2022 Interior Design Styles to Elevate Your Home Decor Aesthetic

It’s time to find out about the best decor styles coming in 2022 so that you can create a stunning new home look that you love. 

Towards the New Year many homeowners like you are decluttering, popping seasonal items into the cheap self storage unit and generally freshening up the house. This is a great idea anyway, because who doesn’t want to go into the next year with a lovely clean and minimalist home? It’s also extra exciting for homeowners who enjoy keeping up with the latest trends, such as mindfulness in the home, and decor styles because an entire new year of inspiration is enroute! 

To help you prepare for 2022 when it comes to perfecting your home aesthetic, here are some of the top 2022 interior design styles coming up in the year ahead: 

Patterned Floor Tiles

Herringbone wooden flooring is going to take off in a big way so if you’re looking for a hard flooring style that is going to last a long time, this could be a great idea. If you want something a little more interesting visually, retro floor tiles are going to have a big moment. Think traditional tile flooring and geometric patterns adding a real interest to an aspect of the room usually designated as a neutral. 

Velvets Back

Once thought of as a heavy and rich fabric far too opulent for most modern home designs, velvet is back to add texture and depth to a room. Velvet will be used in contrasting thickness as a way to add a feature to a space whether that is with thick beautiful curtains or having an entire sofa covered in the stuff. It’s a glamourous, luxurious material that has a place in home decor 2022. 

Bye Bye Sharp Geometrics 

Curves are back to soften up the geometric lines and shapes we have seen the most in tiling, furniture, designs and other aesthetics in the last few seasons. It makes things more warm and accessible and falls quite easily into other popular decor styles like cottage core, speaking of which…

Cottage Core Reigns Strong

Cottage core or ‘granny chic’ is a style that mixes the old and the new, replicating the comfort of nostalgia, chintz and eclectic items from your cheap self storage unit by www.storing.com, charities shops or antiques fares, and newer pieces. It continues to build in popularity as we all seek comfort after the last few years have been so very challenging. 

Broken Plan

Broken plan is where open plan is the base style of a home, but glass partitions, attractive screens and even glass bricks are used to divide these spaces. It’s a method used to help work beyond the challenges of a true open plan space, which can blend the noise and needs of a family together in a way that is undesirable for many households. 

Bold Colour Accent Walls

Accent walls have always been in style, but they have commonly been a patterned wallpaper or strong design. 2022, however, calls on the bright bolds to create an accent wall that adds some real personality to the space. Greens of all kinds feature, as well as some strong ocean blues and pinks (although, it’s most important to use the colour you love, not the one that’s on trend). 

Living Room Bars

Living room bars have been a trend in the past, but they haven’t been in the spotlight for a while. As the world moved away from drinking out in bars and clubs, we all became our own cocktail mixers at home, and so naturally there needs to be a proper space to hold all these new liqueurs, mixers and fancy glasses. Whether you make yours from a mirrored cabinet, or a reclaimed vintage globe drinks holder, the living room bar is a must have in 2022. 

Coloured Glass

One key accessory you will see in 2022 is coloured glass. Think bright bottle blue, unusually shaped coloured bottles, bright glass doorknobs and glass lamp bottoms. Coloured glass may also come in the form of crafty window hangers, coasters and plant holders.

If you can find your glass vintage or made by local artists even better. 

Letting Nature In

Houseplants continue to be a big hit in the home as they become an easy way to have more nature in the home in a literal sense. In addition, you will see items that may have been more plastic before like light fittings, accessories, pots and frames being made from glass, wood, metals and stone. It’s a way to be more sustainable and bring nature into where we live, rejecting plastic which we make 380 million tons of every single year. We are also going to see more light in the home as larger floor to ceiling windows, mirrors and glass are used in the home to let the outside flood in. 

Black Accenting

Black accenting might seem a little harsh, but it’s a way to add some more depth and strength in decor styles where light and bright natural materials fall a little flat. Think dark industrial metals, black rimmed mirrors and black window frames. It’s a little bit of mood and class without making a space dark and dingy. 

Bye Bye Carpets

Carpets are often made up of lots of plastic and they can be difficult to maintain, depending on your home. 2022 will see more hard flooring like geometric tiles, wooden flooring and for warmth, rugs will be used. 

The Fight Against Consumerism

Consumerism is a huge problem and whilst Scandi-minimalism has been popular with its beautiful aesthetic, 2022 will be when we all embrace the true depth of this design style for its anti-consumerism vibe. Minimalism looks beautiful but when you learn about the ethos behind living like a minimalist, that is when your life truly transforms.
