Interior Design Trends 2022

Interior design is always a favorite to keep up with, especially after buying a home. What colors are we going to use for paint? What type of furniture? What do I want people to feel and think when they walk into my home? Although everyone has their s and taste these are the top trends we see staying for 2022.

One of the top trends we see staying for 2022 is vintage and retro. Any vintage pieces like old mirrors, desks, or couches to add to your home is a must for this coming year. It is a great way to add charm, history, and character to a room. With retro being back, you will likely see a lot of furniture with rounded edges that were once used in the 1980s. This style adds warmth and lightness to a room that hard-edged furniture lacks.

Another trend that will be continuing into 2022 is a nature-inspired look. As many of you already know, you can never have enough greenery and house plants. Not only does it help keep the air in your home clean and fresh, but it also adds interest to a space. Some of the best house plants to have are the snake plant, monster, and palm. Another way to keep a nature-inspired look is by choosing colors that match the materials in your house like stone greys, black, off-white, and natural woods. People are also veering towards more eco-friendly homes by using glass over plastic, reclaimed wood, bioglass, and recycled furniture and items. Adding more windows and natural wood into your home can also give it the nature-inspired feel people are shooting for in 2022.

Minimal will STAY. A huge trend that started in 2020, took over 2021, will STAY once again in 2022. Lightwood, clean lines, simple colors like white, black, and grey, will keep a room looking simple as well as highlight what the space’s purpose is. Another way to reach a minimalistic look is by sticking to one or two materials like wood or steel. Then, add more to the room by playing with textures like velvet which will be a popular one in 2022 as it was in 2021. Keeping a room organic and natural with its basic furniture needs no more or less will also help keep a minimalistic look. Going hand and hand with the minimalistic staying; functionality will also be a huge trend of 2022. Furniture with multiple functions is a must. Ways this can be seen are: Couches with storage compartments, end table with outlets already in them, and speakers used as a design piece. 

The use of vertical space will also be seen a lot in 2022. This can be seen in the use of ladders for a bookshelf or blanket ladders, as well as shelving and platforms. Another trend will be patterned floors--- Which will typically be geometric shapes in wood but also tiles. Some colors that will continue to pop in 2022 are green and burnt orange to match the more natural aesthetic that will be reached in 2022.

The Brooks Team is so excited to see how these trends and others play out in 2022 in our customers’ homes as well as designers’ homes.
