Custom Home Building Trends of 2022

January 4, 2022

With a new year comes a fresh start. The turn of the calendar also welcomes change, particularly for your home. When reinventing your abode, you want a concept that feels stylish and functional. Sustainable features are also a beneficial addition to your living space.


Whether you're looking to spruce up your layout or have a custom home built, one thing's for sure: you want a house that looks good. So, to help you map out a plan and design concept, here is a rundown of the custom home trends for 2022.


Interconnected Indoor-Outdoor Areas


Installing movable doors or walls creates a seamless flow of space between your indoor and outdoor spaces. The partitions can connect your kitchen or dining area to your courtyard or pool deck. The structural addition provides more room for entertaining guests and improves the amount of natural light in your interiors.


Curved Design Features


Put straight symmetry on the back burner as curved designs are the hot trend this year. You can opt for arched entries and windows and barrel-vaulted ceilings to add a soft aesthetic to your interiors. Look for rounded furniture like sofas and tables to complement your curved layout. Curved walkways and rounded planters fit the trend nicely for your outdoor landscape.


Functional Home Offices


Working at home for the past two years has made people comfortable turning any room into a workspace. Creating a home office is a trend that'll give you a distinct space for your work. Instead of typing on your laptop in front of kitchen clutter, wouldn't it be better to do your nine-to-five tasks in a proper workroom? Backyard ADUs often serve as a home office to help you focus and be more productive.


Infusing Nature-Inspired Elements


Make your home an eco-friendly space by choosing natural elements for construction and design. Green materials like wood, stone, brick, and repurposed wood flooring provide a sturdy structure for your home. You can also adorn your interiors with natural pieces like rattan, jute furniture, and ceramic decor.


Living Green Walls


If you have interior space with ample natural light and an airy atmosphere, you can set up a living green wall in your home. Not only is the plant installation decorative, but it also provides better air quality and improved acoustics. Make sure to choose flora that will thrive within your space. You can invest in a self-watering system for lower maintenance, but schedule a regular watering routine if you have plants in nursery pots.
