It’s no secret that nature-inspired home decor has been trending for years now. Indeed, this fad won’t be going anywhere in 2022. Colors, textures, and materials that can be found outdoors can add an inviting and stylish touch to any space in your home, big or small. With this in mind, don’t be afraid to incorporate earthy browns and greens, tranquil blues, and soft creams and tans on everything from your walls and bedding to sofas and kitchen cabinets.

Likewise, more homeowners than ever before are interested in decorating their living spaces with sustainable furnishings and accessories. Investing in sustainable home decor is a great way to reduce waste, conserve energy, and save money. Best of all, using upcycled, recycled, or antique pieces alongside modern ones is an effortless way to help your home feel fresh and unique.

There’s something about decorating with items from decades long ago that can make your home feel unexpectedly edgy and fun. Luckily, 2022 will be a big year for bringing back home decor styles from years past. This is good news for those of us who have been holding onto our grandmother’s side table or grandpa’s hat collection. Welcoming old furniture and knick-knacks into your home is a sure-fire way to add depth and visual intrigue that might have otherwise been lacking. If you don’t have any family heirlooms lying around your garage or attic that could become a part of your home decor, take a trip to your local thrift store or online consignment shop. You may be surprised by what you find for a steal!

If you’ve never given a second thought to the shape of the furniture you buy, this is the year to do just that. 2022 will be all about curved furniture (or furnishings with rounded edges). Inspired by pieces that were popular in the 1960s and 70s, this style trend is making a comeback. From loveseats and office chairs to ottomans and dining room tables, rounded furniture can bring a soft, welcoming touch. To make your curved furniture stand out in your home, try positioning it near pieces with sharp edges. For instance, a round mirror would look lovely positioned over an entryway table with crisp lines.

Living through a global pandemic has allowed many families and homeowners to realize the potential that their home has held all along. Working, learning, entertaining, and relaxing can all take place under one roof with the right design. This has paved the way for multifunctional rooms to be particularly popular in 2022. Your living spaces don’t have to be exceptionally spacious to serve multiple functions or easily transition from one activity to the next.

Check out these interior design trends to help you design a multipurpose space that works for you:

• Consider how you could better use wasted space in the room, including corners and versatile space.
• Bring in versatile furnishings, such as seating with built-in storage.
• Only incorporate the essentials of a room, so that the space doesn’t feel cluttered or small.
• Keep it cohesive by using the same style throughout the room, even if you’ve separated the space into individual “zones.”

If you’re interested in adding a pop of color to a room in your home or breathing new life into a space while not going overboard, you can’t go wrong with the color blue. You’re sure to see blue everywhere in 2022, from bedrooms and bathrooms to living rooms and beyond. Blue is the color that can do it all.

Here are some tips to effortlessly incorporate blue into your home this year:

• Bathroom & Bedroom: Choose soft blues for paint, fabrics, and accessories of these rooms to promote relaxation and calmness.
• Kitchen: Use a bright shade of blue to make your kitchen feel vibrant and playful. Thus, making it perfect for entertaining guests and family alike.
• Living Room & Diningroom: Bring in a warm or dramatic shade of blue, such as Navy, to create a subtle yet refined atmosphere to two of your most frequented living spaces.

Changing the colors, furniture, and fabrics in a room is no longer enough to truly achieve a sense of balance and style. What’s the secret to designing a home that exudes comfort, beauty, and visual intrigue? Texture. Mixing in pieces with a variety of textures is a creative way to make the rooms in your home look and feel their best. With this in mind, don’t hesitate to use texture like a pro in your home.

Here are a few ways to do just that:

• Pair items together with contrasting textures, such as smooth metal and plush upholstery.
• Add texture to your floors with woven area rugs.
• Bring in natural elements with eye-catching texture, such as fibrous baskets, stucco accessories, and leather chairs.
