Mike Johnston Ready for a light spring update of your interior in 2022? If you love to follow trends in interior design and keep your home relevant, there are a few trends that will pop this year. Adopt any of the following trends and you’ll love your home even more:
Warm colors will be big in 2022
There’s no design without color, interior design included. The color palette you’ve chosen for your home can make or break the design. Colors have a strong effect on humans and can evoke emotional responses. In the past years, cooler tones like purple have been very popular. In 2022, warm colors will find themselves back on the big stage.
Red is one of the main colors of the year, but all different shades of red, orange, and coral will be present in modern interiors today. If you’re aiming for an earthy and sustainable vibe, browns and beiges are expected to replace gray as the neutral color this season.
Soft shapes will remain relevant in 2022
From the various architectural elements to furniture and décor, in 2022 we can expect to see a lot of rounded shapes, softness, and femininity in forms. If your home is full of lines and sharp corners, it’s easy to rectify this with furniture that flows. Designer furniture has lost its actual (not figurative) edge. We can see soft and rounded tables, lighting, sofas, and ottomans. Even chairs will exhibit softness instead of their stoic and rigid structure.
Statement ceilings are here to stay in 2022
If you want to achieve a very obvious and bold change in your interior, just point some attention up towards your ceilings. Bold colors and patterns today are not only reserved for walls and flooring—ceilings will enjoy a lot of interest and instantly transform any boring space into a quirky and eclectic environment.
Diverse and flexible design
In the past, before the pandemic, every room had a specific use and the design that supported it, but today, when we have to do so many things at home, we need designs that will be flexible and diverse. Multi-functional spaces that allow you to use every inch of your home will be all the rage in 2022, especially among people who live in smaller homes and apartments.
For instance, with folding chairs and tables it’s possible to go from a full dining room to open space for workouts. Furniture with tiny wheels is also popular because it’s easy to move around and create different designs with it.
Concrete décor pieces & accents
Concrete is a common material used for flooring, walls, and countertops, but this material (that’s surprisingly eco-friendly) has more uses today, most notably in décor. For instance, you will notice more lighting pendants, coffee tables, and small decorations made with concrete. If you like this trend, just make sure to balance the gray and cold vibe of concrete with some bold and bright colors to prevent the space from becoming too sterile.
Woven elements
Furniture and accents made with cane are still going strong, but in 2022, we can expect to see some more woven elements. These are very attractive details that can bring nature into your home quickly and efficiently. Besides well-known weave chairs, we can expect to see other elements like vases, pendants, lamps, and cabinets adorned with woven elements.
Café curtains
If you’re completely new to café curtains, you might be stunned to see this trend, but after you keep seeing it, it will definitely grow on you. Aesthetically not the most attractive, café curtains just make sense because they provide users with ample privacy while allowing the sun to shine through. When you see café curtains in action, you’ll become a believer.
Final thoughts
In 2022, expect a lot of freedom to experiment with different interior designs and different décor elements. If you want to use these above as the inspiration for your unique design, feel free to adopt them and enjoy your new interior.
