As we navigate the "new normal," creating in-home experiences will continue trending in 2022. Pandemic shutdowns and shelter in place orders kept us from our favorite places and routines. As a result, we gravitated to fixing and updating our homes in ways that allowed us to reclaim some of those favorite pleasures. Here are some of the top trends in home design and renovation that bring luxury into our homes.
Smart home automation allows you to tap into high-tech functionality and luxury that wasn't possible in the past. As technology development continues to expand, so will the possibilities for consumer home automation to make life easier and more enjoyable.
Home theatres create the ultimate movie-watching experience with wireless surround sound speakers, stereo, and massive screens. However, room lighting definitely affects the TV and video projector viewing experience, so converting basements is a popular choice.
Massive shutdowns during the pandemic had many of us craving fitness. As a result, we became obsessed with trying to create functional spaces like home gyms, spas, and other wellness spaces. Also, an uptick of interest in features like pools, hot tubs, and infrared saunas are unlikely to slow.
Some 2022 trend reports predict that homeowners will ditch their desks and double monitors in favor of a ping-pong table, movie projector, or giant Jenga set. However, the trend isn't limited to pool cues and decks of cards. The site notes that hobbies of all kinds will be getting their own dedicated spaces, from sewing studios to woodworking shops. Not everyone has a separate spot to transform into a rec room, so finding a balance between fun and functionality can be tricky.
Home upgrades are of utmost importance since many stay closer to home these days. Unfortunately, the pandemic made us miss out on our favorite restaurants and bars. Upgrades in homes include full chef kitchens with the latest high-end appliances, cookware, gadgets, wine cellars, full cocktail bars, etc.
Outdoor spaces are now a must. A sleek pool with a hot tub and a dedicated fire pit are popular projects for homeowners who want more out of their backyard spaces. Pizza ovens and outdoor kitchens are top wish lists also. In addition, according to experts, outdoor decks, pergolas, gazebos, canopies, and pavilions are all highly searched desired.
Another pandemic trend that is here to stay is garden spaces. Whether we had successful or unsuccessful, gardens made people feel like they had some control over the chaos. We didn't realize how meditative and good digging in the dirt felt. It may not sound like a luxury item but tell that to someone living in a crowded city with window or balcony space only.
Spa-retreat bathrooms are one of the most significant upgrades to homes with showers with fancy fixtures and steam options. In addition, heated floors, plush towels and robes, soft lighting, and music are all features that cannot be ignored in creating in-home luxury.
