Hello World! Welcome Friends! In recent years, we have started to spend more time at home, which has become a working space, as well as a space for studying. But one important aspect that has been forgotten lately is that the primary purpose of a home is to be a safe space. Where we can relax, clear our minds and spend quality time with our loved ones. According to JAC Interiors, to do so, we need to feel comfortable, and this is where interior design, especially furniture, plays a key role.
Just like clothing, the trends with furniture will come and go out of fashion, and change every decade or so, and the best way to keep up with these changes is to consult with an interior designer. Of course, many of us have had the chance in recent years to think about who we are, and how we wish to inhabit our homes since they have become the primary setting of our lives. An aspect that has also influenced the type of furniture that is trending this year.
This year the focus begins to fall on naturalness! A closeness to nature, and sustainability in interior aesthetics. The artful combination of retro, zen, and natural elements seems to be the most popular interior design trend in 2022.
Inspiration From Nature
It’s vital to strengthen our connection with nature, which is reflected in furniture through the revival of natural surfaces these days. From sandstone to marble all the way through to terracotta, all these materials reminiscent of nature have become trendy. They are used on a large scale for both furniture and decorative objects. These organic materials add an extra depth to the house, bringing the soothing and calming ambiance of the outside in.
Apart from raw materials reminiscent of nature, this year, we also recognize an inclination toward colors inspired by nature. Brown has become a to-go choice for furniture, especially in the bedroom and living room. Bringing with it a sense of “earthly” stability. Green is also among the favorite colors. However what is surprising is that pastels have also begun to grow in popularity, becoming increasingly fashionable.
This preference for a return to nature is also supported by the American Psychological Association, which states that closeness to nature has incredible benefits on our mental health.
Multifunctionality
Another interesting aspect that has emerged as a result of the pandemic, and having to remain confined within our homes, is that rooms are now being designed for multi-use. Also known as multi-purpose spaces.
For example, living rooms can also contain desks or even a workspace separated from the rest of the room. Bedrooms can be turned into an exercise space or vice versa.
Furniture is becoming more complex and diverse, and how these various roles are combined to provide comfort and practical functionality is a key aspect of the style of 2022. The more people find themselves spending time in their homes, the more people will expect a space to deliver for them.
Curved Lines
According to Vogue, curved shapes are understood by the subconsciousness as safe and welcoming. It is not surprising then that they have become increasingly demanded for, especially given that a home should be the warmest and coziest place. Furniture and decor with softer edges can perfectly complement a room, while giving a romantic and soothing air to the entire home.
Among the most popular pieces of furniture with rounded corners are sofas, as well as beds, especially those with upholstered panels. Round tables have also resurfaced and become trendy, bringing with them a more welcoming ambiance.
