Even before COVID-19 lockdowns had people spending an increased amount of time indoors, studies showed that having plants in your home can improve concentration and reduce stress levels as well as improve indoor air quality. Now that we’ve settled into a work-from-home lifestyle that’s seemingly here to stay, it’s only natural that people are trying to fi nd ways to bring the outdoors into their homes. Biophilic (a tendency to seek connections with nature) design principles have steadily risen in popularity in recent years, with an emphasis on creating calming, plant-fi lled environments that establish a visual connection with nature. In 2022, it looks like our collective love for lush indoor environments will continue to bloom.

According to a recently released report, which analyzes emerging global trends based on fi ndings between October 2019 and September 2021, searches for “biophilic architecture” increased by 150 percent during that period. The terms “biophilic design bedroom,” “staircase garden,” and “fl oral ceiling” also jumped up signifi cantly. But it’s not just greenery-fi lled living and working spaces that will fl ourish in the year ahead: Green-painted interiors—from playful accents on kitchen cabinets to fully painted living room walls—will be ubiquitous too.

A New Coat of Paint

Major brands like Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams have included various shades of green on their lists of top paint colours for 2022. Flora- and fauna-patterned wallpapers and fabrics will also be popular picks to add playful touches to spaces throughout the home. Whether you embrace the trend by nurturing your own indoor garden or decking out your interiors with emerald and moss-toned accents.

Also, you can expect to see more tactile materials—wood, plaster, bronze, and leather—and fi nishes with textures derived from nature. There will also be greater use of textures like raked plaster, rougher clay, or grainy stuccos. These have been popular interior fi nishes because they’re so durable and can be made water-resistant.

Going Vintage

Many experts agree that a growing number of consumers are seeking out vintage, antique, and handcrafted furnishings and decor for their homes. Since slowing down has given people the opportunity to explore hands-on activities like ceramics, painting, and baking, we’ve seen a draw toward craft pieces that can be appreciated even more now that there’s an understanding of how challenging they are to make.

Multi-Generational Spaces

With the continuation of hybrid and remote workplaces into 2022, fl exible live/ workspaces that accommodate the needs of various generations under the same roof are paramount. Owners are now wanting homes to be ideal places to not only live, but also a place where they can work, where children can learn, and where multiple generations can live together— and where there’s a possibility that the dwelling can be used as a rental property.

The obvious spark that ignited this trend was COVID-19, but it has been ramping up for years due primarily to improved technology enabling more people to work remotely, as well as multi-generational living arrangements resulting from high costs of housing and eldercare.

While open fl oor plans once soared in popularity, the trend may taper off in 2022 in favour of layouts that distinguish between living and working spaces and provide opportunities for privacy. Re claimed wood and stone will be popular elements in both architecture and interior design in 2022. The upward trend toward repurposing existing materials can extend to construction methods too. More and more, we fi nd ourselves working to improve the performance of existing historic structures rather than building anew. We’ve seen this trend emerge steadily over the years, with clever projects ranging from barn conversions to warehouse renovations.
