This year, interior trends will revolve around reclaiming spaces previously used for home offices, a renewed interest in bringing the inside in and as it turns of many of the trending interiors of this year are iterations of what we’ve seen in recent years, but not because of lack of creativity rather the pandemic rendered us to go with the familiar and hang on to our personal tastes, needs and lifestyle to express our individuality and exclusiveness.
Dwellers will be more confident with the choice of colour palette as this year rings in new hope and positivity for the future. From houseplants to decorating with consciousness, 2022 is an interesting year from interior design. Read through to get a sense of the top design trends that will rule our living spaces this year.
Sustainability in home decorating and materials
A more green choice in home decor and the rise of biophillic trend will be top of mind in 2022. Materials used at home will be more natural and produced sustainably that moved away from mass production with responsible design.
Multipurpose spaces
The makeshift home office or study/teaching space will somewhat remain as we embrace hybrid working but this isn’t the only reason to create multifunctional spaces. As dwellers rethink the way they live, it is less about the aesthetic but rather how they feel at home.
Bedroom sanctuary
As we have been in perpetual lockdown the last two years, many of us are doubling up our bedroom as home office or study room. In 2022, the bedroom will return to a calm, peaceful sanctuary to retreat to. Compartmentalising will be big this year.
Biophillic designs
Like last year, biophillic design will rule this year bigger and better. With more adopting conscious design in decorating our homes, home owners are looking at bringing nature into interior design.
Colourful interior
This year colours will rule our homes as many of us are feeling positive with renewed hope towards a better year. Shades of blues, purples, greens, yellows, oranges and pinks will be a common choice to bring out the playful side of the dweller and we are excited to see more colours injected into living spaces.
Organic and curvy shapes
The love for nature at home doesn’t just mean colours and plants but also the furnishings and decor to achieve the natural look. Expect to see more rounded edges and more organic home decor and furniture in 2022.
Statement lighting
Lighting will be a combination of function and fashion this year. As statement lighting will allow folks to spotlight their homes and doubles as eye catching artwork.
