Americans are spending more than ever on their homes, so it’s no surprise that these buildings are becoming more economical, sustainable, and comfortable in 2022.
As we move into more renovations of single family homes, we expect to see an increase in the following trends:
Moving the Inside Out…
After spending much of the last two years inside, many people are moving the comforts of their living spaces into their backyards. High end pools, outdoor televisions, built-in projectors, and outdoor fireplaces are all becoming popular features for families to enjoy year round.
… And the Outside In
When homeowners do have to be inside, they’re bringing the outdoors with them. There has been an upswing in “biophilic design”, with an increase of organic materials, light and airy spaces, plants, and other elements that focus on nature.
Sustainability
With climate change coming to the forefront, eco-friendly building elements are on the rise. These include natural materials like brick and stone for home exteriors, and drought resistant landscaping in front and back yards. Metal roofs are also gaining popularity, as they can last 40-70 years and come in a wide variety of colors and styles. More than just being fashionable, sustainable materials like these have been shown to decrease homeowners’ costs, as they tend to require less maintenance and reduce the cost of utilities.
Love Your Curves
Gone are the days of straight lines. Whether inside or outside, expect to see a transition towards curved edges. These can come in the form of arched door and window frames, barrel vaulted ceilings, or curving walkways. No matter where you find these curves, they’ll be sure to help homeowners show off their unique personalities and provide a warm, welcoming space.
Spice in the Kitchen
They say the kitchen is the heart of the home, so it’s no surprise that we are seeing sweeping changes in kitchen design. Minimalist, mostly white kitchens are being dropped in favor of warm, colorful cabinets, counters with a splash of color made of alternative materials, and patterned floors that celebrate and welcome all who enter.
Home Sweet Office
Working from your bed or couch is a thing of the past. As more people leave the corporate office behind, home offices are becoming an integral part of every house. For new construction, this can mean more rooms or set-aside office spaces. During renovations, rooms are transformed to be multifunctional, often combining the office with a guest room or part of the kitchen.
