The trends that dominate decoration in 2022

This year things have changed somewhat, but pluralism remains! On the one hand, neutral colours, minimalism and clean lines prevail. And on the other hand, 2022 "screams" nature, vintage and contrasts. No matter which "camp" you belong to, one thing is certain, this year's decorating trends wink at natural and recyclable materials, wood, beautiful fabrics and special embellishments. In addition, comfort and functionality are an end in themselves.

Neutral colours

This year "embraces" a more neutral colour palette in terms of decoration, which lends a sense of peace and tranquillity. After all, with the pandemic staying home - and previously due to the repeated lockdowns - everyone pretty much sought calm within themselves, and within their homes. And it is certain that basic colours such as white, grey or beige on walls, furniture and fabrics have this "ability". Earthy tones, the variety of textures and materials, and raw unfinished surfaces allow us to express our uniqueness, shaping our personal space in such a unique way. So, if you're thinking about making a change in your space, move to these shades!

Velvet on furniture


Velvet has always added a luxury and a warmth to any space you encountered, and it represents the same in 2022: Class and Luxury Coziness. If you're looking for a way to upgrade your home, you can opt for a velvet upholstered sofa in emerald - royal blue is a good choice as well as bronze or gold - or a similar armchair to "fill" a corner of your home with grandeur. This addition alone will make you see your living room in a different light! You can even upgrade your living room dining table with dining chairs upholstered in petrol-coloured velvet for more personality, or in taupe (grey-beige) for a modern but always timeless effect.

Creating an indoor garden with plants everywhere


Plants have firmly established themselves as a top trend for interior design in recent years and this continues into 2022. After all, what's better than a mini green paradise in the middle of an urban apartment? But since your time and your knowledge of gardening are probably quite limited, it's best to choose artificial indoor plants. In recent years they have evolved so much in appearance, quality and image fidelity that you can't tell them apart from their natural counterparts. Artificial plants solve home and office decoration problems in no time. They turn dark, unused corners into little paradises. Fresh greenery relaxes us and brings our space to life. Even Feng Shui experts confirm this. Don't even think about it, start looking for those plants that suit your home.

Minimalism

Once again, minimalism is leading the way and this decorative trend is being adopted in droves across the globe. In fact, architects and interior designers are highly recommending it. Don't forget also that quarantine has brought to the fore the need for a space to be simple, comfortable and functional. So choose some beautiful monochrome furniture and don't indulge in decorative extremes. Minimalism doesn't indulge in a lot of frills and embellishment, so think... abstract! Simplicity and sharp visuals will make your space unique!

Marble

When the conversation turns to the presence of marble in a space, everyone agrees that it is a timeless and sophisticated material that offers luxury and value. Trends may be constantly changing, but marble remains! Every marble is different and can add a special touch to your space, whether it's a kitchen with marble countertops, a marble coffee table in the living room, or a marble top in the dining room combined with a glass display case. Use it right!

Straw and bamboo for a more boho mood

Furniture made of natural materials such as straw and bamboo, with references to Greece in the 1960s and 70s, are back, bringing a more boho vibe to our homes. Choose a bamboo or rattan bed headboard, chairs or a side table. Even dressers or wardrobes. Wicker lamps are also an interesting choice. In addition, a bamboo chair is the ultimate trend for this year. These materials go perfectly with earthy tones and promise that your home decor will break away from the trivial.

«Yes» to wooden furniture

Wood offers warmth and style to a space, while suggesting a certain nobility! Whatever decorating style you have in your home, a few touches of wood will blend in perfectly. You can put a wooden bookcase with thin shelves behind your desk, a special coffee table in the living room, or a minimalist wooden bedside table by your bed, or even a solid wood dining table and even a buffet. The options are endless, don't limit yourself!

Furniture with curves

This year strict lines and layouts are "softened" with more curved and rounded furniture. In 2022 we are putting more emphasis on tables, lamps, poufs, sofas, vases, candlesticks, etc. without corners. In addition, round mirrors are an item that all interior designers suggest for this year.
