2022 Custom Home Design Trends to Include in Your New Build

Each new year brings exciting new trends in home design. Interior design trends are often reflective of what is going on in the world around us and 2022 will be no different. Watts Construction is rounding up the top home design trends of 2022. Read on to see what custom home trends you’ll be seeing more of next year. 

Color in Kitchens is Making a Comeback 

The white kitchen is on its way out. While they look crisp and clean, they can also feel sterile and more like a museum rather than a kitchen. The leading interior designers are swapping out white subway tile for solid slabs of stone that match the countertops, colorful beadboard, and shiny glazed ceramic tiles. 

Colorful kitchen cabinets are also on the rise. The most popular color? Green. From sage to forest, green cabinets will dominate the 2022 kitchen. Trend leaders are also turning to neutral wood cabinets that have low grain contrast and a natural stain. If you are building a custom home and you want to incorporate colorful cabinets, we recommend bringing a cabinet sample to the job site so you can see what your future cabinets will look like in the natural light of your new home. At Watts Construction, our goal is to make your dream a reality so we will work carefully to make sure every detail is perfect. 

Upgraded Offices & Work From Home Spaces

In 2022, those who have transitioned to working from home will be seeking a solution to the desk in the corner of their living room. Dedicated offices are practical, private, and allow those who work from home to better separate their work life and family life. When you choose to build a custom home, you have the option to incorporate features like bookshelves, built-in desks, and special storage for printers and routers. Our experienced contractors will take the time to understand your work-from-home needs and design a space that works for you. 

Closed-Concept Kitchens & Living Rooms 

After spending so much time at home in the last few years, many have been searching for a little more solitude within their own homes. In the design world, this has resulted in the end of open-concept spaces. Many new homes are being built with kitchens, living rooms, and entryways separated from one another. This separation gives the spaces in your custom home the opportunity to serve a more clear purpose. It also allows homeowners to be more creative in each space, adding special features like accent walls or pops of color because they won’t be drowned out in a large, open area. When we work with clients on their custom homes, we will always listen to their needs and make suggestions to provide more accessibility, charm, and function.
