GLAM WALLS
Dressing plain walls is a prominent interior trend right now . Bold and eye-catching wallpaper is very in vogue right now but not always possible to undertake in a rented home or period property . However , an alternative to wallpapering to add equal interest to a plain wall is to use large framed artwork . Choose prints and textile art showcased by a plain wall backdrop . Textural art is a huge trend this year , inspired by nature . Antique mirror panels are huge in luxury interiors and one of my favourite combinations is teaming textural wallpaper with an oversized antique mirror , this creates a really luxe finish .
SPATHROOMS
2022 is all about the spathroom ! A spa-like bathroom is no longer the preference of those who live in mansions . Even modest-sized bathrooms can elevate their bathroom to embrace this welcome trend . Marble is the preferred choice for those with large budgets but choosing natural stone mimics this look at a more
competitive price point . Keeping your bathroom furniture minimalist and storing away everyday items to keep it clutter-free and allowing for more space to showcase your luxury bath products adds to this look . Soaking tubs , hot tubs and baths with whirlpools are all trending when elevating the home spa experience . Walk in showers and ‘ raindance ’ showers with heated flooring are the ultimate 2022 luxury for the home . Tick the whole trend or take elements that work for your home and budget .
BOLD COLOUR & PATTERN
BOTANICAL
The trend to bring the outside indoors is undoubtedly a strong movement we have seen grow within interiors since the Pandemic started as people confined to their homes during lockdown came to appreciate the tranquillity that fauna and flora in the house can bring . This trend to bring nature inside has seen a boom in earthy colour tones , natural fabrics and an explosion in ‘ garden rooms ’. Bathrooms have also become more than just a functional space ; they have also become a place for relaxation . Whether it ’ s wetrooms or freestanding baths , the desire to share your bathroom with greenery has commanded both hanging and floor to ceiling planting to create an oasis of calm .
Bold colour and pattern are trending for 2022 . From soft furnishings , accessories , furniture , art and wallpaper , big and bold are on trend this year . Whether you choose a neutral base palette and add accents to highlight this trend or go all out on this interior movement , tropical , geometric , and retrospective are significant themes for the stylish home this year . interiorkollection . com
