Much like fashion, interior design is run by trends, innovation and of course personal style. Finding your ideal home decor design takes time to find inspiration, fit yourself into a vibe and find the right interior designer. One of the biggest mistakes that home decorators can make is to consult a designer when it is too late in the process, which can drive up the costs of redecorating.
On your redecorating journey, look for sustainable pieces that will outlast short wave trends but find a happy medium with curating a modern home. Here are 10 interior design trends that are on the rise in 2022 to spruce up your living space if you are considering redecorating this year. For folks who are moving into a new space, keep these trends in the back of your mind as you start shopping for home decor.
10 50 Shades Of Brown
Brown is the new black and that style is overflowing to the interior design world. Furniture, paint and home decor will be popping up in various shades of brown from beige to chocolate.
It is a natural move from the interior design perspective because brown is an earth tone and still utilizes the natural light without overpowering the room with bright colors. See how shades of brown could be incorporated into your home decor.
9 Furniture With Sculpted Detail
Sculpted detail can mean a lot of things, but basically, instead of a sharp edge, it has some dimension sculpted into it. Think of the leg of a chair or table that has circular shapes at the bottom.
Or as pictured, this chair has been sculpted for better sitting. The idea of the design is to add somebody and dimension to otherwise straight furniture.
8 Decor From World Travels
Add some personality and uniqueness to your home by collecting home decor around the world. Buying ceramic plates in Italy, or Ottoman rugs in Morocco will make for great momentos that you can cherish every time you use them.
Interior design will see more unique editions to homes with decor that has traveled back with homeowners from vacation for creating a unique design. World travel items are ideal for a bohemian aesthetic but can be incorporated into any interior design.
7 Personal Artwork
Artwork is a form of expression in terms of making it but also choosing what you hang on your wall. You don't have to be an artist to love art and be intentional with what you choose to display in your home.
For folks on a budget, go to farmers' markets or art walks to seek out art that is lesser-known but fits your aesthetic. Supporting new artists is just as important as collecting art. Plus finding new artists that you vibe with makes your artwork unique and personal.
6 Modern Floral Accents
When people think of floral accents, they often imagine more of a 50's vibe or something that your grandparents might have, along with a matching tea set. Although, floral is coming back in a trendier way, with modern patterns and colors.
Having a touch of floral is just the right amount, these accents will be appearing all over 2022.
5 Lots Of Textures
Playing with texture is a fun way of decorating without going overboard on decor or using too many bold colors or patterns. Think about wicker rugs or decor, leather, metals lamps, and even velour.
Find textures that work together and that feel good when you use them. It is almost an art in itself to get the materials right.
4 Multipurpose Rooms
Interior design is always becoming more practical, including leaning into modular spaces. One room can be your home office, gym, guest room and storage space but with the right furniture, it doesn't feel overcrowded.
If you want to get more out of your space, imagine how you want to use it and discuss that with your interior designer when picking out decor.
3 SMART Technology In The Home
SMART technology is becoming more readily available through devices such as Alexa, but what about smart home systems? They are projected to increase in accessibility in the coming years including temperature controls, SMART light switches and appliance control.
2 Leather Furniture
Plush furniture and other soft materials have been reigning the scene, but leather is making a comeback. Leather is long-lasting and it does add a refreshing new-antique look to the room. From couches to chairs and even bed headboards, you can expect to see the rise of leather furniture.
Finding a nice antique piece could be a challenge but also a hidden gem.
1 European Inspired Outdoor Furniture
Everyone wishes they were sitting in a french cafe or an Italian balcony, so why not bring that vibe to your own outdoor space? Garden furniture is getting a makeover from being useful and easily stored to more permanent frames with antique accents for a dainty European vibe.
Think of Parisian or Italian inspiration when shopping for your new garden furniture.
