The Interior Design Trends That Will Be Everywhere in 2022
As the year winds down, there's nothing more fun for us home editors than asking our favorite interior designers to predict the home design trends that we can expect to see in the months ahead. When it came to home decor in 2021, it was all about blending style and practicality as we all continued to spend more time in our homes — upgrades like self-cleaning bidets made bathrooms feel more luxurious while rooms filled with geometric accents gave us something interesting to look at each day.
But what's ahead in 2022? We checked in with some of the most talented designers in the business to uncover the top interior design trends for the year ahead. From new color palettes to unique furniture choices, if your new year's resolution is to give your home a serious makeover, this is the perfect place to get inspired.
1. Biophilic Design

"After over a year of being shut inside, there has been — and will continue to be — a focus on regaining our connection to the natural world through the use of biophilic design principles, meaning there will be an emphasis on creating calming environments with natural lighting and ventilation, incorporating plants and creating a visual connection with nature." — Amanda Thompson, Aline Studio
2. Bold Patterns and Colors

"I expect to see a lot of bold color and pattern reminiscent of the 60’s and 70’s, and green in all shades as we continue to bring the outdoors in. I am especially fond of the more muted shades of green such as Sherwin Williams’ Evergreen Fog, as seen in my own bedroom." — Beth Diana Smith, Beth Diana Smith Interior Design
3. Traditional Details

"In 2022, we are seeing traditional details making a big comeback. With so much change around the world over the past few years, it’s no surprise that more and more people are craving a sense of comfort, timelessness or even a bit of nostalgia in their homes. From pattern mixing, skirted or flanged furniture, and the incorporation of antique pieces, this new year is all about honoring our roots. And we couldn’t be happier about it!” — Bria Hammel, Bria Hammel Interiors
4. Sustainability

"Sustainability has become a major issue for everyone, as it should. Looking into the sustainability of everything is a must and it is really excellent that so many designers are trying to learn what the best materials are to use for the long-term health of our eco-system. Luckily, there is a lot to choose from!" — Robert and Cortney Novogratz for The Shade Store
