Bold and Dramatic
“A new year means new trends and we are seeing the personality of many homeowners translate into their design styles. People are leaving safe and simple behind in 2021 and moving into a bolder more dramatic 2022. The resurgence of deep color tones and more exotic patterns in 2022 is going to razzle and dazzle. People want that pop when they enter a room. They want to welcome people back into their homes with a wow factor. Whether it be a foyer accent wall, full backsplash show stopper or a flavorful bathroom accent wall, it is clear that people are trending toward elegant and exciting designs. Bottom line, in 2022, people are letting their personalities shine through their aesthetic visions.”

Better than Builder’s Grade
“Many clients ask about new emerging trends for 2022. This question has different answers depending on an overall budget consideration, as well as intended length of time you expect to be in your home. Naturally, most everyone wants to include high-level design and function from any inspiration seen in magazine portfolios or kitchen and bath design websites. Without hesitation, I can tell you that more clients remove the builder’s grade materials and upgrade to larger, walk-in, barrier-free, multifunction showers. Gone are the large builder’s grade Jacuzzi tubs.”

Natural Elements
“Looking ahead to emerging trends for the new year, eco-friendly materials and design considerations will champion 2022, as people are seeing the advantages of integrating energy-efficient products into their homes. Now, there’s even more of a focus on sustainability and bringing the outside ‘in.’ With natural and engineered stone countertops serving as focal points, the trend is slated to manifest itself in color, accents and features. Reclaimed, recycled and ethically sourced materials, along with natural elements like plants and grasses, are gaining momentum thanks to a widespread sustainability movement crossing into the home buying market. Time spent at home during the pandemic means there’s a need to feel even more connected to nature to reduce stress and anxiety. … With this in mind, kitchen and bathroom features will be considered on both an aesthetic and ecological basis.”
