The start of a new year is always a time to reflect on the previous year and look forward to new opportunities with a fresh outlook. Because so many areas of our lives have been unpredictable in recent years, the way we view and use our homes has changed tremendously.

It has acted as our central haven of comfort, amusement, work-life balance, and creativity more than ever before. We’re also overly conscious of how the aesthetics of our interiors may affect our energy and mood, which is why homeowners are looking for designs that create emotions of tranquillity, familiarity, and comfort.

As a result, we predict rich and comfortable colour palettes like burgundy, earthy greens, and creamy neutrals to dominate interior design trends in materials and colours in 2022. People are gravitating to soft and tactile materials to bring visual interest, warmth, and refinement to their homes, and dynamic textures are poised to dominate this year.

As we begin this new chapter, let us embrace a new perspective on these top trends that can assist to inspire and nurture the soul.

With over a year of watching events unfold in the northern hemisphere, it’s no surprise that many home trends for 2022 have a European influence – colours, lifestyle, and entertaining are all reflecting a particularly Mediterranean aesthetic, and with our climate and newfound yearning for freedom, things look set to stay outdoors.

There’s enough to inspire you this year, whether you want to introduce a brand-new concept for your home, such as a new dramatic colour scheme, or simply incorporate some modest trends, such as more house plants or biophilia.

Design trends are also changing. 2022, like every other year, will usher in a slew of fresh interior design trends to keep an eye on.

Over at EZ Living Interiors, they have created an infographic that takes a deeper look into ‘Interior Design Trends 2022’.
