SMART, EASY, HEALTHY

APPLIANCES

How a home lives for its inhabitants is clearly showcased in its kitchen and utility spaces. A kitchen that functions well might be the most importantly designed space of the home. Everyday life is more comfortable when there’s ease in the necessary daily tasks. And of course, nothing helps us more than our appliances.

Today’s appliances are more helpful than ever due to the increasing connection with smart technology. From smartphones to smart refrigerators, there are more ways than ever to stay connected to your kitchen. A fresh new wave of tech-based trends, including a built-in vacuum sealer and the ability to control your stovetop without ever needing to turn a knob are just some of the latest advancements.

And, if you’re excited about staying connected over Wi-Fi, you can look forward to several new functions that allow you to set everything up and sync with your smartphone. Many of the large appliance manufacturers, like GE and Whirlpool, are making it easier than ever to keep everything communicative so you can access it wirelessly. These devices are adding tremendous ease and efficiency to the overall kitchen cooking and cleaning experience.

Another important lifestyle shift in the kitchen is the increased effort to eat healthier. And it’s not just the food we eat, it’s also the way the food is prepared.

Multi-cookers are advanced new appliances that allow homeowners and food enthusiasts to prepare their meals in a variety of different ways. From the famous slow cooker to a variety of steam-based and air-based options, you can now enjoy your favorite meals without having to dip into the oil or butter to heat up your cookware. Simply add your ingredients and fill the cooker with water, and you’ll have a healthy, and delicious steamprepared meal in no time.

IT’S GETTING PERSONAL

CABINETRY

Personalization is what it’s all about for 2022 (and most likely beyond).The appreciation for good design isn’t limited to the hottest trend or the favored style of the season, but rather, it’s about what speaks to the homeowner. A well designed space that meets the needs and wants of its users and has the look they love means endless optons for custom kitchens that are unique and personal. That being said, here’s what we’re seeing more and more of as late:

48 | PSG 2022

Open Shelves Open kitchen shelves instead of wall cabinetry has become a steady trend. While you may find it hard to go without your beloved, closed-door wall cabinetry, open shelving has plenty of benefits. It introduces a light and airy feel, offering the illusion of more space which is especially great in smaller kitchens. It’s efficient, since you can see and grab what you need without taking the time to open cabinet doors to look inside. However, considering everything is out in the open, be thoughtful about whatever you place on the shelves. Every utensil, bowl or glass has an impact on the overall aesthetic of your kitchen’s look and feel.

Double Islands Island living has become such a staple in kitchen design that it’s become common place to have more than one.

Doubling your island space means one may be used solely for dining while the other is for food prep. If spaces allows, two is definitely better than one.

Oak Cabinetry Starting in the 1970s and extending into the early ’90s, oak, with its strong grain and honey-stained color, dominated cabinetry lines — so much so, we never wanted to see it again. But, guess what? It’s starting to creep back into the kitchen and bathroom marketplace with cerused and driftwood finishes. Homeowners are seeking connections to their past and a renewed attention to vintage. However, today’s oak cabinets barley resemble their predecessor.

Current oak is being crafted in a variety of door styles — from recessed panels to flat slabs. It’s raw, neutral color, dimension and texture offers a soft luxury that can be layered into almost any space. And, it’s usually given a coat of paint or stain in shades of black, blue, green and grey — all popular selections for today’s homeowners.

Minimalism As the heartbeat of the home, the kitchen serves its users best when it’s organized, clean and efficient. It’s no wonder then, that minimalist design in the kitchen is increasingly on the rise. It enables clear, clutter-free surfaces and stylish and sleek materials. This does not mean the area needs to be empty. The appearance must be clean but loaded with luxe stone, gorgeous finishes, and smart appliances.

COUNTERTOPS

COMING TO THE SURFACE Could it be that the perfect countertop surface has come to be? Of course we’re talking about quartz as it remains, once again, year after year, the number one choice for countertops. Today’s technology has allowed quartz to replicate any natural stone or any color or pattern you could possibly desire. Add to that: It’s hygenic, stain resistant, extremely strong and durable. Did we mention that it’s low maintenance and doesn’t need re-sealing — it’s got it all.

