It's a new year, and with the new year comes a slew of new design trends. Many of the top 2022 design trends focus on creating a peaceful space that helps homeowners feel emotionally and physically at ease. Here are some of the 2022 design trends
our real estate agents expect to see.
1. Green as a Neutral Color
We don't commonly think of green as a neutral color, but when you select the right hue, green functions fantastically as a neutral shade. The reasoning behind this trend is that green is one of the colors that you predominantly see in nature, creating a stunning backdrop for all of nature's picturesque landscapes. When you're preparing your home to add to the list of
Lewisburg homes for sale, opting for neutral paint colors helps your home appeal to as many potential buyers as possible, regardless of their preferred style or aesthetic. Look for a dark olive or sage shade when using green as a neutral hue. These colors are peaceful and relaxing, compliment a variety of other shades, and create a terrific backdrop for bolder prints and patterns.
2. Curved or Sculpted Furniture
Expect to see a lot of furniture with soft angles and sculpted shapes. The subconscious interprets a softer shape as friendly and inviting. Adding curved furniture to a room instantly creates a more welcoming space where you look forward to spending time. This impact is achieved even when you only add a piece or two to a room.
3. Tactile Accessories
Rugs, lamps, throws, and decorative pillows will boast textured surfaces that instantly add more depth to a room. Whether the accessory is a solid shade or features a fun pattern, the surface will have a texture that lends a touch of stylish fun to the room.
4. Dual Purpose Rooms
It's a misconception that rooms must have one specific purpose. The current trend is for rooms to satisfy the need for multiple spaces and home nooks. For example, a bedroom isn't just for sleeping. It might serve as a sleeping space, craft nook, and home gym. Living rooms and dens aren't just for watching TV and gathering with friends and family; they're also excellent spaces to set up a workspace or a play area for your kids. The kitchen table is ideal for working or video conferencing. Adding a desk to a guest room quickly turns it into an office space. Partitions are a popular addition to further segment a portion of a room and even add a bit of privacy to that space.
5. High-Tech Spaces
Homeowners are continuing to learn how a few high-tech pieces create convenient, futuristic spaces that make their lives a little easier. Expect to see more smart devices that you can control with your smart speaker or mobile app. Some smart devices that will populate more homes in 2022 include thermostats, humidifiers, lights, video doorbells, plugs, and door locks.
6. Sustainable Pieces
Pieces that are produced using environmentally friendly methods will continue to be popular with homeowners. Consumers have indicated that they're willing to pay a little more for a piece that they know has been produced with ethical methods that minimize the product's carbon footprint. Designers are responding accordingly by expanding their sustainable offerings.
