The Final Touch: Home Design Melds Old with New

Over the years, we have been accustomed to saying, “Home is Where the Heart Is,” however, in 2022, a more accurate statement could be, “Home is Where Life Is.”

We all know that every aspect of life has changed in some way or another these past few years- we have lived through these changes! So, let’s talk about how design trends have evolved to reflect the way we now look at the “home,” shall we?

The top design trends of 2022, released earlier this year, focus on helping you create a home that is a place where life can happen, rather than just a place to lay your head at the end of a long day. Here’s what you can expect!

Interactive and Touchless Technologies

The kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s where meals are made and enjoyed, complex homework problems are solved and midnight conversations over a bowl of leftovers are had. In 2022, it will now be the place for smart fridges, voice-activated coffee machines, motion sensor trash bins, touchless soap dispensers and even electronic stirring utensils!

However, there is a trend towards mixing the old with the new. Call it rustic chique; adding clean white lines to polished wood. if you have the capacity to have a wood stove in the kitchen, home designers will swoon. Modern technologies paired with classic designs and products we have loved and trusted for decades, have made the kitchen into a space to cook and play, a winning combination.

Individualized Spaces

We now live in a time where we can work from the comfort of our homes with slippers on and a cup of home-brewed coffee in hand. If we are using the home all day every day, shouldn’t it be a place that everyone can enjoy? Experts say. “Yes!”

Open-concept floor plans may be replaced by individualized spaces that allow family members to go to work, entertain friends, educate children, and so on. We can expect large family rooms to be broken up into multifunctional spaces where several activities may be enjoyed in tandem.

Sustainability and Natural Elements

There is a trend that has been growing over the years that we are very excited about! Sustainability has become an essential part of home design, where products and materials are not only sourced locally, but are built locally as well. Raw materials and décor elements taken straight from nature not only showcase the beauty that is available in our towns, cities, and nation itself, but when you look at a piece there is a satisfaction in knowing that you are contributing to the environment and the local economy. Caframo makes and manufactures Ecofan and other products from its original loaction in Georgain Bluffs, Ontario, on the shores of Colpoys Bay. The company is a dedicated part of the community and will continue to be for years to come! 

Ecofan; The Final Touch!

It’s safe to say that home design in 2022 is built on evolving technologies. At Caframo, creating technology that serves the home has been our focus for years. The Ecofan, made in Canada and developed on the Bruce Peninsula, is a perfect example of a locally made woodstove fan that utilizes touchless technology to make the home the place to be. Placed directly on top of a wood-burning stove or fireplace mantel, the original wood stove fan utilizes heat taken from a wood burning appliance and transforms it into clean energy. Not only does it work to disperse heat quickly and easily into every nook and cranny, but it also extends the life of your wood supply, reducing your carbon footprint. Paired with a sleek and modern design, it is the best woodstove fan that will add the perfect final touch to your home. Try the Ecofan today- it will make an impact you will notice!
