In-Style Home Trends for 2022

 

Staying at home for prolonged periods of time has left many of us with a desire to redecorate our spaces and align them with the current trends. Rearranging and redecorating can spice things up and give a fresh feeling to your home that is sure to lift the mood in 2022.

 

Keep reading to learn about the upcoming trends in 2022 and get a glimpse of what’s “in” in the world of interior design.

 

5 Key Interior Design Trends for 2022

Basic Colors

This has been an up-and-coming trend for the last several years and the pandemic helped establish it even further. More natural, neutral shades are now preferred by many, as they bring a sense of calmness to the home. 

 

This includes four main colors: black, white, grey, and beige. Beige tones and muted sage green are likely to be some of the most popular colors of 2022.

Rounded Shapes

More soft, feminine, and natural shapes will continue trending in 2022. The sharp, hard edges of the industrial modern design are losing popularity in place of rounded shapes and soft edges. This applies to coffee tables, chairs, sofas, vases, lamps, decor, and more.

Minimalism

During the pandemic, many of us tried to get rid of unneeded items (KonMari method, anyone?). This push towards functionality and mindful shopping has made minimalism the “it” trend when it comes to interior design. Some may consider this the beginning point for the other in-style home trends such as neutral colors. If you don’t know where to look for minimalistic decor pieces, try Viva Verde Home in Stanwood.

Nature-Inspired Interior Design

This is one of the main trends for 2021 and 2022, and it will likely remain popular for a long time to come. The idea is to use more nature-inspired materials and textures such as onyx, marble, granite, and wood. Bringing nature into the home in the form of patterns (woodgrain, bark, leaf veins, rock formations) and materials emphasizes a more organic and pure feeling.

Having a Home Garden

In a similar vein to nature-inspired design, plants are becoming the ultimate decoration. This is poised to become an even bigger trend in the future as the need to connect with nature and live in an eco-friendly way becomes more prevalent. To find plants that work for your spaces and your lifestyle, check out Cactus + Co. on Camano Island.

 

During the pandemic, many people started trying to grow plants inside their apartments and houses and found the activity enjoyable. As a result, the “greenhouse room” trend got started and is likely going to last for many years.

 

Honorary Mentions

Here are a few other promising trends for 2022:

 

  • Combined spaces with privacy (multifunctional spaces)
  • Zen interior design
  • Sustainable & organic materials

 

It’s fun to follow trends and refresh our spaces, but it’s important to remember that trends come and go quickly and you should always decorate for your own tastes!
