Rowe’s Top Five 2022 Interior Design Trends:
5
Dual-Purpose Rooms - The pandemic has resulted in our homes becoming the main settings of our lives: where we work, sleep, and socialize which has influenced the majority of the home design trends for 2022. Every inch of our home must serve some sort of purpose whether it be a functional or aesthetic one.
As we get into another year of COVID-19 variants, our living spaces continue to double as our work rooms. Rooms will be designed for multi-functionality and adaptability; i.e. guest rooms fitted with desks, bedrooms equipped with exercise equipment.
Elevated Outdoor Areas and furniture Entertaining spaces had taken a backseat but in 2022, homeowners are reinvesting in their entertaining spaces. Outdoor furniture will
become more sophisticated and refined as we continue to spend more time entertaining outdoors. Our patios become extensions of our interior décor.
Calming Natural and comfortable Interiors - People need healing spaces that are restorative and calming. Earthy tones of greens to be paired with other nature-inspired
colours—like blues, warm browns, and soft greys. Overall, people want a cozy look and feel in 2022. Expect to see cosy textiles, subtle colours, and soft-edged pieces.
Curvy furniture and organic shaped design - As we continue to shift away from straight-lined minimalism and toward cosier interiors, our furniture is getting softer and
more sculptural. 2022 is going to be full of round-edged, organically shaped furniture providing an environment of comfort and calm.
Sustainability - which will hopefully continue as a leading design trend forever. People are more conscious about how environmentally friendly their purchases are. This could mean repurposing old furniture,
shopping and supporting local furniture and product designers instead of mass-produced replicas from China and buying responsibly sourced items.
