Our homes are not only the spaces in which we live, but they also speak about who we are and what we love. As we head into 2022, we’ve forgone polished for functional, defined for entangled, and homemade for store-bought. The message? Homes that are real rather than resembling an untouched magazine. So, one of the bigger design trends expected for 2022 is what the craft store, Michaels calls, ‘Mindful Making.’
“At Michaels, we are inspired by our Makers and the incredible things they create,” shares Andrea Manning, Senior Director of Trend, Design & Packaging. “In 2022 we expect to see new and experienced Makers alike continue to practice mindful making, the idea of using arts and crafts to relax and find calm. We’ll see them applying what they learned last year and expanding creatively into new materials and aspirational themes, more sustainable ways of crafting, and to use making to connect with loved ones in new and meaningful ways.”
After the disconnect of 2020 and 2021, it’s wonderful to see how our houses are truly becoming our homes.
