Top Home Improvement Trends of 2022

Finally, it’s time for all of us to kiss 2021 goodbye and roll in 2022 and all the exciting opportunities the new year will bring.

In the home improvement world, 2022 is bringing a slew of home improvement trends with it. So, to keep you up with what’s hot, we’re here to break them down for you.

Let’s get started with the best home improvement trends of 2022.

Windows Galore

This year is all about connecting with nature. We’ve been cooped up in the house for too long and need to incorporate some natural lighting in our lives.

Many homeowners are beginning to plan for new windows and transparent doors to allow more natural lighting into their homes. Some are even adding skylights for further introduction of the sun and all it’s glory.

If you’re planning on doing some renovations this year, you may want to add windows to the list of considerations.

Outdoor Kitchens

Yes, you read that right. Outdoor kitchens are becoming quite a big thing this year. While it may not be the most suitable investment in Michigan, since it’s cold half the year, they are increasing in popularity.

Like we said previously, a lot of homeowners are looking to incorporate nature into their home. Outdoor kitchens are a great way to achieve this.

We aren’t talking a nice grill and lawn chairs. This is a full on outdoor extension that has a demand increase of 61%-71% according to a survey done by the American Institute of Architects.

Productive Home Office Designs

Throughout this unpredictable coronavirus pandemic, it’s common knowledge that thousands of people have been working from home. Since then, the need of a home office has spiked dramatically.

This year has already started off with many looking for ways to make their home office a place of cleanliness and productivity. According to statistics on Houzz, the search for home office ideas have skyrocketed by 108% and continue to rise.

If you’re working from home and your office consists of your living room couch, it’s time to look into creating your own home office space.

Switching Up the Floors

In 2021, the most planned out renovation was replacing the existing flooring, and this is projected to carry into 2022. In fact, homes with hardwood flooring sold for 2.5% more than those without it according to Realtor.com and their experts.

Last year, medium brown and driftwood finishes claimed their place in homes by a landslide. This year, we’re expecting these similar styles to continue with the most popular choices including:

• Natural Wood Colors
• Reclaimed Barn Wood
• Herringbone Patterns
• Weathered Wood
• Bleached Wood
• Smoked Wood

Incorporate these into your upcoming flooring renovations to stay up to date with the trends.

Outdoor Enhancement

Continuing with the focus on outdoor activity, a driving home improvement trend is the addition of a deck or patio. After all, this should be expected with how much time we have spent indoors.

A nice wooden deck paired with some potted plants is the way to go when aiming for that nature incorporation aspect of your deck.

Wellness and Sustainability

Almost everyone has been on a mission to keep their health and wellness in check this past year, so it’s no wonder that home interiors are following suit.

Smart appliances and wellness promotional additions like hot tubs, Zen gardens, and steam rooms are popping up throughout homes across the country. This is a trend that is speculated to continue throughout the rest of the year.

With heightened health concerns, many homeowners are investing in services like HVAC as well to enhance air filtration and purification.
