Instead of setting the traditional New Year’s resolutions for 2022, why not be a bit more adventurous and set some resolutions for the interior of your home too! With a splash of paint, or maybe some new (or new to you!) furniture or accessories, you can help your home take on all that 2022 has in store. Here are the top 5 interior design trends for 2022 that our designers are loving.
#1 | Shades of Green
The 1st interior design trend for 2022 that we are in love with is ‘Shades of Green’.
Green is a comforting reminder of the outdoors and our need for a connection with nature. With so much time spent at home these days, having those natural earth elements inside your home is key.
Even a few major paint companies agree! Sherwin Williams and Behr named a shade of green as their colors of the year for 2022, and it’s not hard to see why.
Green has a lush hue to it making it easy to incorporate into almost any element to your interior. You can toss a few green throw pillows on your sofa, add a calming feature wall to your bedroom with paint or wallpaper, or go bold with green cabinetry or a statement green piece of furniture.
#2 | Warm Neutrals & Earth Tones
The next interior design trend for 2022 is a compliment to the first trend – shades of green.
In keeping with the idea of creating an outdoor sanctuary inside your home expect to see comforting neutrals as well as rich earthier shades like taupe, camel and rust.
Warm neutrals create a cozy and comfortable environment and can be applied to both walls & upholstery.
A few key ways to incorporate this trend into your interior is by choosing an area rug in creams, beiges & nude tones that complements the existing flooring, and use accessories in the same shades to tie the room together.
#3 | Natural & Biophilic Design
First off, let’s define what ‘Biophilic Design’ means.
Biophilic Design is a concept used within the building & design industry to increase connectivity to the natural environment through the use of direct or indirect nature. It is argued that this idea has health and environmental benefits.
In simple terms – create a mini greenhouse in your home!
This 2022 interior design trend is moving beyond a few pots on the windowsills. We are now experimenting with plant-covered walls & unique hanging installations. Be sure to use natural & reclaimed materials to really incorporate this trend to it’s fullest.
#4 | Curves
This interior design trend for 2022 is all about comfort and creating an embracing feeling.
Curves are softer and more calming than sharp angles & straight lines. We aren’t talking about plump, over the top exaggerated curves, but soft to the eye and the hand curves.
Try adding furniture pieces that have radiused corners or curved backs on sofas or chairs, and even scalloped shapes on accent items like rugs or ottomans.
#5 | Vintage Comeback
The last interior design trend for 2022 is probably one of our favorites.
Try your hand at shopping second hand furniture &home wares to find unique furniture and décor pieces to upcycle.
Mixing the old and new in a space creates a unique juxtaposition, and is an eco-friendly way to repurpose items. Move towards furniture’s with reclaimed wood or recycled glass accessories.
What’s the best way to get started on this trend? Start searching your local antique stores for unique items! You can also find numerous local companies who take old furniture and make it new again while keeping the vintage charm.
We hope these top 5 interior design trend tips for 2022 helps you achieve your interior design resolutions!
