With people spending more time at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, people are finding themselves wanting to revamp their living spaces. It is clear people want to be with the current trends but, we all know that trends come and go over time. So, when renovating your home, it is important to think about how you will like the renovation and design in the long run, not just to be “trendy.” We are here to help assist you in your home renovation project to ensure you like how it looks today and will years from now!

Here are some of the more prominent home renovation trends we are predicting for 2022:

  1. Converting a spare room into an office
    • People are not only just staying in more these days, but they are also working from home! As the work-from-home lifestyle continues, people are looking to convert extra or guest rooms into office spaces, so it feels like their work is separate from their home life. 
  2. Large master bathrooms
    • The idea of having a large master bathroom is more a reality than a dream for most people. Not only can updating your master bathroom add value to your home, but it also makes your home feel more luxurious! 
  3. Enhanced outdoors spaces
    • Outdoor spaces continue to be important with people spending more time at home and wanting to host people outdoors, where everyone would feel most comfortable. This year, we will see more people invest in their outdoor features to make it a more enjoyable place to be for themselves and guests. 
  4. Creating accent walls or cabinets
    • Many people love the look of a simple home or kitchen, but being at home more often, people are looking for something exciting and new in their home. They can achieve this by creating an accent wall or cabinets of a color you love but wouldn’t ordinarily choose! 
  5. Sustainability first 
    • With creating an addition or renovating your home, you have to think about how this will affect the environment around you. Being green when choosing to remodel your home can include putting in solar panels or using natural construction materials in the design of your home. 
  6. Finishing your basement 
    • Finishing your basement is the perfect way to add more space for yourself and your family while everyone is spending more time at home. This can be more space to hangout and entertain guests or just to create a separate space for kids to play!
