2022 is almost here—and that means it’s time to start planning ahead when it comes to what will be trending in the New Year. When it comes to Accent Colors, interior designers must have had some 1980’s Miami Vice flashbacks, because they’re saying Pink, Green, and Black will be the accent colors to bring to your interiors in 2022.
“Black accents and hardware will be a popular home trend we’ll see in 2022,” predicts Channa Alvarez, interior designer at Living Spaces. It’s a great way to add some edge and depth to more minimalist spaces: “Choose light, neutral colors for the main elements of your space, like paint colors and large sofas, and incorporate black accents for contrast,” she advises. “Black accents such as lamps will really help to accentuate an area and add interesting depth. Even swapping out for black handles on existing pieces like side tables or tv cabinets will add a pop of contrast to a space.”
On the other hand, there’s still room for color in your interior palette. “[In] 2022 [it] is all about greens and pinks—in a way you’ve never seen them before. Think [deeper], jewel-toned greens and rooted, terracotta pinks,” says M+A Architects Interior Designer Abbey Hunter. “Considering color psychology and human behavioral needs as we shift to endemic living, it all makes sense—these hues of green are soothing and signal safety to the brain, while the deep pinks in muted palettes radiates warmth and comfort—all meeting the basic needs we are starving for post-pandemic.”
