At its core, a new year symbolizes an opportunity for change. It is a chance for many to refresh and begin again. As with every industry, home design is no stranger to changes brought on by the turn of the calendar page. A new year means the emergence of all-new styling trends and welcoming opportunities to experiment with your living space.
Whether you’re revamping your residence or outfitting your McCord’s Ferry dream home in our lakefront community, we’ve done some research to help keep your home feeling fresh in 2022. Keep reading to view some of the home decorating trends to look out for this year.
1. Nature-Inspired Palettes
In 2022, experts see homeowners becoming inspired by the serenity of nature. The soothing properties offered by the great outdoors will make their way into America’s bedrooms, bathrooms and beyond.
Greens, grays, and other earthy tones create a sense of warmth and comfort in your environment. These hues offer a subdued pop of color desired by homeowners today, making them favored to edge out the more traditional, neutral tones of whites and creams. The complementary addition of natural woods such as bamboo, rattan and more are also expected to rise in popularity. These combinations are perfect for interiors, as well as exterior home design.
Capitalize on your location and get inspired by your surroundings. With the local Santee State Park and our beautiful Lake Marion, McCord’s Ferry has more than enough inspiration to offer.
2. Tantalizing Textured Fabrics
A change in the color palette is not the only adventurous move for homeowners this year. Along with new colors, design experts see that textures will become popular in the coming year.
With people spending time in their homes now more than ever, emphasis is being placed on comfort as much as looks. Textured fabrics like velvet, sherpa, and even shag are making a comeback as homeowners focus on creating cozier environments. Along with the comfort factor, textured pillows and blankets can add a visual bonus when used as an accent on beds and sofas.
3. Glorious Light and Luscious Greens
As with recent years, the continuous boom in the plant parenting movement will continue. Just as homeowners look to build outdoor spaces, they’ll be looking to bring the outdoors in. Studies show that there are benefits to gain from the presence of indoor plants, including reduced stress levels and a boost in productivity, among others.
Creating an environment conducive to growth is essential for happy and healthy plant growth. With more and more people discovering their green thumbs, factoring in sources for natural light has become more important than ever for the world of home design.
4. Old is New
The incorporation of antique pieces is expected to rise in 2022. With a wave of supply shortages and an increased focus on sustainability, vintage pieces are a perfect solution to both problems.
Giving new life to these recycled pieces is more than good for the environment. Introducing antique furniture into a space can give it a unique sense of personality you may not find with your average store-bought units. Vintage pieces are an excellent way to showcase your style and provide a fun talking point for guests.
5. Serenity in Softer Edges
Rounding out our list, we are looking to find a softer side of home decor. Trends indicate that homeowners and designers seek curve appeal for furniture in 2022.
Gone are the days of hard edges. Instead, there is now a rising interest in more rounded design details. Sofas with curved backs or flared armchairs are gauged to become more common heading into the year. These organic shapes are softer on the eye and work perfectly as a statement piece.
