2022 BEDROOM TRENDS

From furniture specialist , BA
BA , one of the UK ’ s leading manufacturers of factory-built , bespoke and made-to-measure kitchens and bedrooms and specialist components reveal the latest furniture trends , which are set to influence the UK bedroom and wardrobe market in 2022-23 .
Nuala Brady , Group Marketing Manager at BA says , “ Given how lifestyles have changed in the last two years , flexible design solutions have really come into their own , becoming a great way to add value in the bedroom and cater to the virtues of hybrid living as more people work from home . As dedicated office space is now a real consideration , 2022-bedroom trends are placing an emphasis on multilateral design schemes that are tailored to both the space and individual .
If we consider the last two years alone , then the bedroom has become ‘ all things to all people ’ and key areas of focus will prioritise well-considered door design and furniture suites , which capitalise on every inch of available storage space .”
Find out how you can ensure your bedroom and wardrobe space is on trend in 2022-23 , with the following advice by BA :
DOORS : Enhanced by a range of accessories and interior options , we are finding that sliding doors remain the frontrunners in the lifestyle bedroom thanks to their space saving qualities . Where a hinged pocket-style door requires enough space to swing open , sliding doors operate sideways and this makes them the ideal solution in the compact bedroom , guest room and more recently , home office . Bi-fold doors are just as practical , regarded in the bedroom as a low maintenance solution that provides easy access to the full width of your closet with half the floor space : especially when compared to a hinged door arrangement .
STYLE : The love for contemporary and traditional bedrooms continues in equal measure , however we are seeing new appetite for the blended space , which is taking elements from both interior styles to create one complete look . For instance , the slab door usually associated with contemporary bedroom schemes is now being paired with classic wood finishes and decorative hardware and this is helping to bridge the gap between old and new . More recently , we are noting a desire for opposing furniture styles in the same scheme where different doors like slab and inframe are now coming together to create a bedroom that is designed for all .
