The scope of the workforce changed when Covid-19 spread across the country. Many people have been transitioned to fully remote roles or a blended hybrid of remote with some office time. Nonetheless, a lot of Americans are spending more time at home now, which forces you to take notice of certain things. Such as the kitchen wallpaper or your old stove.
Here is Forbes‘ list of the 7 Best Decor Trends that 2022 had to offer to help you decide if it’s time to revamp your interior.
1. Use Color Combos
A two-tone color design brings a sense of depth to any room. This color design scheme is often used for kitchen cabinets to contrast between the upper and lower levels. It’s important to note that darker colors often make the space feel closed in, so reserve those colors for the cabinets under the countertop. Your local paint store typically will categorize paints that work well together, making the choice as simple as picking the color family you wish to stay in.
2. Make Lighting a Master Bath Statement
Gone are the days of thinking recessed can lights are your best choice for lighting your bathroom. A master bathroom overhaul can make the space feel like a luxurious spa and distract you from realizing you’re still at home. Any lighting fixture can be adapted for your bathroom so feel free to go unique. A statement light fixture in your bathroom will add much-needed ambiance.
3. Upgrade Your Oven
This decor trend of 2022 can come with a hefty price tag, but if it is within the budget, modern oven designs present a great opportunity to make your kitchen pop. Ovens are available in multiple colors and styles now and you can even get the knobs and handles to match what is currently in your kitchen. Contrasting a black oven against cream cabinets will dramatize your kitchen and give your guests something to rave about.
4. Add Flair With Rugs
Rugs made a return and a statement for 2022 decor trends. They present a relatively affordable option to give your floors an upgrade. With an endless amount of colors, patterns and designs you are sure to find a rug that will help put the icing on the cake of any room’s design scheme.
5. Get Back to Nature
As mentioned earlier, with many people spending more time at home it can be easy to start feeling claustrophobic. This is why natural colors and nature tones have been trending for 2022. These colors have a way of not only energizing your home but you as well, bringing you balance and helping break up that feeling of isolation you often experience when spending too much time inside.
6. Give Smaller Spaces a Luxurious Feel
A trend for 2022 has been bringing a luxurious feel to the unassuming places of your home. Rooms like your laundry room, guest bathrooms, home office and entryways. These rooms are often ignored or decorated with the bare minimum. Here are a few ways to add luxury to these smaller spaces:
- Hang a crystal chandelier in your main entryway
- Re-tile your laundry room with a bold pattern
- Add marble and gold accents to your guest bathroom
7. Blend Old School With New School
Just because you are trying to revamp the decor in your house, doesn’t mean you have to go buy hundreds of dollars worth of new decorations. With backorders and supply-chain issues shopping local antique shops and utilizing yardsales has become a trend for 2022. Make this a great opportunity to blend vintage designs with your modern furniture.
