When it comes to our homes, more homeowners want to create escape-worthy spaces that are not only uplifting but conducive to our health and wellbeing. We also rely on trustworthy businesses like the members of Home Artisans to stay up to date on the latest industry trends.

2022 home industry trends reflect a desire for design that captures energy and optimism, elevating our mood, and aesthetic, for the year ahead.

TOP 2022 HOME INDUSTRY TRENDS

1. OUTDOOR LIVING

Another home industry trend that’s carrying over from 2021 is the focus on luxe outdoor spaces. More homeowners want these “rooms” to feel like extensions of their indoor living areas. Today’s outdoor kitchens feature commercial-grade ranges and grills, refrigerators, wet bars, wine coolers, and more.

Touches such as discrete speakers and television screens further blur the lines between indoors and out. Add a firepit, fireplace, or efficient heating system, and you have an ideal year round experience.

2. THE HOME OFFICE: STILL ON OUR MIND

The past few years have brought a marked drive towards enhanced home office spaces. One of the spaces that people are turning to more in 2022 is their closets. The “cloffice” transforms a closet, cupboard, nook, or corner into a fully functional office – and the results can be stunning! California Closets, long-time Home Artisans member, can help you revamp your walk-in or home office. Their professional designers can assist you in adding plenty of built-in shelves, drawers, and organizational systems allowing you to work and/or show off your collection of couture, shoes, bags, and beauty products.

3. EMBRACING THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL

Homeowners are embracing bold design again, eschewing muted colors for bright, happy hues that bring joy to a space.

Design thought leaders expect to see everything from peacock blue and citrus green to burnt orange and tropical inspired pinks. Also putting a smile on more people’s faces: wallpaper. It has been making its way back since 2020, and this year, we’ll see more bold, patterned, textured options that show off the homeowners’ personality.

4. FRESH LOOKS WITH UP-AND-COMING ARTISTS

How many homes or businesses have you set foot in, only to lay eyes on the same prints and pieces? Local and custom art is more accessible than ever and a great way to elevate your home’s style. Homeowners want art that is evocative of the diversity of our world, and its perspectives, as well as pieces that tell a story.

5. SEAMLESS TECH SOLUTIONS FROM START TO FINISH

Technology is certainly not a new trend for 2022, but it is at the forefront of many minds. Technology is integrated into the design from the get-go to ensure the homeowner’s experience is seamless. Features include centralized video hubs, discrete speakers, wifi repeaters, specialized outlets (e.g. Ultra-Fast Plus Power Delivery with USB-C), systems integration, one-app control over everything, and more.
