INTERIORS & INTERIOR DESIGN
Black accents
Building on the neutral trend for 2022 , black accents really pop against soft greys , beiges and whites . There are so many black accents to choose from , whether you opt for a kitchen splashback , mirrors , bathroom fittings or even black doors . Be mindful when considering black fabrics for your home as some of them will show every speck of dust !
Light floors
Light floors can help to bounce light across the room , allowing natural light to shine brightly and making the room appear larger . A lighter floor choice can help you achieve a more minimalistic look , which you can complement with soft textures and furnishings or add a pop of colour with bright artwork and accessories . A light floor can also look fantastic against dark walls , an effect you can even try in smaller rooms for a cosy sanctuary-like feel .
70s retro style
The laidback 70s has been inspiring interior design choices for a while now , with rattan , hanging chairs , macramé and Terrazzo creeping back into modern homes . For 2022 , think groovy nostalgia with open plan living , bright exuberant colours , technicolour highlights and geometric shapes . And if you want orange walls and a shag carpet , go for it !
Polka dots
Polka dots in interior design may not be a brand new trend , but you ’ ll definitely spot ( pun intended ) this funky retro print in homes and on the fashion runways in 2022 . The iconic polka dot is a style that isn ’ t just for children , polka dots can add a lot of youthfulness and happiness to your home with their fun optical effect . Polka dots are all about making a statement that can become a great focal point for any interior space , whether you go full-on floor or wall , or add splashes of spots with bedding , decals or artwork .
INTERIOR DESIGN STYLES FOR 2022
Japandi
You might not think Japan and Scandinavia have much in common , but when it comes to design , each aesthetic focuses on comfort , natural elements and simplicity . This has given rise to the term " Japandi " combining Scandinavian functionality and Japanese rustic minimalism , a blend of function and form . Think clean lines , bright spaces , and light colours , and take a less-is-more approach featuring organic and natural décor to create a beautiful calming aesthetic .
