In the wake of recession, social unrest and a global pandemic, householders will desire to surround themselves with constructive influences and joyful design. Art, color, shape and materials all feed into this aesthetic of positivity for Spring Summer 2022.

The Inspired Home Show has teamed up with global trend agency TrendBible who shares a preview into its “Sunny State” trend, which forms one of four trends published in TrendBible’s Spring Summer 2022 Home & Interiors trend book.

Living Life to the Full

This playful, upbeat trend is bold and proud, dialing up community spirit, kindness and togetherness. We look back to look forward as nostalgic references on the cusp of the 1970s offers solace through a sense of familiarity.

Bold, maximalist homes play with sophisticated combinations of vibrant brights and upscaled graphic stripes and prints. Kitchens are designed for communal living, interacting in multifunctional ways, centered around the family. The role of tableware in the future will be to build connection. This speaks to real family living, enriching life in the home via creativity and entertainment.

Graphic Stripes and Color Blocking

Bold, chopped or fractured stripes are used across statement decor pieces. Pair bolder colors with a neutral color to commercialize the broad stripe. Color blocking gets a makeover with dissected shapes and unusual off-beat color combinations.

Sunny Color Combinations

A playful palette of optimistic color pops uplifts spirits in uncertain times. Clean pastel shades are merged in new zesty combinations. Sunshine yellows are key throughout, with a number of shades that can be combined for a nod to the ‘70s. Play with bold maximalist combinations that excite and surprise.

Pastel colors adorn cook and dine products, bringing a sunny optimism to the most practical of kitchen products. Lilac and lemon combinations can be used in something as transient as wall art, or as permanent as a piece of furniture.

Playful Shapes

There are no simple shapes in this story; scalloped edges, wiggly lines and wobbly shapes add a playful dimension to home products. Jelly molds and retro milk glass inspire decorative accessories, while wavy lines bring a sense of playfulness.

Sunny State provides the perfect antidote to the seriousness of modern life. As Gen Z begins to influence the interiors market, we’ll see the importance of joy and whimsy grow as well as the power of nostalgia. It’s important not to take life too seriously.
