5 Eye-Catching Features to Fix Up Your Home
-5 Eye-Catching Features to Fix Up Your Home-
For those of you looking to fix up your home this year, there is no shortage of new options and style trends for 2022. In addition to helping customers buy and sell homes, our real estate team has been keeping a close watch on the latest eye-catching features for Tampa Bay homes.
Refurbishing Trends and Home Features for 2022
For starters, Pantone’s 2022 Color of the Year is Very Peri, which is a brand-new shade resembling a periwinkle blue. Working this color into your home, such as by painting or adding new accents, is one of the simplest ways to fix up your home for modern times.
Refurbishing options, however, don’t end with color. We have compiled a few ideas for you to consider for your Tampa Bay home. As always, feel free to let us know if you would like referrals for local interior design experts and contractors to support you through any home project.
- Get Trendy: Kitchens and baths featuring stone or granite countertops, new cabinets, and soft-close drawers remain high on the list of desirable features. What’s new? Made-for-kitchen wallpaper is trending for backsplashes instead of the tile. Trendy colors (such as Very Peri) and fun wallpaper designs could make an old space look new.
- Walk the Walk: As always, new flooring is also an important part of any remodel or update. Today’s options are limitless for styles and colors, from sleek porcelain tile to traditional hardwood. There are even tile-flooring options that have the appearance of hardwood but the durability of stone.
- Add Some Shine: Faucets and showerheads may seem like small items in your home, but they can make a huge difference when updated. Stylish new designs, touchless technologies, and better performance can take a kitchen or bath from drab to fab.
- Get Your Groove Back: Last year, people started shifting away from the straight-edge furniture designs of the early 2000s back to the traditional curvatures of antique furnishings of yesteryear. Say goodbye to boring square boxes lacking character. It is time to enjoy fancy curved tables or scalloped edge accent pieces around your home.
- Light Up Your Life: New lighting is a cost-effective way to alter the look and feel of your home. Outdoor lighting, for example, could offer major curb appeal. Modern porchlights or perhaps a row of walkway lanterns will enhance the exterior appearance. Inside, new lighting features are much more than just an accent on the wall or ceiling. Strategic placement of different types and styles of lighting can change the entire mood of a room, from dim and serene to bright and energizing.
