5 home decor trends to keep an eye on this 2022

Now that you’ve found the perfect piece of Winthrop real estate, you’re no doubt already making plans for the property, especially how you’ll be decorating it, both for maximum aesthetic appeal and function. For 2022, the design trends are all about making the best use of spaces and breathing some life and personality into your space. It’s not too late to apply some of this year’s popular trends to spruce up your interior. Here are some of these trends—see which one of them you can apply to your home.

1. Maximalism over minimalism

   The minimalist style has had its time, and while it’s still a heavy favorite, a more maximalist take on designing your home is gaining popularity. This is all about incorporating a more unique personality into your space, something that truly reflects you, your tastes, and your experiences. Maximalism involves a lot more color, layers, and textures. This also means incorporating an eclectic display of your personal collections.

2. Bringing a feeling of nature inside the home

   Being cooped up indoors during the pandemic has given people the urge to bring more of nature and the outdoors into their homes. This can be done in various ways, from adding more plants to your indoor space to using earth tones in your decor. You can even add interesting touches like natural fibers and accent pieces, such as side tables with a stone slab or granite countertops.

3. A return to separate rooms

   With all the time we’ve spent indoors, it’s become essential to create spaces that keep your activities separate – and give you some breathing room from all the other people in your house. If you currently have an open-floor plan, don’t fret; all you need to do is add some dividers for extra privacy and create some distinction between the rooms.

4. Curved furniture

   Curved furniture adds softness to a room, making it feel more welcoming and comfortable, and breaking up any hard, angular lines throughout the space. Amp up the comfort factor of curved furniture by choosing ones that come in soothing colors. Alternatively, you could just add other curved elements to your home, such as round mirrors, lamps, side tables, and rugs.

5. Vintage finds

   Thrifting has come back in a big way. People are discovering how vintage furniture and decorative items add character to their home, appreciating the uniqueness of each piece; this is consistent with the maximalism trend nowadays. Using vintage items is also a good step toward living more mindfully and sustainably.

   Trends are a good indicator of how home decor is evolving, but remember that not all of them need to be applied in your home. Go with what works for and appeals to you. You want pieces that will last for a long time and will work in harmony with the overall look of your home even if the design trends shift.
