Chrissy’s Must-Know House Trends for 2022

It’s a brand new year, and who better to ring it in with than Chrissy the #DentonRealtor!

Last year brought on many unforeseen challenges in many industries, including real estate. 2022 will present its own challenges in the real estate industry, but you have Chrissy the #DentonRealtor by your side!

In order to be in the know, here are some things from Chrissy’s perspective and expertise as the local go-to #DentonRealtor:

• If you are considering building anytime soon, you should know that a lot of builders have a waitlist. If you are trying to get into a new home in the next year, you need to get on a waitlist ASAP.

• Currently, there are a lot of supply and demand issues. Just recently, Chrissy had two closings that we delayed due to shower glass and shower mirrors being on backorder for over a month. 

• Many homes are low-inventory homes right now. Homes are also going for over list price, and people are still using appraisal waivers to buy homes. 

Knowing is half the battle, and knowing Chrissy’s perspective will help you navigate the Denton real estate world.

Now that you’ve gotten the inside scoop, it’s time to talk about the 2022 house trends you must know about!

Are you ready to dive in? 

Decorative Cabinet Trends

Nothing can make your home feel more trendy than decorative cabinets. They also increase your home's value. If you want to make a serious fashion statement, knowing how to compliment your kitchen cabinet colors with the right countertop is the way to do it.

The first thing you should know is that all-white kitchens are OUT! Color that makes a kitchen pop is IN! People are going for a more adventurous look. 

Touch-to-open cabinets are a great way to give your house futuristic vibes and style. Having them in a matte grey is perfect for anyone with wood floors.

Speaking of wood: if you are going for a more natural look, you may want to consider oak for countertops and nature-inspired green for your cabinets. You can plan on seeing more brown paired with green in the kitchen in 2022. 

Other popular colors for cabinets in 2022 include smokey charcoals, emerald greens, and navy blues.

Home Bars

You may have found yourself spending more time at home lately. Your home may be a classroom one second then an entertainment zone the next. Maybe focus more on the entertainment zone for right now! Staying home doesn’t mean you can’t have fun.

It doesn’t matter if it's wet or dry, people are tricking out bars right in their own homes. Although everyone may not always be spending as much time at home, one thing is for sure: home bars are here to stay.

Fun Foyers

First impressions are super important. Your foyer is the first room your guests will see when they come over.

Top designers are predicting that foyers are going to start receiving more love and attention than ever before. 2022 has “fun in the foyer” written all over it! Get a cabinet and fill it with the books you love. You also may want to consider putting down a vintage rug.

You don’t need a huge foyer to make a big statement in 2022!

Home Office Biophilic Design

You may not be familiar with the term “biophilia,” but it’s changing how people set up their home offices. Biophilic design is actually a philosophy that’s backed by science. It proves that humans are innately connected with nature and its elements.

Biophilic design entails more than just adding a plant to your home office space. Expect to see people in 2022 decorating their walls with climbing plants and placing plants on mobile partitions shelves. Bring the outdoors indoors in 2022!      

More Texture

Even the most neutral of palettes can be made to feel exceptional and layered with textures. 2022 is all about mastering the mix! You can expect to see an uptick in woven furniture mixed with boucle fabrics and soft velvets. These textures make any space feel warm and inviting.

Vintage — Reclaimed

In response to supply-chain issues, second-hand shopping has become a popular trend for anyone who’s building a home. This is particularly true for furniture for any room in the house.

People want their homes to express their individuality. Vintage pieces in the home are a great way to do this. In 2022 you are going to see antique and vintage furniture rise in popularity.

Once again, more time at home makes for a great opportunity to get creative with your furniture.

Fewer Open Floor Plans

You may think that open floor plans are the way to go. Many renovation shows are full of scenes where walls are knocked down left and right.

However, in 2022, you can expect to see a rise in sequestered living. The running theme has been how people are handling spending more time at home. 

You enjoy being around your loved ones at home, but everyone needs some space. People want rooms where they can breathe and get a little “me time” in.

Another advantage of closed floor plans is the chance to be creative. Open floor plans can look extremely repetitive. The more rooms you have, the more fashion statements you can make!
