INTERIORS & INTERIOR DESIGN
Multifunctional spaces
With many people having to combine their home with work during lockdown , an important trend for 2022 is developing multi-functional spaces . Interior design will see a shift away from single-use spaces and focus on nifty ideas to make the most out of the space in each room . Think clever and practical solutions - if you don ’ t have the luxury of a separate office , so a pull-down or stowaway desk is a great option . You can section off a larger room with a moveable partition for versatility , or use alcoves as storage or seating .
Home offices
Lockdown has seen an increase in people working from home and a move from the initial makeshift workstation on the dining table to trying to establish a dedicated space with peace and quiet . This can be tricky if you ’ re short on space , so we ’ ve written a handy checklist that will help you try and find a corner that will work for you .

TIPS
Location Ideally , you need a quiet area to work in , but if you can ’ t spare a whole room , try a foldaway desk that so you can shut off the office vibe at the end of the day .
Equipment Try and stay clutter-free to help minimise the space you need , and make sure any monitors , keyboards and chairs are set up correctly for perfect posture .
Storage If you need storage for equipment , choose items that complement or contrast with your existing décor to make a statement .
Colour Shades like soft blues , greens , and neutrals will create a calming effect , or go bold and bright to energise your mood .
Let the shapes do the talking ! Geometric patterned floors are one of the hottest trends of 2022 , taking flooring to the next level . Embrace the natural look with herringbone planks to draw the eye with a timeless style , or go vintage chic with a beautiful parquet floor . To really elevate the look , keep walls to a neutral colour scheme to let the flooring shine .
FURNITURE AND ACCESSORIES FOR 2022
Soft edges
The curvy furniture design trend is also another heirloom making a comeback . Furniture with softer edges can give a lovely soft feel to a room , in contrast to the usual sharp angles of traditional tables and chairs . Style your room with sumptuous C-shape sofas , round tables and curved chairs to snuggle in , to bring lightness and style into any room . A softer edge will work wonders to create a fresh and natural look
