022 will be brighter and better as the design and building trends are revealed this year with the winners of the National Association of Home Builders’ 2021 Best in American Living Awards (BALA). The lasting home design trends brought to light by the BALA winners will be those that home buyers and remodelers will see both this year and several years to come. The pandemic had a lasting impact on the way people design and use their homes, encouraging a renewed focus on quality, creativity, and the comfort of spending time in their own spaces. A focus on innovation means designers can get creative and pull out the stops with unique ideas that create interest without being overwhelming. Reach for the heights with interesting ceilings! Ceilings are becoming interesting again, and detailed designs in ceilings of all heights will include beams and other architectural details painted white or warmed up with natural stains.
Natural wood is in too. And speaking of natural stains, warm wood tones are highlighted everywhere from the ceiling to floors and cabinetry, rather than a predominance of painted wood from the past few years. Combining cool colors or white with the warmth of wood brings both drama and comfort to every living space. Timberhaven Log & Timber Homes, a trusted HBA member in Middleburg, can bring the warmth of wood to your home and keep your living space on trend with this year’s top picks.
