Neutrals are always classic and allow you to really diversify your aesthetic; however, they are becoming even more prominent this year. They can be combined with whites as well as cool and warm undertones. Shades of grey and beige are perhaps the most popular when considering neutral paint colors. Making your walls neutral can really maximize your options for décor. This is likely one of the reasons they are increasing in use given that there are an increasingly large number of trends and neutrals allow for more to be incorporated.

Sustainable design has been increasing in popularity for years, and 2022 is prepared to launch this to the forefront. It is no surprise given society’s increasing concern for their carbon footprint. Sustainable design involves the use of locally and ethically sourced products. As such, many designers are looking more into not only the options provided in terms of décor but also the means through which they are sourced.  

Blues

Blues are becoming incredibly trendy once again. When paired with a neutral beige, there are many opportunities to leverage different shades of blue to create a pleasant, relaxing vibe in a room. Consider selecting one item as a focal point to help tie the room together. This piece can often be a brighter hue. Blues are a compelling and vibrant choice that seems to have a timeless appeal, emerging again in popularity every few years. If you love this color, this is definitely a trend that you can incorporate into your 2022 design plans.

Relaxing Nooks

The recent pandemic has left most of us spending a lot more time in our homes. With that, it is no surprise that a huge interior design trend for 2022 involves creating more relaxing spaces for the home. One way this is taking shape is through relaxing nooks. Whether a breakfast nook or one for relaxing and reading, this is a big trend. A cozy nook tends to work best in areas with large windows that can produce a lot of natural light. Pair a small wooden table and chairs or match a coffee table with a cushioned bench for the right vibe you’d like to create.

Outdoorsy Elegance

With many people now favoring safer gatherings in small numbers, the home has become a place for hosting much more frequently. As such, many people have opted to invest in more expansive outdoor settings. These are great for enjoying a romantic dinner, relaxing and reading a book, family game night, or can be an extension of your living room when you are hosting friends and family. There are many ways to enhance the elegance of a balcony or garden with modern furniture, stringing twinkling lights, and using floor cushions or mats to create an informal and cozy atmosphere.

Florals

While many of the trends for 2022 deal with neutral tones, many people are finding small ways to complement those tones with splashes of color. Vivid accents are a great way to accomplish this. You can add vibrant colors really inexpensively. Using cushions, curtains, and even artwork is a great way to put splashes of color into a room’s aesthetic. This can really transform the mood of a room whether you are looking for a warm, welcoming feeling or a calm, collective space.

Multifunctional Spaces

Minimalism is here to stay and part of incorporating this lifestyle theme for many people involves creating multifunctional spaces. This allows people to optimize their space. Common examples of this are combining a bedroom with a home office space or adding a workout space to a family room. A good multifunctional space can quickly and seamlessly be converted from one purpose to another.

Curved Furnishings

Curved furniture brings with it a very soft and wavy vibe. This can be incorporated through curve-backed chairs or through the incorporation of angular sofas. Adding curves can help break up the monotony of what is often more linear design. This works great in spaces of all kinds from bedrooms to living rooms. Feel free to experiment by mixing pieces with sharper curves with those with softer ones to create contrast and juxtaposition.
