IT’S TIME FOR OUR ANNUAL DESIGN TREND FORECAST!

The most frequent question I get asked as an Interior Designer is about UP-and-COMING trends, And I never get tired of answering IT! That’s why my annual design trendS forecast is my most favorite blog that I write all year!

as I’ve asked in years PRIOR, AND I’ll ask again, please don’t shoot the messenger! TRENDS ARE JUST THAT, TRENDS!

love them, hate them, use them or just laugh at them. The best trend will always be what you love!


BOLD WALLPAPER MURALS

NOT JUST ANY WALLPAPER MURALS THOUGH

THINK MORE SCANDINAVIAN NATURALS, URBAN ART & GRAFFITI, MODERN ART, MID-CENTURY MINIMALISM, ABSTRACT WATERCOLORS, EVEN COLORFUL POP-ART!

MURALS ARE COMING IN STRONG BECAUSE THEY MAKE SUCH A BIG IMPACT WITH LITTLE MONEY, TIME AND EFFORT! BUT BEWARE- MURALS ARE NOT FOR THE TIMID OR DESIGN CHALLENGED THOUGH! THEY CAN GO TERRIBLY WRONG IN A HURRY IF YOU DON’T HAVE A WELL THOUGHT-OUT DESIGN PLAN IN PLACE FIRST.

MURALS & WALLPAPERS STYLES TO AVOID IN 2022

  • MOST FLORALS- WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NURSERIES

  • REAL PHOTOGRAPHY URBAN VEIWS- CITYSCAPES, BRIDGES

  • SAYINGS & PHRASES- “LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE” OR THE LIKE

  • LOOK-A-LIKES- WOOD, STONE, TILE, ETC.

MURALS WE LOVE THAT YOU CAN PURCHASE ON AMAZON

KITCHEN ISLANDS

THEY’RE MORE THAN JUST A PRETTY FOCAL POINT IN A KITCHEN’S DESIGN

The kitchen island has been rising in popularity for years but has practically become A REQUIREMENT lately

If the kitchen is the hub of the home, then consider the island the hub of the hub of the home. Many homeowners are working with US to reCONFIGURE THEIR KITCHEN layouts to fit an island, large or small. Plus, kitchen islands seem to be taking on more duties these days. In addition to providing extra counter space and storage, many now HAVE BECOME THE ONLY DINING AREA IN THE HOME.

KITCHEN STYLES TO AVOID IN 2022

  • WATERFALL ISLAND COUNTERS

  • BLUE ISLANDS, IN ANY SHADE

  • ALL WHITE, GREY OR BLACK KITCHENS

  • SHAKER CABINETS

  • SUBWAY TILES

ISLAND DESIGNS YOU MAY NOT HAVE CONSIDERED

Wood Laid in Patterns

A Classic THAT’S ALSO ornamental

You get the beauty of a pattern and the warmth of wood WITHOUT THE REGRET!

herringbone wood floors are zigzagging into interiors, even IN contemporary HOMEs. OTHER PATTERNS TO CONSIDER- CHEVRON, DIAGONAL, EVEN AN UPDATED VESION OF PARQUET!

FLOORING STYLES TO AVOID IN 2022

  • PATTERNED TILE

  • MOSAIC FLOORING

  • TRADITIONAL CARPET. GO FOR BERBER INSTEAD

  • DARK WOOD

FLOORING PATTERNS WE LOVE

SHADES OF GREEN

BRINGING THE OUTDOORS INSIDE

The one color clients are asking for lately is green!

Warmer greens like olive WERE REQUESTED FREQUENTLY IN THE 2021 YEAR, but the palette has expanded to include emerald, eucalyptus, jade and teal. Rich mid-spectrum shades of green bring the outdoors inside.

PAINT COLORS TO AVOID IN 2022

  • SHADES OF BLUE

  • SHADES OF GREY

  • PINKS & VIOLETS

  • TANGERINE

  • LIGHT YELLOW

SOME OF OUR FAVORITE SHERWIN WILLIAMS GREENS

STATEMENT LIGHTING

Equal parts functional and fashionable

statement lighting allows HOMEOWNERS to spotlight their beautiful homes, while doubling as eye-catching artwork!

Many are on the hunt TO SWAP OUT THEIR HO-HUM FIXTURES for lighting LIKE sculptural pendants to standout sconces that reflects their own personal DESIGN style.

LIGHTING STYLES TO AVOID IN 2022

  • “BOOB” LIGHTS OF ANY TYPE

  • BRUSHED NICKEL FINISH

  • BARN LIGHTING

  • SWING ARM WALL LIGHTS

STATEMENT LIGHTING AVAILABLE ON AMAZON

MIXED DESIGN STYLES AND MATERIALS

AN ARTISTIC MINDED ELEVATED DESIGN

THE BOHO TREND HAS ALLOWED THIS DESIGN STYLE TO DEVELOP!

The desire to have unique things that are not like everyone else’s is leading to an increase in mixing materials in INTERIOR design. mixING materials like metal, wood, and velvet IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW HOMEOWNERS ARE ELEVATING THEIR HOME’S STYLE. WHILE THE NO RULES WHEN IT COMES TO MIXING COLORS AND TEXTURES IS SIMILAR TO THE BOHO TREND, THAT IS WHERE THEIR SIMILARITIES END. THIS TREND IS MUCH MORE ART FOCUSED WITH A MEANINGFUL REFINED DIRECTION.

INTERIOR DESIGN STYLES TO AVOID IN 2022

  • FARMHOUSE

  • TRADITIONAL

  • FRENCH COUNTRY

  • COASTAL

  • GLAM

WAYS YOU CAN MIX STYLES AND MATERIALS

Sustainably minded

investing in meaningless furniture and accessories is a thing of the past

Sustainability and use of organic materials have become prominent in recent years

2022 will see a further emphasis on sustainable materials, responsible manufacturing, and the reuse and resale of furniture and homeware. With the public's increased exposure to climate change, the idea of sustainability has fed into the interior industry and our homes. This will translate into how we buy furniture; a move towards furniture items with reclaimed woods and accessories with recycled glass and metal.

HOME RELATED ITEMS PEOPLE ARE AVOIDING

  • Traditional Incandescent Lights

  • VOC Paints and Coatings

  • Asphalt or Fiberglass Roofing

  • Cheap Insulation

  • CHEAP DECOR & FURNISHINGS FROM CHINA

SUSTAINABLE HOME ITEMS YOU CAN BUY ON AMAZON
