2022 Summer House Trends

Summer 2022 is now in full swing, and now is as good a time as any to update your interiors. This is especially the case as the summer light is unforgiving, meaning you can see in full detail whether certain corners of your home appear dreary or dated, or simply don’t match your current needs anymore. 

Here at ABS, we help homeowners at all stages of renovations or general makeover work. If you are looking to spruce your home up in time for the cosiness of the autumn season, here are some of the top trends to look out for. 

Plants, plants and more plants. That’s right, we can’t quite get enough of all things greenery, especially within our homes. 

Indoor plants or even living walls have a plethora of benefits. As well as helping to purify the air in your home, plants also reconnect us with nature, and with so much time spent indoors these days (especially if you work from home!) plants really are a necessity.

With so many different types of indoor plants to choose from, you can easily tailor your setup to the amount of space you have, in addition to the level of upkeep you’re willing to put in. 

Over the last few years, neutrals have ruled the roost in terms of wall colours, tile colours and even kitchen colours. While white can make a space feel clean and even appear bigger than it actually is, overuse of white can devoid a space of personality. In particular, the combination of white and grey is now becoming very tired.

Instead, homeowners are embracing pops of colour, from earthy green tones in the living room to bold metallic accenting details, and even bright sunshine yellow in the kitchen. Basically, personality is back on the cards where your interiors are concerned.

It was noted by a list of top interior designers over on the Home Building website that arches are a top interior design feature for 2022 and beyond. 

Of course, architectural arches have been in use since Roman times, so in many ways, they never went away. However, they are once again becoming a prime focus not just in terms of exterior architectural projects, but within the likes of interior doorways and even bookshelves. 

If you do happen to add any curved arches within your furniture or interior design, we’d definitely recommend following the arch pattern of any external windows or doors. That way, you can achieve a seamless look throughout your entire property.

Whatever changes you intend on making to your home, it’s always worth upgrading your windows before you do so, especially if they are not energy efficient, have a style that’s not in keeping with your property or even don’t make the most of any stunning external views. 

The benefits of updating your windows before painting and decorating especially include:

• Replacing windows before any plastering or decorating will ensure your new interiors are not damaged or disrupted. 
• New windows will offer superior energy efficiency, meaning your energy bills will be reduced and your home will be more eco-friendly. 
• The look of your interiors can be dramatically improved with new windows, especially aluminium windows which will add value to your home.
• With new windows, you can change the existing window size or add new windows to allow maximum natural light to flood the room.
