Top House Trends for 2022

March 2020 changed the work landscape dramatically with the realization that physically being at the office full-time isn’t necessary to produce great results. As of 2022, there is no real return-to-office date anymore. For companies who have since become permanently or partially remote, employee homes will continue to fill the role of both living and working spaces. This has influenced the way people utilize the space in their homes on a day-to-day basis.

To create a home that promotes both productivity and relaxation, many homeowners are revamping their spaces. Below are the top house trends to consider for your own makeover.

Custom Closets

Are you planning to get more organized in 2022? This is a great resolution to have, as organization decreases stress, improves productivity and helps you sleep better.

One of the best ways to get organized is by investing in a custom closet. These custom storage solutions are built to your exact needs, optimizing every inch of space you have. Custom closets can also amplify small spaces and provide space-saving options for the utmost efficiency.

Grand Staircase with Iron Banisters

Set the tone of your space with a new grand staircase. With the right modifications, you can turn your ordinary staircase into the focal point of your main floor.

Many homeowners are choosing to remove the carpet from their stairs, as this gets worn down and matted anyway. Then, they convert the stairs into hardwood with a beautiful wrought iron banister.

Organized Mudrooms

Remember how we’re getting organized in 2022? Well, mudrooms are often a busy family’s answer to a messy, unorganized entryway. Mudrooms provide storage and organization for coats, hats, shoes, backpacks, etc. They help contain dirt and clutter and they can be used for other purposes such as laundry, pet food bowls, chore boards and more.

Doors and Windows with Large Glass

Because people are spending more time at home, there’s been an increasing desire to bring the outdoors in. One of the best ways to do this is with large windows and exterior doors such as floor-to-ceiling windows and moving glass wall systems. People love the natural light, beautiful scenery and connection to the great outdoors.

Flexible Home Offices

With many people working from home, at least some of the time, flexible workspaces are not going away any time soon. These spaces can also be used for homework, Zoom meetings and remote learning.

Some people are lucky enough to have a dedicated office in their home, but many have to create a productive workspace in their living room, family room, or extra bedroom. Regardless of the setup you have, you can create a space that supports your work-life balance with the proper wall storage, cabinetry and shelving.

Home Trends that are Here to Stay

Ultimately, all five of these design trends mentioned are only going to grow in popularity. Why do you ask?  Because of consumer demand. Now more than ever, we are spending ample amounts of time in our homes and have learned the importance of living in a clean, functional space. Not only will these upgrades make your home look great, but also make it easier to stay organized and productive around the home. To discuss your next home project for 2022, contact Woodhaven today.
