2022 is almost here, and it’s time of new hopes, plans and ideas. If you are going to renovate your home in 2022 and don’t know where to start, let’s take a look at some trends popping up and maybe you will find a great idea here.
Multifunctional Spaces
The last few years we had to change our rooms to add a home office or a study/teaching space for the children. Working from home will remain a fixture in our lives. But this isn’t the only reason for creating more multifunctional space: we are rethinking the way we live. If we take a small home – there you have to think multifunctional. Storage has to be found in unusual spaces , furniture has to be double duty and more conscious decision are made about what to buy for your home.

DIY And Upcycling
A natural progression from the above, 2022 will see a surge in homeowners taking on DIY projects as part of creating a more mindful home. Low-waste living and upcycling is at the heart of creating a mindful home, and we have definitely seen a rise in upcycling which is likely to continue – from people sewing and making over old outfits, to making garden furniture out of wooden pallets. For the less experienced DIY-ers, taking an old piece of furniture and customizing it is a great way to reduce waste and also means no one else has the same piece as you.

Sustainable Materials
Sustainability and use of organic materials have become prominent in recent years. With the public’s increased exposure to climate change, the idea of sustainability has fed into the interior industry and our homes. This will translate into how we buy furniture; a move towards furniture items with reclaimed woods and accessories with recycled glass and metal… investing in meaningless furniture and accessories is a thing of the past.

Marble
Marble is a timeless and sophisticated material you may add to your home decor to make it refined and increase its value – fashion comes and goes but marble stays. Marble comes in lots of different shades and veining of each slab is unique meaning that what you have in your home you will never see anywhere else. Besides, marble is a natural material, so it fits the trend for organic materials.

Green as a color and greenery on the whole are what soothes us and what makes us more relaxed, they also make spaces more inviting and welcoming. Due to the COVID-19 we all had to spend much time in our homes and the wish to make them closer to nature and outdoors was immense. Biophilic spaces with lots of plants are a great way to achieve that outdoorsy feel indoors and make your space more calming and welcoming.

Textures
Texture are the key to make any space eye-catching, even if it’s the most neutral one without color accents. Go for interesting wall textures with plaster and various finishes, achieve a cozy, layered look through furniture and accessories, look for a variety of materials such as natural stone, leather, wood, and metal, as well as highly textured fabrics like bouclé. Cozy fabrics not only feel amazing but look chic and luxurious.
