Popular Home Design Trends for 2022
The new year is an excellent time to start fresh, not only in your personal life and career but also in your home design. If you seek to revamp your space and get a sense of which design trends are suitable for your home, here are some popular home design ideas that will rule 2022:
Use of Versatile Materials
High-pressure laminate is one of the most versatile and functional materials, as it’s durable and impact and scratch-resistant, perfect for high-traffic areas, cupboard doors, cubicles, shelving units, and other spaces. It’s often used in modern furnishings due to its versatility and lifespan of about 5 to 15 years.
It’s also available in a wide range of colors and patterns to match any space. HPLsfeature low heat conduction, so extreme temperatures don’t get too hot or too cold. Additional layers of plastic are also added to make it waterproof. You can install it in areas with a high moisture level as it’s resistant to moisture and humidity.
Another versatile material you can choose for your home design in 2022 is wood. It’s traditional yet modern due to its texture, grain patterns, and colors that can elevate any interior design. For instance, oak wood is a perfect choice for flooring and modern furniture as it has a beautiful grain that enhances any interior design.
Beechwood is easily malleable, making it a popular material for cabinets, cutting boards, flooring, and chairs. It’s also non-porous and features a strong surface, so it will last against chipping, pressure, and gouging compared with other varieties of wood.
Improved WFH Spaces
More people will prefer functional work areas with ergonomic furniture, more privacy, good lighting, and a relaxing view. Start with a good table that’s comfortable and accommodates all the things you need within reach. You can opt for long tabletops mounted in the wall or closet, console tables with metal bases, or traditional tables with shelves and pull-out stands.
Other important factors to consider in your office are lighting and a comfortable chair. Your lighting choices depend on the size of your office. Local lamps will do if you’re in the living room or bedroom. But if you’re in a more spacious space, you can opt for full lighting, such as ceiling suspensions, chandeliers, or diode lighting that illuminate an entire space.
Your office chair should provide a good level of comfort, so choose something that’s moderately deep and wide, with headrest and footrest features. Popular designs include retro upholstered chairs on wooden legs, minimalistic models, wicker chairs, and heavy chairs with a solid wood back.
Nature-inspired Designs
Natural materials and colors, live plants, and huge windows that look out the garden will continue to demand as more people want to incorporate elements that represent their surroundings. Elements of nature are known to invigorate and offer mental health benefits, so connecting them to your home will improve your well-being and happiness.
Most people want to have a nature-inspired kitchen since it’s the busiest place in the house. You can achieve this by choosing natural materials for focal areas such as cabinets, countertops, and kitchen islands. Solid wood features the most natural look, and when you use it without any finishes or stains, it has a beautiful weather-beaten effect.
Enhanced Outdoor Spaces
Due to the pandemic, more families appreciate open-air spaces and prefer to spend more time there. Revamp your outdoor living space by following one of the most popular trends: creating a smooth transition between the indoor and outdoor areas as if the two places are in the same room. The trick is to use the same flooring and fabrics in both areas to achieve that perfect look.
Infuse Your Interior with the Color Green
Different variations of the color green are going to be popular in 2022. You can start incorporating it into your home by having a green accent wall for a dramatic effect or make a statement by having eye-catching green tiles. You can also play with various textures with different shades of green for a beautiful effect.
Aside from the color, green also means adopting sustainable practices and opting for eco-friendly products. Green buildings and green architecture will also be more popular by next year.
These are the top trends that we expect to see by next year. Applying these excellent improvements in your home will allow you to expand your creativity and have a sanctuary that you’ll look forward to coming home to every day.
