2022 interior Design and Decor Trends

Posted by REEF Builders on Tue, Jan 18, 2022

  So what will the hot new home design and decor trends be for 2022? With the Covid era passing, people have been spending more and more time at home, working, attending class or just "social distancing."  This new interest in the home is driving some new trends which we love!

We have seen trends towards more natural finishes and interior decor elements bringing in rich wood tones and brown and tan colors from nature.

Also, elements like multi-purpose living areas that can transition from a home office to entertainment space, or guest bedroom are big this year as people continue to work from home.

Patterned Textiles and natural wood furniture often with carved elements are on trend, again playing on the nature theme, with calming and neutral brown and wood tones.

Island Ideas for your Cape Cod Kitchen

Posted by Matthew Teague on Wed, Dec 12, 2012

 

The kitchen island is the focal point of any home design, combing functionality for cooking and food preparation, with the style and taste of the homeowner.  A Kitchen Island is a great way to express your style, and could be considered a more a piece of furniture than a conglomeration of cabinets.  When designing your Cape Cod kitchen, take the time to look at all of your options, from size, style, lighting, countertops etc. In many of our Cape Cod Homes, we have sen trends towards a kitchen island that is a different color or style than the rest of the cabinetry.

How to Decorate Your Cape Cod Living Room

Posted by Matthew Teague on Thu, Sep 27, 2012

   Once the sawdust has settled, and you are getting ready to move in to your New Home, or Addition, the big question becomes "how do we decorate this space?" Witnessing the transition of your project from a lines on a page into a three dimensional space is exciting, however, for the homeowner, the work has just begun.  Decoist.com has provided some guidlines for decorating your new living space, with 5 simple steps that can help point you in the right direction.  You should first decide on a color scheme, the use and needs for the space, then furnishings and decorative elements.  Also, there is no need to have to purchase all new furnishings for your New Home, if you have planned properly, much of the furniture you already own, may be able to work in the new space. Often times, when REEF designs a New Space, we will take the time to measure an owner's existing furnishings and make sure they work in the space, long before construction has begun.  Then, to tie it all together, don't forget those little decorative elements such as lamps and other accessories that can make the space yours!