Marble, butcher block, concrete, and soapstone continue to be options for the chefs who prefer these surfaces for the attributes that are harder to duplicate: ideal chopping surface, a cooler temperature for pastry dough, or naturally aging beauty. These surfaces will always be on the list for various reasons and their beauty is undeniable.

Finish choices also play a big role in the look and maintenance of a countertop, mainly: polished, honed or leathered. Textured and tactile surfaces are still all the rage and countertops play into this nicely. Honed and leather surfaces have become the number one option and can be applied to many different materials such as granite, marble, and quartz.

A honed finish is a matte finish with little to no shine. The overall look will vary depending on the stone type but, it should have a low sheen and a smooth surface.

A leathered finish has a soft sheen that is less glossy from a polished slab and to the touch has a different feel. The leather finish retains the stone’s natural color which can give it a more sophisticated look than honed. It also camouflages water spots and fingerprints nicely.

Choosing a countertop made from sustainable materials is always a great choice. It’s a feel-good choice that reduces your carbon footprint and as of 54 | PSG 2022

late it’s becoming easier to find options. Made up of a combination of recycled glass and white cement., sustainable countertops are free of VOCs and plastic resins. Recycled glass surface colors range from neutrals to bold jewel tones. The material is durable and will bring your vision to life visually and responsibly.

Concrete designs are continuing to meet the ongoing demand for a refined urban aesthetic. Instantly recognizable, even though texture, colors, and patterns offer great variety — from a cloud-like patina to multi-layer monochromatic tonal variations, or with flecks of contrasting colors, concrete is a statement-piece choice. And, like quartz, there is no need to reseal to avoid stains, cracking, or fissures over time, making it easier to keep clean and maintain.

DECORATIVE HARDWARE

GRAB AHOLD

58 | PSG 2022

Although it’s been said many times, many ways: Details make the difference! The spaces that we love are designed with attention to every component and decorative hardware might be the most important “detail’ to consider. Beautiful cabinetry hardware can take your kitchen to the next level and stylish door hardware will punctuate any space with a special feel.

Continuing to be a favorite choice from 2021, oversized drawer pulls and handles are still everywhere. Available in all styles and finishes, these pulls make a statement the moment you walk in the kitchen. Pulls can be used on both cabinets and drawers, making them a go-to for many homeowners.

Being environmentally conscious is always a good choice and there are a variety of eco-friendly, stylish options in cabinet hardware out there. Pulls made of bamboo offer a natural look while recycled glass knobs offer an air of sophistication. If the “grandmillennial style” is your thing (when a young-ish person takes ownership of something Grandma loved), repurposing retro pulls from an antique shop is both earth-friendly and fun when you find something you love.

Although dark finishes on kitchen hardware are nothing new, the rich darkness of flat (or matte) black continues its appeal. Graphite has also become a dark finish of choice that blends well with multi-toned cabinets.These finishes also have a very high impact on white or light cabinetry and doors.

Brass, copper and gold add an elegant look to cabinet hardware. The current gold finishes tend to be rich and deep with a brushed finish. They stand out on both light and dark cabinetry and add a sophisticated touch to any kitchen or bathroom.

The minimalist kitchen is going strong, with sleek cabinetry and smart technology. Hardware also plays into this look. Pulls and knobs in neutral colors that are thin or small in footprint complete this look nicely. Sleek pulls can also be installed on the top of drawers instead of the middle so they are distinctly less apparent.

CURB APPEAL

FIRST IMPRESSIONS You can’t judge a book by its cover but you can certainly judge a home by its curb appeal. Curb appeal is the attractiveness of the outside of a home, as it comes into view. It’s the first impression that is made of your home by friend or stranger.

Countless more people see the outside of your home than inside. And with front porches and decorative walkways making a comeback, it’s easy to make a great first impression.

