Homeowners have rearranged their living spaces to accommodate more time at home, emphasizing the importance of functional, comfortable spaces and original flair. With remote and hybrid work a significant factor in people’s design aesthetic, many homeowners are now looking for creative trends in modern home design.
While some 2022 design ideas may fade, some recently introduced home interior and exterior trends will be timeless. From curvy textures to high-performance materials, take a look at five new trends in modern home design.
Whether you are examining interior or exterior spaces, maximalism is in right now. In previous years, minimalism was on the rise but after the pandemic, people started to realize that less isn’t always more. Minimalism definitely has not disappeared, but with increased time at home, people are less inclined to stick to a modest or sparsely-filled space.
Homeowners are now looking for comfortable spots to have small gatherings, well-thought out storage space, vibrant artwork, creative corners, fun prints and bolder colors as maximalism starts to rise. While maximalism has been around for centuries, it found its true footing during the Victorian era. People covered every inch of their homes with ornate, decorative elements, from wallpaper and rugs to draperies and accessories.
Maximalism allows originality to really shine and allows you to show aspects of your (or your grandma’s) style to any visitor you invite over.
You can keep it sleek and modern while still adding depth to an exterior by utilizing contrasting colors and textures. Get creative with garage doors, accent walls, ambient lighting and different material aesthetics to take a minimalist look up a notch with a little extra enhancement and excitement.
You can do a pop of color or you can take neutrals like brown, white, and black to create a palette. Mixing warm, natural wood-look elements with sleek finishes to achieve a one-of-a-kind aesthetic helps your home stand out. Nichiha has fiber cement siding with wood and stone-like aesthetics that have the look of the real thing, while still standing up against the elements, moisture damage and pests.
Taking modern design elements and mixing them with traditional elements, also called transitional design, is growing in popularity. This North Carolina home above achieves the timeless look of a farmhouse with fiber cement siding and gabled roofing. With exterior wood-like accents, large glass windows and metal detailing, this home somehow stands out and blends in at the same time.
Take a few moments to really outline your design aspirations and style inspirations and think about how you can incorporate them all cohesively to create a dream home that is truly unique. We suggest starting with a neutral color palette, your favorite dark-colored elements and adding in other textures like wood-look materials and metal accents.
Adding traditional shapes with durable, high-quality materials will ensure your dream home lasts a lifetime.
2022 is all about maximizing glass — let sunlight and nature in with glass walls and large windows. With so much time indoors, adding in glass accents provide an opportunity to reconnect with nature and make you happier at home.
According to designers in Vogue, chocolate browns, camels and caramels will reign supreme in the coming years. Pastels have dominated in recent history and some people are ready for a palette cleanser. The retro fans can look forward to the spectrum of browns coming back in style!
Brown plays well with other colors and stands in as a deep neutral for rich, elegant, decadent and timeless spaces. Whether your favorite brown is cognac or burnt umber, earthy browns and cozy colors are going to make a come-back.
