The home of tomorrow will have a natural aesthetic that’s both sophisticated and simple, with earthy tones complimenting neutral colors that are slightly cooler than in past years. A return to wellness in all areas of life also indicates a renewed focus on air quality, resulting in a greater number of plants filling the home.
Technology is another important aspect of 2022 home decor–it’s here to stay, and it’s going to continue to play an integral part in how we live our lives.
In 2022, interior design is going to be all about mixing and matching styles from various eras. For example, it’ll be increasingly common to find a modern piece of furniture combined with a rustic floor lamp or a Victorian-inspired sconce. The best way to create an effective home decor trend is to select a few things that appeal to you visually – then mix and match them until it feels right!
It can be hard to know where to begin when decorating your home. But here are some ideas for creating an interior design trend around which you can build your own style:
Farmhouse-style
Farmhouse-style homes are warm, inviting, and full of character, which is why this particular style has stuck around for so long. The long-lasting appeal of the farmhouse aesthetic is sure to stay popular in the coming years. While embracing the farmhouse look in your home if you haven’t already can be done simply by painting your walls white or wood paneling, updating your kitchen cabinets, and displaying family photos on rustic galvanized shelves, updating older farmhouse elements can also bring this style back to life. Farmhouses that have remained untouched for years are likely to include outdated things like linoleum or carpeted floors, floral wallpaper, or brass chandeliers. This year, these features will be even more noticeable if they haven’t already been updated to match with the rest of the home’s decor. Fortunately, doing so will be easier than ever thanks to today’s stunning upholstery fabrics —like luxurious jute textiles— that are perfect for bringing a farmhouse feel into modern spaces both old and new.
Natural elements
Stone and wood are popular not only in decoration but also in furniture. There are many variations of details made of natural materials, but the most popular are wood doors, tables, and chairs with stone legs or stone tops. The table can be square or round. Legs are made of natural wood, metal, or plastic.
Add some interesting elements to your interior, for example, a potted plant on the desk or an aquarium instead of a regular mirror. The interior design will be dominated by the colors of nature: beige, light brown, and white. They create a calm atmosphere that helps you relax after a busy day.
Sustainable home
If a home is a reflection of its owner, then a house furnished with sustainable materials will reflect the owner’s respect for nature and concern for the well-being of future generations. These two factors have contributed to a rise in the popularity of eco-friendly design, as well as an increase in demand for such products. Also, eco-sustainable homes have become increasingly sought after and their price has risen real estate buyers agents claim, adding that this trend will prevail in the upcoming years.
In recent years home decoration has moved towards more sustainable solutions and away from the ‘throwaway culture we’ve become accustomed to. This includes using natural materials like wood and leather instead of synthetic materials like plastic and metal that are very difficult to recycle or reuse.
It is not just home decoration that is becoming more sustainable; everything from clothing and jewelry, to equipment such as solar power generators, water heaters, and even lighting systems are moving towards greener alternatives.
The minimalist style took on a new form
Trends in home design in 2022 are shifting towards large, open spaces. Contemporary interiors are pushing the boundaries of layout and design with cleverly placed, unconventional furniture design. Keep an eye out for rooms that are both spacious and functional.
Whitespace is a key element in all interior designs this year, but that doesn’t mean you have to go light on decor. The key here is to create a bright, airy, and exciting space without being cluttered. Walls are often painted in white or grey tones while the floors are left bare or with rugs in neutral colors. For furniture, there are plenty of storage solutions made in the minimalist style that will help keep your home clutter-free.
Multifunctional space
The most popular way to create a multifunctional space is to use curtains or sliding doors that separate the room into different areas. For example, a kitchen area can be separated from a living room by a curtain with small holes for pots and pans to pass through. Similarly, sliding doors can create a visual separation between two different areas with one side being used for dining, the other for working. Both these methods will help you save space and look trendy at the same time.
Another trend with multifunctionality in mind is the increased use of furniture that blends in with its surroundings. For example, you can hang cabinets on walls to make them seem like part of it or place furniture on top of drawers that make them look like they are parts of an old piece of furniture. Curtains that serve as storage solutions are also gaining popularity as people try to make the most of their storage space.
Some still separate trends with elements of Scandinavian style, industrial style with its metallic accents and natural materials, the vintage style combines retro elements with modern ones. It is not necessary to choose one style that will completely change your house or apartment. You can combine different styles with each other in order to obtain original interior design. However, you should not try to combine all these trends at once. They should complement each other or create contrast depending on what you like most.
