New Home Trends in 2022
If you are working with a custom home designer to build or renovate a home this year, checking out current home trends is a great way to get ideas. There are so many small details that go into the construction, design, and decorating of a new home. You will want to research many different options and compare the different options to find out exactly what you like.
Some homeowners approach a home build or renovation already knowing exactly what they like and what they want. But this isn’t the case for everyone. Some people find it very difficult to pinpoint the style and aesthetic they want. Working with a custom home builder can be helpful. This quick guide will introduce you to just a few of the design elements that are trending in 2022.
Bold Black
Not that it ever really went away, but 2022 is proving to be a good year for the color black. When designing a home, you should be careful how you use darker colors, but when used effectively, black can be a powerful tool in your designer toolbox.
A new way black is being used this year is on interior and exterior window frames. Framing in black around front doors is also growing in popularity. Some homeowners are even taking the bold step of adding black accent walls to rooms. These are really spectacular when paired with a white-framed photo gallery.
Other places to use black include appliances, plumbing fixtures, and lighting.
Durable Metal Roofing
Obviously, metal roofs have been around for decades, but after a lull in metal roofing’s popularity, this durable roof material is making a comeback. Homeowners are choosing metal roofing due to its quaint appearance and durability. If you are after the popular farmhouse look, metal roofs work great on new homes as well as older renovated homes.
Awesome Outdoor Spaces
As families try to find more and more ways to save money, the focus is now on staying home to have fun. Creating or renovating an outdoor living space is the perfect way to invest in your family’s future fun. Outdoor living spaces are versatile and handy. Not only will your outdoor living space provide a great place to spend time as a family, but it can also provide a great space for events such as parties, reunions, and even weddings. Talk about saving money. There are so many great ways you can use a well-appointed outdoor living space.
Adorable Shiplap
Let’s face it. Shiplap is here to stay. What once seemed like a TV home improvement show fad, has become an essential type of wall treatment. Shiplap is a great way to cover up damaged walls while also adding style. If you are renovating an older home that has ugly paneling, wallpaper, or damage, shiplap instantly transforms walls and adds style.
Abundant Window Banks
The dark, cozy dens of our grandparents’ homes are a thing of the past. Today, homeowners want light, lots of light. Installing abundant window banks makes it easy to suddenly transform a tiny, dark space into open, inviting areas.
