For 2022, organic textures and natural tones are still popular.

As we strive to simplify our surroundings and make more sustainable decisions, the use of raw materials such as light woods, granite and marble, clay, linen, and natural fibres like wool and rattan has been prominent in 2021 and shows no signs of slowing down.

With more time spent at home than ever before due to the global pandemic, interior trends have been predicted with a focus on establishing liveable and multifunctional spaces and a tendency to steer clear of passing fashion trends, our homes are more significant than ever.

This year there is a greater emphasis on exploring textures on walls and floors using limewash and plaster techniques, textured wallpaper, herringbone, or chevron patterns.

Overall, there is a shift in behaviour towards our living spaces that favours caring, peaceful, and pleasant settings, and that trend is expected to last.Trends are so much more than ‘what’s hot right now’ - they’re a lifestyle choice. Come with us as we explore the evolution in styles and design movements that are doing big things this year.

Read on, and we will explore the top 7 Trends that are happening right now!

  1. Bring Nature Indoors and Establish a Connection with it.

The idea that it is beneficial for us to feel linked to nature while we are indoors at work, rest, and play is promoted by biophilic design. On an architectural level, this entails ensuring that there is an abundance of natural light and fresh air, as well as using raw materials like concrete, stone, raw wood, and lots of indoor plants, fresh flowers, and leaves. However, studies have shown that even pictures of nature can make you feel calmer in your environment.


  1. Use artisanal and handmade items to decorate.

By avoiding "quick furniture" and embracing the classic elegance of artisanal crafted or one-of-a-kind beauties, you may make your home distinctive. People will likely make careful investments in items to be cherished for a lifetime in 2022.

  1. Adopting a retro aesthetic suitable for the present

You're in luck if your definition of fun includes rattan anything, striking patterns, a hanging chair, or a statement sofa. The endearing and jovial throwback fashions of the 1970s are back. Keep it current by incorporating a few components into a modern space. To get started, consider a collection of striking cushions, or add a few rattan accents to bring this cool style inside.

  1. Structural elements and curved contours

Curves and furniture with a structural character are still popular. Designers continue to prise these elements because they add a sense of comfort, tranquilly, and fluidity to a space while also injecting it with a significant amount of personality and interest. These elements can be built-in architectural features or the soft curves of a sofa, hanging chair, or tables.

  1. Maximizers, Gather Here!

Maximalism is present in all its exciting pattern-clashing and textural mashup glory, despite the fact that it may be one of the most difficult design aesthetics to execute properly. Experts advise adding drama in modest doses if you're new to maximalist style. Start small with entryways, powder rooms, and breakfast nooks. Stepping outside your comfort zone and making an investment in a lamp with strong maximalist energy is another creative method to include a maximalist feel without making a significant commitment. Chandelier, did someone say that?

  1. Beautiful simplicity

Be at ease, minimalists. Though trends may come and go, minimalism endures. When executed properly, minimalism improves your space's liveability, and that never goes out of style! Given that home offices are here to stay, minimalism is a fantastic design trend that will support an easy transition from the office to the home. Of course, this doesn't exclude you from enjoying a burst of colour as well!

  1. Light white / cream furniture

White or light sofas and armchairs are the ultimate core pieces in interior design, just like a white denim is in a mix-and-match wardrobe. "How on earth can I keep it clean," is the universal cry for leaving out such furniture.
