A home is one of the most important place’s in any person’s life. After a challenging couple of years that led the majority of us to spend most of our time at home, the year of 2022 is an excellent opportunity to bring more comfort into our homes! Despite these trends & inspirations, the most important thing to remember is that the interior of your home needs to be comfortable & suitable for you & your family! It is time to refresh your home for the year ahead! Now let’s take a look at these interior design trends for 2022!

Shades of Brown

“Chocolate browns, camels and caramels—there has been so much color and pattern, especially pastels, the last few years and I think people will be ready for a palette cleanser.” -Mark D. Sikes

“Chocolate brown is back! And I for one as a ’70s baby am thrilled. But this time chocolate brown won’t only play with orange shag (cue my childhood living room) but also play well with other colors as a deep neutral for rich elegant timeless spaces.” -Danielle Colding, Danielle Colding Design

“Neutrals will take a bit of a back seat in 2022 as people start to experiment with color again, but the palette will stay very close to hues you’d find in nature. We predict paint rollers will be dipped in rosy, terracotta tones, swathing rooms from wall to ceiling for a complete monochromatic moment that envelops you in its coziness.” -Athena Calderone

Nature-Inspired Surfaces and Objects

“With more time spent indoors than ever before, we’re all seeking to strengthen our connection with nature. This has simultaneously inspired a resurgence in natural surfaces—think stoneware, terracotta, marble, and travertine being used across the board from backsplashes to bathtubs, furniture, and decorative objects. The raw, porous, imperfect nature of these organic materials adds depth, soul, and visual intrigue while also mimicking the calming, restorative ambiance of the outdoors. This lure back to nature has also sparked an interest in large trees at home, from the elegant black olive to Southern magnolias.” -Athena Calderone

“With folks looking to bring a little magic into their lives after a couple of very tough years, I see earth’s magical wonders taking center stage: objects made from sparkling crystals and swirling marbles, mushroom silhouettes, pieces that incorporate raw natural materials and exotic flora and fauna motifs.” -Justina Blakeney

Sculptural and Curved Furniture

“A curved form is subconsciously read as safe, friendly and welcoming. With everyone feeling a bit precious I think those softer shapes and angles will still be a big trend in 2022 in furniture as well as architecture.” –Sarah Sherman Samuel

 

“I love sculptural furniture. Our Catalpa series, named after a plant, is a perfect combination of nature and culture. ” -Robin Standefer

“More gracious and sensual shapes, curved edges and deep, luxuriant seats.” -Martyn Lawrence Bullard

Tactile Textiles and Textures

“We have been playing around with patterned jute to add more texture and depth to our spaces. I see a lot of people exploring different types of patterned jute, rush and abaca in 2022 as a way to expand that neutral foundation a rug provides and have some fun with pattern play.” -Jake Arnold, founder of The Expert

 

High-Tech Homes

“Design continues to evolve with new advances in technology. Myself and many designers are embracing virtual design by leveraging this powerful new technology to create immersive spaces and highly engaging designs that feel both contemporary and futuristic.” -Kelly Wearstler

Vintage and Sustainable Accents

“Whenever I can use vintage, I will. From a design standpoint, vintage is the protagonist of every room—it has the power to influence the storytelling and direction. Their patina brings a touchable texture and warmth to every space, not to mention a sacred sentimentality. But aside from their decorative propensity, these rare antiquities are stylishly sustainable. By repurposing the old, the damaged, the jagged into something new, we’re reducing our footprint while bringing a rich sense of history and spirit into a space.” -Athena Calderone

 

“We are starting to see lots of new brilliant options for sustainable fabrics and materials. I think this should now be a priority for all designers.” -Marcus Barwell, Managing Director of Soho House Design

Leather Furniture and Upholstery

“1989 is calling and it wants … Sade, Lisa Stansfield-soft Italian leather sofas, Calvin Klein home, Armani Casa, and Terence Conran back!” -Robert McKinley, founder of Studio McKinley

“Leather in rich tones offset cooler metals and have the ability to tell a story over time as they wear through use—we shouldn’t be afraid of age showing its face.” -Erick Garcia
