House renovation trends 2022
A new year offers the opportunity to indulge in some new trends and a fresh start for our homes. As we welcome 2022, a plethora of new design ideas come with it, and this year is no exception when it comes to embracing exciting opportunities for our homes. Whether you’re looking for a brand new concept for your home, with a new dramatic colour scheme, or simply want to introduce some smaller trends, such as more house plants or biophillia, there’s plenty to inspire this year.
Sustainability: Renovate don’t replace – We’re delighted that the spotlight is on making more conscious buying decisions, and that extends to the ways we decorate and improve our homes. From up cycled and recycled pieces and materials to slow, considered design that is made to last, this evolving attitude is better for pockets and planet alike.
Biophilia & harmony with nature – Following on from the focus on sustainable design in our homes, on-trend interiors look to create a sense of harmony with the outside world. Think earthy tones, lots of natural materials like wood and cork, plenty of glass to maximise light flow and plants, plants and more plants! With small space living on the rise and the indoor plant trend taking centre stage, there’s never been a better way to easily transform a space. A plant addition to the home is like breathing a breath of fresh air into your room décor.
Neutral Palettes – Set against its backdrop of balance and harmony, natural materials and greenery, 2022 brings neutrals back to the fore with calming tonal schemes based on paler, muted shades. These tranquil shades – off-whites, beiges and warmer soft greys – bring new life and light to a space without dominating, and are the perfect foil for this year’s earthy palette of greens, clays and concrete.
Black Accents & Monochrome Minimalism – Adding depth and interest to a muted palette, there are lots of ways you can introduce a sophisticated punch of black into your room, including:
- Monochrome artworks.
- Accessories, like lamps, cushions, rugs, or throws.
- Choosing black for the edging or interiors of furniture.
- Choosing black hardware – from handles to staircase balustrades
All-mirrored wardrobes – Wall-to-wall wardrobes can look great in larger bedrooms. If you’re working with a smaller space, consider mirrored doors to elevate your room and create a statement. Mirrored wardrobes can be tailor-made to suit your space, so you can enjoy beautiful wardrobes that suit your home.