Welcoming exterior spaces via a front porch creates a naturally inviting atmosphere and serves as a functional and intentional addition to your home.

Exterior colors can dramatically alter the look of the home and instantly boost curb appeal. For 2022, curb appeal trends are likely to see a rise in neutrals such as creamy white, pale gray, and beige. Michigan homeowners are also favoring the warmer tones that add appeal on those gray, winter days.

Walkways serve two purposes: the obvious is to provide you and your guests a path to your front door.

The other purpose is visual, and is just as important in our work as exterior designers. Walkways guide the eye to a home’s front entry. Stone-and-paver walkways create an informal, organic aesthetic that complements most exteriors.

So remember, first impressions make an impact.

Your home on the outside will let visitors and passersby appreciate the beautiful design even if only from your curbside.

Another curb appeal trend for 2022 is the stunning look of an oversized front door. Spiking from an average of eight feet tall to 10 or even 12 feet, nothing makes a lasting impression like a little drama.

Front doors are also getting wider, spanning six feet or more. Oversized doors allow more light and air inside the home, two elements that are vital to our well-being. And, your installers will love you!

QUICK CLICKS

Natural wood elements and accents are also very appealing right now. Wood details, such as a beautiful front door, a bench or even gates and arbors, add architectural interest and warmth. And, for those who actually enter your home, nothing makes a better welcoming impression than a solid wood, handcrafted front door. Keep the wood elements of your exterior intentional and anchored in your home style and you’ll love the view every time you come home.

60 | PSG 2022

Stone siding is also on the rise and makes a great first impression. It comes in all sorts of shapes, colors and sizes but for 2022, light-colored stone accents seem to hit the mark. Light stone siding looks sleek and modern without feeling stuffy and complements most exterior colors.

FLOORING

Trends in flooring don’t move as fast as in other areas of home design. For obvious reasons, our flooring does not get “re-done” as regularly as our wall color or our furnishings. But, our floors sure can make the biggest impact to a space and new ideas, products and trends keep arising.

Advancements in flooring technology have allowed manufacturers to replicate the exact look of real wood or stone onto all kinds of tile surfaces with luxury vinyl and porcelain being favorites. It has become almost impossible to differentiate the tile from the real thing. These replications also include a directional and textural finish, resembling that of the real thing. The variety seems endless and with faux tiles, you get the design benefits of a hardwood floor in terms of color, look and even texture but the ease of care and maintenance that nearly-indestructible vinyl offers. New technology has made its way to realistic-looking metallics as well for a pleasing, industrial look with various tile mediums.

The designer-favorite flooring choice, however, is still engineered hardwood and there’s a reason why. It’s the real deal but even better. It has a top layer of hardwood —that gives it its authentic beauty — followed by layers of plywood in alternating directions —that give it its durability. Designers stay true to the natural material and homeowners love its durability.

Natural stone is getting bolder with more prominent veining and color catching our eye. Different shaped tiles are being used more as well and can be seen mixed and matched and patterned with plain tiles. And, all sorts of floor tiles are making their way from the floor right up the wall — onto kitchen islands, on stair risers and in alcoves.

There are a lot of ways to add architectural interest to our homes but one of our favorites that’s on the rise is floor framing. By simply laying out your floor-

62 | PSG 2022

ing in a different pattern or direction, you can change the entire feel of your space. Pattern continues to be hot in 2022 and how your flooring is laid out can make a big impact on your interior design.

Geometrics continue with their popularity in 2022 and carpet with vibrant patterns and bold colors is leading the way. In fact, we’re seeing soft flooring in two extremes: either natural and calming, with a quiet pattern; or an explosion of color and bold pattern. Area rugs in new, custom shapes and sizes are a hot trend as well. Sisal, seagrass, coir and jute, all sustainably harvested, bring a natural element, along with wool, these materials emit low or no VOC’s into our homes, so they’re not only good for the planet but good for our health as well.

