Top 5 Summer 2022 Stand-Out Design Trends for your Custom Home

1.    Sustainability
Being more mindful about materials used within your home is arguably one of the biggest trends we’ve seen in 2022, and this trend is only gaining speed as we continue into the summer. A great opportunity to utilize more sustainability when building your custom home is to focus on its energy efficiency.

Solar panels are undoubtedly the first option that comes to mind when making your home function in a more environmentally-friendly way. But another feature to consider is your windows! Windows account for as much as 50% of energy lost in a home. Modern technology allows you to source windows that not only drastically cut this energy loss, but also adds a visually appealing design feature throughout your home.

2. Traditional elements
The trend of ultra-modern and minimalistic design focused around all-white color palettes is now in the past. Traditional design has made a comeback in 2022. Warmth, texture and bold design found its way back into your home with the use of natural, blonde woods against brighter spaces, or through the use of detailed molding in more dramatic spaces. Board and batten made a huge leap in popularity and is an easy way to invite traditional design in your space.

3. Arches
Alongside the use of more traditional design elements, your custom-built home can be elevated further with the use of arches. Whether it be doorways, cabinetry, or windows, there’s endless opportunity to include this feature throughout your home, and all are sure to make a beautiful impact.

Entertainment space

Where before, entertainment space in a home was typically seen only with the installation of a media room, 2022 has brought with it many creative options for entertaining your guests. One trend gaining traction is building a personalized bar space within your home. Making a comeback since its popularity in the 1970s, a bar space is a multi-purpose location where your guests will be sure to gather.
