Experts and top designers have predicted where home design and renovation trends are headed in 2022. Here are some ideas to take into the new year, whether you’re about to build your dream home or make some renovations.
Home office
The home office setup will still be as important as ever. If you haven’t created a dedicated space to working from home yet, this year could be it. Once unused rooms such as secondary living spaces can be transformed into custom office spaces. If you already have an existing home office, consider upgrades such as built-ins, smart boards and projectors.
Enhanced outdoor spaces
Bringing the outdoors in will be valuable to any homeowner, especially for Queenslanders who get to enjoy the sunny climate all year round. Design experts predict pools, water features, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and extensive seating and dining areas are high on renovation wish lists. There have been major advances in outdoor materials in recent years, allowing property owners to incorporate outdoor seating and decor. Your builder can install an outdoor fireplace, maybe a TV, and the line between indoors and out disappears.
Technology
We’re all on our phones, tablets, and computers more than we’d like to admit. We use our devices for entertainment, work, for school, video conferencing, and even to make our homes smarter. Pop-up and ultra fast outlets built into the home allow faster charging and a sleeker appearance due to no longer needing an adapter.
Sustainability
Reusing furniture, pursuing materials that support the environment, promote recycling, and hold meaning will be popular this year. Also, natural materials like wood, rattan, clay, and stone will be trendy as they pair perfectly with any style, color or material.
Durability
Durability
Homeowners are expecting greater performance from surfaces in their homes, meaning they need to stand up to extra scrubbing.There will be a rise in demand for acrylic solid surfaces that are seamless and offer durability with no additional maintenance, yet don’t compromise on sleek, beautiful design.