GLASS & MIRRORS

THE CLEAR WINNER A favorable atmosphere is one with and abundance of natural light. Natural light not only enhances our mood it’s significantly important to our mental health. Designers are using glass and mirrors more and more in unique and beautiful ways to maximize this commodity. Glass railings and bannisters, allglass showers, glass-front cabinetry, and many other innovative ideas are becoming common place in our homes. Glass can make people’s lives more comfortable, creative, colorful and enjoyable.

One of our favorite interior glass trends is the black, steel-framed window look (Crittall style).

Edgy and versatile, these slim-profile frames have the ability to completely transform a space; not just by giving it an edge that is somehow both retro and modern, but also by opening up a space and letting in more light. It’s a fabulous way to cleverly partition open areas to create different zones, without compromising on light or space. They can be used as internal partitions or connecting doorways, and they're great for dividing up and zoning spaces.

Making more eco-friendly choices with the materials we use is always important. Using products that are recycled, reused or made from certified sustainable sources can make a positive impact on the planet and sustainability is a selling feature for your home.

For those interested in reducing your impact on the environment, remember, glass increases the natural light in a space while simultaneously improving energy efficiency. It’s also recyclable.

When it comes to durability, glass does not corrode with exposure to water, crack due to extreme temperatures or change color when exposed to sunlight. It doesn’t warp and is not susceptible to rot. Glass is extremely durable and

66 | PSG 2022

will look great for a long period of time. Watch for glass countertops, backsplashes and wall cladding. A custom glass tabletop is a unique and functional piece.

Retro Style is an eclectic mix of old styles and new forms or new forms with old materials and finishes. As style is becoming more personal in 2022, beloved retro elements make a statement.

This style embraces a kaleidoscope of contrasting design features, colors, shapes and forms. Consider vintage mirrors in all sorts of shapes and frame options; colored glass, glass art or tinted lamp shades to bring different hues to your space. How about the chic look of a mirrored backsplash in your bar area or a metal-coated glass on the wall?

The options and ideas are endless and the results are beautiful.

AFTER DARK

LIGHTING

In 2022, things are looking bright and more brilliant than ever with something for everyone and every room. From striking, eye-catching chandeliers to subtle lamps and bulbs that gently envelop a room in light, here are the trends we have our eyes on and how to incorporate them into your spaces.

Oversizing Lighting is a surefire way to make a space feel special. and oversized chandeliers do the trick nicely.

They easily capture attention and are a great way to make a statement in a space. Keep in mind that chandeliers are no longer just reserved for dining rooms or foyers. Chandeliers are being used in a variety of different settings throughout the home, it's just a matter of finding that ideal selection that speaks to you.

Layering Rather than relying on one source of light, there’s been a resurgence in the look of layered lighting with designers using multiple fixtures in a room.

While this may sound like a lot of lights, it's a perfect layout for large spaces like living rooms and great rooms where lamps and overhead lights play important roles for different situations. Dimmer switches are always a must and allow for further ability to set a mood.

Naturally Relaxing and calming spaces commonly feature some kind of natural texture or theme running through them. Nature and outdoor areas can be the most rejuvenating places to spend time in, and spaces that reflect this serene energy are extremely inviting. Lighting is a beautiful way to incorporate the natural into your spaces and natural textures are a great way to play with shadow design.

70 | PSG 2022

Subtlety On one end of the spectrum we have statement lights, but on the other end, there are the gentle fixtures that blend into a room, diffusing it with a subtle light that still makes a drastic difference in the atmosphere and overall look. Lights that meld into spaces will be a huge draw in 2022 as they keep the desired aesthetic of a space open and airy. A light that almost disappears into the space allows for other design elements, like art or textiles to stay front and center.

THE SMART-ATTACK

HOME TECH

For decades, the movies have been showing us homes of the future. From virtual assistants to talking refrigerators, our society has been enamored by the idea of a smarter house. But what was once an act of Hollywood magic is now standard practice in households across the nation. Let’s look at the latest and greatest in what your home can do for you.

High-tech homes have raised the bar when it comes to the technology. One of the biggest trends in this industry is total home integration. By using the same products and services throughout (such as all Google or all Amazon Alexa devices), smart homes have become more streamlined and easier to use.

