Every year, it brings us a lot of joy analysing design trends people welcome into their homes. It’s always fun to discover the colour palettes, furniture choices and other decor elements that are all the rage at the moment. In other words, the top interior design trends for 2022 are worth considering. 2022 has been a creative and innovative year to say the least. In 2021, people focused on pieces that mix style and practicality. But this year, everything from bringing the outdoors in to experimenting with pattern and texture, and finding design inspiration from past decades are of interest.
Without much fuss, let’s get right into it!
-
Nature Inspired Design:
It is very rare to go into a home nowadays and not find plants adorning most spaces. Plants will not only complement your natural woods and warm browns, but they will also purify the air. Besides, seeing your blooms grow brings a deep sense of fulfilment and joy.
Some plants that are apt to grow in your home:
- Sweetheart Plant: A versatile climber that is happy in semi to full-shaded rooms.
- Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree: Hardy and beautiful bushy trees that need sunny rooms and weekly watering.
- Monstera: A large family of plants with unique cut-out-shaped leaves that thrive in low-light interiors.
- Palm: Another family with a wide variety of big and small plants that flourish in partial sun.
- Snake Plant: Rumoured to absorb negativity, this plant prospers in indirect sunlight and with infrequent watering.
-
Pattern Play:
Introducing more patterns in projects, without going overboard with over mixing large, bold prints or overusing prints on all the fabrics, walls and rugs has become very popular this year. Instead, mixing a patterned wallpaper with a stone, wood or brick floor that has a shape and form, like herringbone or chevron, is a great way to play with patterns without looking chaotic.
-
Texture:
Using only one type of fabric in your home is a thing of the past. Textures are going to be utilised far outside of furniture and rugs this year. Tongue and groove boards on the ceiling add to architectural interest while injecting an earthy texture. Curtains can be used to filter light beautifully and add a softness to the room. Even lighting can provide texture to rooms, depending on the material used.
-
Rounded Edges:
The curvy furniture design trend 2022 is one that has more than survived the pandemic, it thrived. Furniture and decor with softer edges are both feminine and forgiving. The first can complement angled pieces more, while giving a romantic feel to a room.
-
3D Art:
We have seen a push towards 3D art in 2022. People are looking to add whimsey, intrigue and life to flat walls as we continue to spend more time in our homes. Any art that pops right off the wall, and can be configured in different ways, is going to be very popular this year.
-
Sustainability:
Sustainability has become a major issue for everyone, as it should. Looking into the sustainability of everything is a must and it is really excellent that so many designers are trying to learn what the best materials are to use for the long-term health of our ecosystem. Luckily, there is a lot to choose from!
-
Multifunctional Spaces:
Single-use spaces seem to be a thing of the past. In the light of architectural strides and design, we expect interior design trends in 2022 to feature nifty ideas on multifunctional rooms. Make the most of every nook and cranny with clean and innovative room-dividing tactics. There are a multitude of opportunities within any given room. Often many miss these by forgetting about the vertical space your room offers. Shelving, ladders, and platforms can open various doors and even function as room dividers.
To conclude, 2022 has been a year where old styles have come back, and new styles have been introduced.
Creative Architects itself has used these styles in multiple homes.
