Home decor is taking a welcome turn in 2022. It will be a year of natural lines and soft but bold colors. It will be a year of calming neutrals that refresh and restore balance and optimism. 2022 is a year of hope and promise, and our homes will reflect those attitudes.
Total makeovers for homes is an expensive endeavor. Unless you end up holding a winning lottery ticket or taking out a loan, it may not be possible. But, 2022 is all about refreshing your home while sustaining the environment. Many of the home styles you are looking for are easily attained by using vintage pieces, fresh paints, and easy crafts that you can create yourself. Think refinish, recover, regroup, and reuse.
You will not see sharp or heavy lines in 2022. Instead, you will see lines that mimic the flow of the sea, the curve of plants, and the soft roundness of clouds. Beautiful swirl rugs, billowing ruffled pillows, and flowing window covers will complement our rooms.
Sustainability
We have all had a good hard look at how fragile our world can be. The day of “buy it and toss it” is coming to an end. We are now dedicated to the idea of buying and using items that can be used for a long time and for multiple purposes. In 2022 you will see people return to:
Plush velvet furniture or overstuffed natural fabrics will be the look of 2022. Look for colors like smokey lilac. Today’s lilac is a soft lilac with a metallic finish. Soft blues, grays, very light pinks, and olive green paint will grace the walls. Trim with basic white for a clean and open look. Don’t limit yourself to pale colors. Bold golden yellow is the color of the year for one major paint company. It gives you a sunny and optimistic room without overstating the wall coverings.
Get bold with throws and pillows. Bright and even neon colors work well with 2022 decor. Electric blue, lime green, magenta, and bright chartreuse bring back the 70s vibe with a fun look that fits today’s style.
