The New Year is all about a clean slate, renewed goals, and making exciting changes. So, if one of your resolutions is to give your home a little (or big) makeover, there are a few aspects to keep in mind. Just as last year was all about blending style and comfort as we continued spending more time at home, 2022 will focus on that but change up color palettes and furniture choices. These are the 6 interior design trends that industry pros say will be everywhere. Happy decorating!
Shades of Green

After a year or two of being stuck inside, it is no surprise that the color of nature will reign supreme during 2022. A comforting reminder of the beloved outdoors, green will begin edging out blue as the most popular color to decorate with. From pillows and bedspreads to paint and tile work, there are so many ways to incorporate the soothing hue. Go ahead; make us green with envy!
Curved Lines

Divert from the straight and narrow because “curve” is the word this year. While sharp angles and straight lines can come across as harsh, soft lines and rounded forms offer a softer and more calming vibe. Consider introducing curved kitchen islands and bars, rounded couches and circular pools.
Warm Neutrals

Out with the contemporary design of crisp whites and steely grays. Instead, try incorporating richer, earthy shades like creams, beiges, nudes and taupes. Don’t be afraid to add in soft pink undertones for a happy vibe. Think walls, upholstery and other furniture for a comforting and cozy atmosphere.
Layers of Texture

Just as with fashion, layers and texture are in when it comes to interior design. According to designer predictions, anything that adds comfort, personality and coziness, including fringe and decorative trim, will be popular this year. In order to achieve the sought-after layered look, mix a variety of materials including wood, metal and highly textured fabrics. Even walls can receive a textured treatment through products that mimic plaster.
Mixing Vintage and New

There is no need to go out and purchase all new furnishings. More and more these days people are mixing in vintage pieces with more modern design. While it might have to do with supply-chain shortages and backorders, repurposing vintage items is not only eco-friendly but extremely desirable.
Biophilic Design

Along with most of the other expected styles, this trend of biophilic design is all about bringing the outdoors in through natural materials and plants. From a few pots here and there to plant-covered walls and unique hanging installations, it is all about being comforted and connected with nature.
