Interior Design Trends Spring 2022

Here are 5 ways to modernize your spaces in 2022:

Natural Elements - Bringing the outside in and green-ing up your spaces in 2022 offers a fresh reset to your daily routine. It’s never off trend to find yourself trying out your green thumb and reduce your carbon footprint on the planet. Traffic, pollution, bosses we hate, the multiple hats we wear on the daily drain us. Bring some fresh air into your space, gain new knowledge that will be the bridge to starting your own garden or learning how you grow your own food. If you can keep that cactus alive, maybe try a self-sustaining  aloe plant or a level two house plant like, elephant ears. 

Mindfulness Spaces- 2022 is full of reasons to be grateful. Some show gratitude through yoga and meditation. It's great to have a space in your home to attend mindfulness classes virtually. Anyone in need of a quiet space to recharge after a long day could include mindful elements such as: yoga mats, essential oil warmers, candles, singing bowls, crystals, or a book nook. Want to level up your mindfulness practice? Try hanging some sage or lavender across your quiet space to add a layer of aromatherapy.  

Multi Functional Spaces- Being stuck in the house for two years, we had to get creative and make the absolute most out of every inch of our spaces. Kids playrooms turned into classrooms, our bedrooms became gyms. Walk-in closets that were being used as our personal runways are now office spaces. Patios and sunrooms became yoga studios and we may have benefitted from having to change our perspectives about the number of ways our home could serve us. Look around and take inventory of where you could potentially double the value to your spaces. Maybe a space under the stairs can be converted to a book nook, or the guest bedroom transforms into a content haven. 

Sustainability- With all of the environmental concerns, sustainability is a bell ringer in almost every industry. In home design, it means curtains made from recycled fabric, plant-based leather couches and mattresses, and solar lighting. You can do your part by installing eco-progressive pieces such as smart windows, light color schemes, and water-efficient shower heads and faucets. 

Periwinkle- Donned “ Very Peri” by Pantone Color Institute, this slightly more intense version of the pastel pigment has been confirmed as the color of the year. Very fitting, considering its reminiscence to the lavender plant that always adds a pop of color and whimsy to every mixed bouquet. Consider small accents of “very peri” in the form of place settings in the dining room, or try it out with the guest bathroom towel set. If it moves you, dare to acquire a couch or set of chairs for the kitchen wrapped in periwinkle fabric.

Give one or two of these trends a spin, and transform not just your space but your lifestyle!
