For millennia, interior design trends have been used as aesthetic aids in our attempts to find some sort of inner peace: take the ancient Chinese art of feng shui, where spatial positioning corresponds with energy flow, or wabi sabi, the Japanese practice of embracing an imperfection, or ancient Rome's fondness for using earth-tone colours and geometric patterns in order to mimic the harmony of nature. So, is it any wonder that in 2022—our third consecutive year in a global pandemic—the top interior design trends are again focused on making us feel emotionally at ease?
We have been forced to slow down and spend time in our homes—this drives a strong desire to really create a space that reflects both visually and affectionately what it is we are feeling. As of lately we are paying close attention to how design has the ability to create an energy —allowing the senses to drive a space.
And what, exactly, are our senses drawn to in 2022?
For starters, several top interior designers predict the rise of the enveloping, earthy colour of brown, displayed in fabrics like leather or even in terracotta walls. Others say a spike in nature-inspired surfaces and accents—think marbles and mushroom shapes—while others say soft, curvy furniture. Essentially, anything that feels warm, welcoming and cosy is in.
As we get into another year of COVID variants, our living spaces continue to double as our work rooms, which is the new normal. The kitchen continues as the conference room and The Farmhouse Table is the new boardroom table. Dual-Purpose Rooms will be designed for double duty, i.e., dining rooms walls lined with wine storage or books, guest rooms fitted with desks, bedrooms equipped with exercise equipment. As people spend more time in their homes, they expect the spaces to work harder for them.
If you are looking at building or creating dual-purpose room at your home, get in touch with the team at All Group WA, we can assist you with any project you have in mind for 2022.
