2022 home design trends with American Legend Homes

The Design Gallery process is a very important (and probably the most fun!) step of your homebuilding experience. At the Design Gallery, located in our Castle Hills community, you will partner with one of our design experts to personalize the look and feel of your new American Legend home.

Your personal design consultant will guide you through a generous and stunning selection of countertops, appliances, flooring, backsplashes, custom cabinets and more. You’ll have a partner to assist you with choices and pricing to ensure that your final home selections fit your budget and unique style. 

Our design consultants have decades of combined experience and can help you choose what looks are best for your home and your family. And they are also always up to date on the newest design trends.  We spoke with two of our Design Gallery consultants and asked them about what they are anticipating in home design for 2022.

Go for the gold

“One of my favorite design elements is gold finishes,” said Donna Grubbs, Design Gallery director. “Gold finishes in all forms of hardware, from kitchen and bathroom cabinets to doorknobs and light fixtures, are trending and it’s a look we love. Matte black is also trending, as is mixing metals.” 

We’re all in knots

“In flooring, we are really liking lighter floors with knots and splits,” said Teri Carter, Design Gallery assistant manager. “This type of distressed wood flooring gives warmth and character to a room.” 

Time for a break

“Our buyers love freestanding tubs,” added Donna. “These statement bathtubs generally require a larger bathroom to work, but our primary suites offer that. They are a focal point for the room, offering a modern aesthetic with clean, sleek lines but they also offer a spot in the home to focus on self-care and relaxation, something we all need in 2022!”

What else are our design consultants looking forward to in 2022?

• Warmer wood cabinet tones

• Simple modern geometric patterns with tile throughout the house

• Warmer whites on interior walls
