Hot Home Design Trends for 2022

Whether you are looking to spruce up your home for your enjoyment or to add value for a prospective sale, staying on top of current design trends will help your home feel thoroughly modern and will keep you at the top of the real estate game. According to design experts, in terms of home design, 2022 trends will be a representation of the changing priorities for Americans in terms of their living space as a result of pandemic-era circumstances. So many of us are living and working differently than ever before, and most homeowners are looking for their homes to accommodate their need for work, leisure, and relaxation through functional and aesthetically pleasing means.

One of the biggest trends for 2022 is creating multifunctional spaces throughout your home. Gone are the days when a kitchen was just for cooking, or wanting a formal dining room that you only use occasionally. With more people working from home, properties that can offer work spaces will be key in 2022. A guest bedroom or a nook in the living room that can easily transform into an office will be highly desired this year, particularly with a nice background for Zoom calls during work hours.  Any area that can be used as a flex space, perhaps for a relaxation area or workout space, is what people are looking for as well. Living rooms with built-ins for books or desks is another hot trend this year, as is having a second kitchen island to increase multi use functionality in one of the most highly occupied rooms in the house.

The greatest priority for many homebuyers today is outdoor space. A top trend for home design in 2022 will be bringing nature indoors. Adding floor to ceiling windows to capitalize on nature views will be hugely popular this year so that homeowners can feel like they are outside from anywhere in the home. Garden rooms will also be very popular, bringing nature to every part of the living experience, with plants being a top design feature found in homes. The trendiest paint color will definitely be green, with the three top paint brands - Behr, Sherwin-Williams, and Benjamin Moore - all choosing different shades of green as their picks for 2022 Color of the Year. More and more, the trends are pointing to nature being the main inspiration for home design this year.

With Americans spending more time at home than ever, home design trends will reflect a more personal, warm style in 2022. Homeowners want to feel relaxed in their own space, so inviting textures and patterns - such as herringbone, textured walls, and black accents - will be popular as Americans are seeking a warm, comfortable living experience.
