What's Trending in Home Design for 2022

Kitchen Trends

Bold and beautiful colors that pop are what’s in store for the future of kitchens. Erin Yarbrough, Ideal Homes & Neighborhoods Director of Marketing, was browsing all the latest in kitchen designs at the International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Florida. “One of the trends we’re seeing is fun and quirky kitchens. How do you guys feel about this Dolce & Gabbana in our kitchen,” said Yarbrough.
There were tons of bright colorful appliances, metallic hardware, 70’s inspired designs, and so much more to give your home a unique feel.

Design Trends

Forget about dark and dreary because this year is about bringing nature indoors. Ideal Homes & Neighborhoods Design Center Operations Specialist, Melody Richardson, attended the International Builders’ Show and learned all about what you can expect to see trending. Homes will be full of warmth, textures, bright accent colors, and geometric shapes. A lot of warm tones are coming out from the color wheel, moving away from the cool grays and whites to creams and beige shades. Black, silver, and gold are still very popular in 2022. Plus, you’ll be green with envy as nature brings all shades of green to the spotlight.

As people continue to spend more time at home, creating an inviting space is most important. Trends to look for are repurposing vintage furniture and bringing it back to life, eye-catching light fixtures, nostalgic bold prints, textured fabrics for pillows and accessories, woven furniture pieces, printed wallpaper, and outdoor living spaces that add tranquil areas to the home.

Countertop Trends

The International Builders’ Show is full of exciting products that haven’t even hit the market yet, but we’re going to give you a sneak peek. Erin Yarbrough, Ideal Homes & Neighborhoods Director of Marketing, was checking out the latest in quartz countertops from our partner, Cambria.
For kitchens and bathrooms, the latest in quartz is a dark gray called Delamere and black quartz called Brooklyn, which looks like soapstone. Also, hints of blues and seafoam greens, like Ivy Bridge and Port Brush have deep-colored veining through them.
