Fashionable interiors - trends 2022
Interior trends 2022 – fashionable interior designs
The relevance of style solutions in the interior is much more merciful to the customer’s wallet than catwalk fashion. Options for finishing walls, floors, furniture - everything remains fresh and remains popular for a long time. If you made a renovation a year ago, following all the fashion trends, it will remain relevant for at least five to ten years.
We present to you trends and stylistic design solutions that will look fashionable in interiors in 2022 and for a long time to come.
Fifty Shades of Blue
For several years now, combinations of blue color in its different variations have been popular in interior decoration. You can create your own mood with cool and warm shades of blue.
Here we act according to the geographical principle:
- Do you like Scandinavian style? Choose cool shades of blue.
- Do we remember the sea with longing? A rich blue, on the border of heat and cold, is suitable.
Cool shades, such as road blue, indigo, sky blue - with an admixture of gray and white - are perfect for decorating the walls of a Scandinavian-style room.
Remember: the lighter the color of the walls, the larger the room appears.
Try not to go beyond the boundaries of heat/cold, select furniture and paint of different, but similar shades according to the color tables. White wood, metal, concrete, light brown, muted ocher are ideal for cold blue.
Warm colors, depending on the purpose of the room, can be dark or light, slightly violet, or the color of a sunny spring sky. Here you can complement the color scheme with warm shades of orange and light wood tones.
In any case, blue will remain one of the most fashionable colors in 2017
Marsala – wine shade, cherry
For the second year now, the wine shade of Marsala has been popular in fashion clothing collections; the shade has gradually moved into interiors and has every chance of becoming the color of 2022.
Noble cherry gives the room warmth and comfort. A soft rich wine shade will become a bright accent of the interior. But here you need to be careful. Color can draw all attention to itself, so we recommend that you leave only one of the walls under Marsala, painting the remaining walls white, gray or beige.
Since a wine-colored wall immediately catches the eye, we recommend supporting it with a dark shade of laminate or parquet, as well as many accessories in black and white.
Wooden furniture of all shades, from pine to dark oak, goes well with the cherry shade of the walls. You can focus on upholstered furniture. Marsala goes well with green, emerald, light green, as well as blue: indigo, aqua and pale blue.
It is worth choosing a color scheme based on the principle of opposite shades of the color wheel, but focus your attention on one or two pieces of furniture in blue or green, and it is better to do the remaining finishing in a gradation of black and white.
Natural history - everything natural is very fashionable!
Natural materials have already firmly established their position in interior design, and will be in trend for a long time. We are talking about the use of concrete, plaster, metal and natural stone. Also don't forget about the wood.
The fashion for natural finishing materials seeks to bring us closer to nature.
- Roughly processed concrete walls will guide us towards minimalism. It is better to use concrete in large rooms and dilute it with warm wooden floors and natural textiles - cotton, leather furniture and animal skins.
- Plaster and gypsum panels will add their own flavor to the interior.
- Natural stone - marble, onyx, agate, granite - are well diluted with warm, sunny accessories and decor.
- Try to leave the wood as natural as possible; in modern design it does not tolerate large layers of varnish and painting. Wood will add warmth to any interior, and almost all colors match this material. In addition, wood is applicable to almost all modern interior design styles, this gives a lot of scope for your imagination!
Such a different gray
Between white and black there is a large palette of shades of varying degrees of intensity and darkness.
The gray color in the interior and its combinations are in perfect harmony with almost the entire palette of shades; it is very difficult to make a mistake here. But do not forget that gray is a cool color, and try to add warm colors and furniture textures to the interior. Pay attention to the combination of gray and ocher, beige, walnut. And add a bright accent to this combination - orange, red, wine, light green, sky blue, or mint. This technique will create an interesting and fresh atmosphere.
Gray color is universal, so you can easily update your interior by changing a couple of details.
More air – latitude and comfort
Among other interior trends for 2022, the redevelopment of premises by demolishing non-load-bearing walls and combining several rooms into one large room is still popular. This technique will give more air to your apartment or house, the room will seem more spacious and comfortable.
To delimit space, light wooden partitions with glass filling are suitable. Here your imagination is not limited by anything.
The main rule is not to clutter the room with unnecessary furniture and leave a little more space for air.
Noble metals – in everything
The use of metal in furniture and decorative elements is becoming increasingly popular: the glossy shine of metals makes the interior sophisticated and fashionable.
Metal materials are used in the design of lamps, fittings, and furniture elements.
Here we can distinguish metals into two categories - cold and warm. For interiors in cool colors, it is recommended to use silver and chrome - the materials ideally reflect white light, adding zest and brutality to the interior. If you want to add coziness to the room, we recommend diluting the interior with decor made of copper, gilding, and brass.
Cold metals are most often used in Scandinavian and minimalist interiors. Warm metals look good in classic interiors.
Geometry circle - corner at the head
Geometric shapes - perhaps angular, but incredibly interesting and very fashionable.
The graphic theme is in trend in apartment design in 2016 and 2017 and will attract your attention in the interior for a long time. Stone, metal, wood - this decor will add zest to your interior.
Geometric patterns look beautiful in room textiles, furniture upholstery and wall decoration. The most important thing is not to overdo it. One or two pieces of furniture will be enough to create a stylish interior.
Add minimalistic decor and dilute the interior with monochromatic textures, now the interior design will attract attention and spark the interest of your guests!
