What’s Trending in Custom Home Design

The best custom homes boast a timeless appeal and everlasting comfort. That being said, it’s inevitable that new trends in home design will arise that offer improvements in both ease of living and aesthetic appeal.

For example, in 2022, as homeowners showcase an increased appreciation for statement structures and outdoor landscapes, we’ll see people move towards achieving a balance between everyday functionality and effortless luxury in unique ways. 

Forecasting maximalist approaches and innovative solutions, our team of industry experts compiled their picks for the top architectural design trends of 2022.

Bold Bathrooms

Aesthetically, 2022 will see a pattern of striking shapes and forms. Commonly known for straight-edge lines, bathrooms are likely to be full of abstract symmetry and unique structures. From non-linear, contorted spouts to silhouettes of marble columns, we recommend complimenting your clever style with materials that harmonise in design and function.

To implement your own take on this forward-thinking strategy, explore curved outlines for glass shower doors, statement sconces positioned next to your vanity and consistent hues in your joinery and grout. Curating a bathroom that is both beautiful and functional will enhance your space of rest and reset for years to come.

Connect to the Outdoors

Next, we predict a rise in indoor outdoor living. Creating a seamless connection between these two living spaces plays a core role in custom home design in Australian homes. By incorporating free movement amongst the two zones you can allow for effortless views of your surrounding landscape – and the added bonus of welcoming more natural light into your home.

If you seek to connect with the great outdoors from the comfort of your home, consider including folding glass doors to create a continuous flow of fresh air. To enhance your home’s landscape, try integrating a built-in fireplace and sunken seating to accommodate for all your group gatherings and entertaining needs.

Additionally, illuminate your home with natural ambience by designing your living spaces with plenty of access to natural daylight. Open up dull areas of your home with north-facing windows and tall ceilings to ensure every corner of your home is well-lit.

More Maximalism

Next up is the maximalist design approach. Sometimes, more is more. Rather than focusing on whitewashed walls and muted tones, maximalist design takes the complete opposite route. Think contrasting patterns and head-turning floor tiles – this style of design can take form in a range of aesthetics. From Victorian, coastal or art deco, you’ll be sure to find a style that suits you.

To curate your own maximalist haven, we suggest experimenting with oversized front doors that make a strong first impression, or a hyper-modern inverted curved roof. From there, select statement features that complement your foundation – such as bold, arched windows. 

Functional spaces over open plan

Over the course of two years, the functionality of our homes has evolved to meet the new normal. With families growing in size and spending more time in shared spaces, our needs and lifestyles no longer require open-plan layouts. This year, we expect homeowners to capitalise on room dividing features that can convert single spaces into two for optimal versatility.

Multifunctional environments will increase, with a rise in carefully proportioned spaces that allow you to define the function of a room with ease. This strategy is perfect for anyone with children, a dynamic job, or a variety of hobbies that traditional home layouts just don’t cater for.