This connective technology allows the components to interact with one another, saving homeowners valuable time and effort. Think about this: if a smart water monitor detects a leak in your home, it could communicate with the smart water shutoff system to turn off immediately, preventing extreme damage to your home.

Artificial intelligence is also making strides. AI devices, such as voice assistants, are staples of the industry, and they make setting a timer or turning up your thermostat as easy as a voice command.

Smart speakers were the go-to when it came to AI devices but, thanks to recent advances, artificial intelligence has begun to show up in other aspects of the home: fridges that track contents and create a grocery lists; mirrors that host workout videos and can critique your performance; ovens that turn on and off with your voice. Artificial intelligence has transformed the ordinary parts of our homes in so many ways, letting us interact with our homes like never before.

We now live in a time where our health and wellbeing (both mentally and physically) have taken center stage like never before and our homes have become a focal point of this effort. Home automa-

72 | PSG 2022

tion companies have gotten in on the action, offering devices aimed at increasing air quality and incorporating “contactless” appliances, faucets and fixtures.

The recent pandemic has also increased the need for effective home office spaces. The most productive enviroments include elements such noise-canceling windows and air filtration systems. And, these at-home work areas many times serve other purposes, including remote classrooms for kids and study areas.

By now you’ve heard the term dead zone. Dead zones are the dreaded areas of your home that you can’t get internet access, even though you’re likely paying your service provider top dollar. Never fear: the homes of the future (which is today) have the answer! Thanks to something called mesh WiFi, dead zones come back to life. Mesh WiFi works by connecting your main router with additional modules placed throughout your home. This ensures that all your new, integrated appliances will always have access to the internet. It also means you’ll never experience that dreaded drop out again just because you walked into a different room.

If you think smart homes sound expensive, you’re correct. Whether you have upgraded your rooms yourself or bought a home with a smart system already installed, you likely paid a pretty penny. But when it comes to home tech, all the bases are covered including protection. Home protection systems typically include security cameras, alarm systems, video doorbells and plenty of motion-sensor lights. With all of these devices you know that your home is safe and secure. And, if an alarm goes off, you can check on your home from anywhere with your smart phone.

With 24 years of experience, we are West Michigan’s most respected audio/video company. Working alongside builders, architects, interior designers and homeowners, we’ll bring your home into the 21st century ... ENGAGE BEYOND LIMITS.

HOME ORGANIZATION 74 | PSG 2022

INCREASING LIVABILITY The pandemic has inspired changes to the home, mainly with the need for more storage and using existing rooms for more than one purpose. Trends in how we organize our homes have shined a light on the many more tasks we are now doing ourselves from home instead of relying on outsourcing.

Homeowners are looking to their garages as more than just shelter for their cars or a place to store their lawn and garden items. Today’s garages have become extensions of the home taking on a variety of roles from workout areas to pet grooming stations. But, this means clearing the clutter and having a place for everything. Rethinking your garage storage and organization will help expand its capacity allowing it to accomodate everything you desire it to do.

Another part of the home that has become essential in 2022, is the mudroom. New home builds are including customized mudrooms that fit the specific lifestyle needs of their owners, while renovation projects are significantly improving these spaces to make homes function better for their owners.

Mudrooms are no longer just used for putting on and taking off outerwear, they’ve become large spaces that organize family members with their various activities, hold packages and grocery deliveries — they even include gift wrapping stations and specialty laundry care areas.

Pantries have gone to the next level as well. Small rooms that were once just used for storing food items and small appliances have become full-on, second kitchens that are organized from top to bottom with ingredients and functionality. The

desire for these spaces is high as they allow homeowners to keep their main kitchen uncluttered daily and spotless when entertaining.

So, whether it’s cutting down on your messy junk drawers, or taking your garage to the next level, it’s been proven that a structured and organized enviroment adds to a better quality of life — less stress, and increased productivity. Customized, smart storage solutions are an essential component of the home.
