant increase from previous years.
Neville Johnson exemplifies the art of designing multifunctional spaces, a standout example is their multifunctional dual home office (seen below), which integrates a living space and wellness area into a cohesive design. This innovative solution features Scandinavian-inspired Lungo doors finished in Chatsworth Oak, providing a calming and productive environment. The dual-level worktop in the peninsula unit combines functionality and elegance, offering a shared workspace that adapts to various needs.
