2021 has been a rollercoaster in the world of design. As we bid adieu to the year, the rampant curiosity of ‘what’s next in store?’ arises.
The year saw people inching towards normalcy with flexible work patterns and recreational activities. However, their homes continue to prevail as their primary centre of existence.
Seeing the shift in the pattern of lifestyle triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, comfort and stability will be the driving forces for interior design trends in 2022.
Interior design has seen a major evolution in recent years with the changing way of life.
Our home sees us tackling our personal and professional lives amidst the four walls. Hence, a proper distinction between them through interior design can break the monotonous routine.
We are aware that keeping up with trends is a strenuous task. However, with our well-curated list of upcoming interior design trends, you can stay put!
Play with Paints
The wall of your home is basically a plain canvas that can be painted and changed as and when you want. Who says there must be a proper way for you to get it done? Do you remember the times when you used to first enter your new office and the first thing that you would notice was the paint of the walls and would think how crazy it would have been if the wall behind the cabin would have been in a neutral shade instead of red or maybe black instead of white? All in all, what we are trying to say is go for what you think is right and not what you think the people may like and that’s when you will get it all right!
DIY Projects
Sometimes even after getting the best of all the combinations for our home, we are still unsatisfied. This may include changing the colour of your old furniture to making a new piece of furniture altogether. This is the best time for bringing out that artist in you. Change the shape of the room according to your requirement to make the space both your working and personal space. Add pictures, posters, wallpapers, but remember all of this is to be done by you.
Make Sustainable Choices
From our feelings to our clothes there is nothing that can’t be recycled. To be honest, the time that we all have gone through has made us all a recycled version of ourselves. So might as well let our furniture also get recycled and get to the root of sustainability. It is a myth that recycled products can’t be as appealing to the home, but rather adds up to the space. You can opt for recycled furniture made from glass or metal or else can opt for a handmade recycled version of furniture.
Clever Multifunctional Spaces
Versatile usage of space binds the house together, which will be a forthcoming trend. A well-structured layout helps in eradicating clutter. Since various individuals are working from home, a room can be converted into walking office space. It does not necessarily mean to incorporate a lot of furniture. All you need is a table that can be used for your coffee space as well as a working desk, a chair and maybe a lamp that can be turned on and off as per your requirement.
Moreover, your drawing room can serve as a space for your side hustle! In the age of the Internet, content creation is more than just a hobby. With a clever layout of the house, you can design a space that caters to your passion.
Statement Lighting
One thing that can completely change the outlook of a room is the lighting. It is very important that you choose the lights of your room in the correct order. No matter what the space is and how it looks, lighting is something that can completely change the face of the room. Go for lightings that are multipurpose that give you both dim and bright lights as per your requirement, try and find a light that has options of changing the colour as per your mood, like a warm yellow light for your night routine and maybe a bright wight light for all your house parties. LED lamps are a great investment since they emit various hues that add a pop of colour and dimension to your house.
Drink with Responsibilities
Remember those stressful responsibilities of your office, where you are required to meet your targets, attend meetings and at the same time be accurate with your work. Do you remember the thought that first struck your mind amidst the work stress? A glass of wine!
Now is the time you have the best opportunity! Renovate your bar space, incorporate it right beside your couch. Stand a stool that complements your bar and living space, sit with your laptop and enjoy your evening.
A Green Sanctuary
Pantone LLC recently announced the colour of the year 2022. Veri Peri as the name suggests was created keeping in the transition from the pandemic. It has been observed that through the course of working from home, people have taken a keen interest in horticulture and gardening. With a systematic layout of indoor plants, one can create a verdant niche. Incorporating indoor houseplants amplifies positivity and refreshes the overall energy in your abode.
Amalgamate Traditional and Modern Designs
It is not necessary for you to complete the theme traditionally or completely make it modern, rather you can keep the mix of both. A combination of both styles is actually a statement in itself nowadays. It is good if you want to keep some of the elements from your old home which could be anything from a dining table to a storage space to as simple as a candle. A little touch of the old items with new ones gives it a modern yet ancient look.
Use Heavy Marbles
The usage of heavy marble is simply because of the rich look that it brings into the room. It makes the space look neat and clean. You can choose from an array of options like rugged marble, plain slabs, textured marble, white marble, or even a coloured marble for that matter.
Culinary Quarters
Ironically, the COVID-19 pandemic has produced more home cooks across the globe!
Remember the time when individuals nonchalant about cooking went into a rampant bread-baking frenzy?
Since more individuals are doing more than just stirring pots in the kitchen, experts predict that technologically advanced kitchens will be the way to go!
Investing time and energy into the cooking area whilst personalising the elements of the kitchen’s interiors will surely aid the flow of energy in the kitchen.
More often than not, the psychological palette of an individual is stimulated by interior designs while food revives the sensory palettes. Hence, we suggest setting the mood board of the kitchen as you deem favourable. You may incorporate paintings, dark shades of paint, different geometric patterns along with a few planters.
In Conclusion
A home becomes a haven when you work smart with it, follow the path of upcycling, induce greenery, and make the space more comfortable and personalised. Evolving with the trends help individuals grow and nurture their way of life.
Our list of upcoming interior design trends will help create more efficient spaces in your house. We suggest you pin these inspiring ideas and consult a professional interior designer before turning them into a reality.
