New & Timeless Trends for 2022 and Beyond

Luxury homes have never taken a cookie-cutter approach. They require a unique balance between timeless design and modern flair to achieve a look and feel that’s truly exceptional. Let’s take a closer look at how you can achieve your dream home in 2022 while staying at the front of the pack in the luxury home market.

Re-Emergence of Natural Surfaces

Wood has always been a popular choice for luxury homes because of its durability and practicality. This year, it’s a preferred choice for surfaces within the home – from hand-crafted coffee and end tables to indoor bars and family areas. Compliment this with natural-feeling decor like teak wall art, mid-century lanterns, or rustic hardware.

Non-Linear Shapes and Angles

Not too long ago, “modern” meant straight lines and 90-degree angles. Now, affluent homeowners are more interested in adding more flow into their space through distinct shapes and edges. Choosing circular or angled windows, doors, or mirrors, a spiral staircase, or even the right assortment of hanging lights is an easy way to achieve elegance and add more character to your home. The goal is for your overall space to feel more organic and less manufactured.

Traditional Features

The pandemic has had more people going back to the roots of what they love and refocusing their priorities, with family being at the center. This shift is also starting to bring back more traditional features in homes, like shutters, Dutch doors, crown molding, and built-in furniture.

If you’re remodeling your home, this might mean peeling back some layers and showing off some craftsmanship that you had previously covered. Think of exposed beams, secret nooks, or a historic fireplace.

Layers, Textures, and Coatings

If you have been waiting for a chance to be bold and expressive with your new home build, now is a perfect time. Layers and textures are making a comeback in architecture, interior design, and beyond. Consider using a natural stone or wood facade in your living room or master suite to give the space some spunk.

Additionally, builders have been using materials like limewash for centuries to preserve building structures and slow down deterioration. The right application can also significantly improve your home’s curb appeal. While this style isn’t for everyone, anyone building or renovating on the New Jersey coastline who favors brick homes should consider a limewash coating to get more out of their investment.

Plush, Cozy Features

Last but not least, more homeowners are creating dedicated areas for some much-needed rest and recuperation in light of the last few years. Your luxury home wouldn’t be the same without a dedicated “you” space – whether that means an oversized porch swing where you can take in the sunset or an enclosed outdoor area that serves as your own personal bubble.

Sometimes owning a high-end home is not about having the “next best thing”, but bringing back the best of the past in a unique way. Your home is one of your most valuable investments, so make sure you work with a team of builders that will help you make the right decisions in the present, giving you peace of mind well into the future.
