Home Decor Trends 2022 (Part 1)

Home Decor Trends 2022:
What is coming next Part 1

I have been working in art and home décor for quite a few years - don’t ask me how many. We all have the things we love regardless of trends. Maybe you love contemporary looks or farmhouse. Maybe you are traditional while some of you want a modern urban feel to your space. Our homes are a reflection of who we are and if you are anything like me, you love decorating your space and even more … you love keeping up-to-date with trending looks in the home.

I spend a lot of time browsing through my favourite blogs and sites and on social, to see what style influencers, designers and companies, like Pantone, are talking about. I’ve been seeing looks I absolutely adore and some I am not so crazy about. But that’s life, isn’t it? I’ve gathered up my favorite looks for 2022 starting with the colors I think are going to be trending this coming year.

Green

Every shade of green is trending in the home. From deep velvety forest and emerald greens to brighter grass green and earthy sage, nature-inspired shades are top of the list for designers. In fact, Houzz said, in their recently released 2022 Emerging Trends Blog Post, that searches for the color green in the home are up an incredible 379%.

In addition to adding wall decor and furniture, I love adding plants and plant-inspired art into a space. I love being surrounded by nature all the time so surrounding myself with plants, planters and nature-inspired art is a must.

Earth Tones

Everyone is looking to 2022 as a year of hope and change. I don’t know about you, but I learned a lot about myself in 2021. Lockdown and quarantine helped to focus my goals and outlook on what I want these next years to look and feel like.

Earthy shades of coral, warm brown and dusty pinks started trending over a year ago, in part due to desert, etro and mid-mod trends. Those same shades will be having a big moment in 2022 as we all look to surround ourselves with colors that feel optimistic yet down to earth.

Sunny Yellow

One of my favorite colors, yellow is absolutely trending in art and the home. Sunny and filled with cheer, yellow accents in the home are going to be hot in 2022. I love how yellow pairs perfectly with popular neutrals like grey and black but also feels fresh and modern paired with brighter colors. Overall, you can help but smile when you see yellow.

I have always loved painting with yellow and especially was inspired when Pantone announced its 2021 color combination as Illuminating Yellow and Ultimate Grey. It is a perfect pairing, and like all Pantone color picks, is starting to come on strong in decor 9 months later.

Get inspired with 2022 design trends

If there is one thing for sure, we can always rely on fashion and home decor trends to bring new inspiration to our lives. As I sit here thinking about these gorgeous colors, I am getting ready to start planning for Part 2 of my 2022 Home Decor Trends. I can’t wait to share them with you.
