5 Home Building Trends to Expect in 2022

We all look to the new year as a new beginning and a way to reset. Many of the upcoming trends of 2022 reflect the need to step back and take a moment. If you are looking to design a custom home in Northeast Wisconsin, we have some of the upcoming 2022 trends to help inspire you!

More Sustainability

Sustainability is having a moment and will continue throughout 2022. When designing your home, you can plan to use more sustainable materials such as bamboo, cork or reclaimed wood.

Homework Rooms

With the rise of working from home and the need for home offices, our kids need a space to dedicate their time to their homework and studies as well.

Lower Level Living

We’re not talking about your parents’ cramped basement. The lower of your custom home can offer so much functionality along with fun. We have seen people create full-out bars, theaters, at-home gyms and more in the lower level of their homes.

Thoughtful Spaces

With the past couple of years, finding a space for peace and meditation isn’t a surprising trend for 2022. Spaces like these could be a sunroom to allow more natural light and feeling more in touch with nature, little cozy book nooks or an empty space to fit a yoga mat.

Biophilic Design

Being stuck inside due to the pandemic the past years has a lot of people craving more natural substances in their homes. Some ways to incorporate Biophilic design is by having more neutral colors such as grays, light browns, stone blue and light greens, natural accents like stone, wood or clay and creating more natural light for indoor plants to thrive on.
