While most people are making their 2022 resolutions, we’re looking toward this coming year with something else in mind: All the design and decor trends we can’t wait to see take over spaces everywhere in the new year.

In anticipation (and to get ahead of the trends), we asked some of our favorite designers and creators to share their predictions for 2022 furniture and design trends. Keep reading for their guesses as to what silhouettes, materials, and styles we’ll be seeing next year.

Curvaceous Lines

Betty Brandolino, founder and creative director of Fresh Twist Studio, tells us, “A trend we’re seeing in furniture design … is the implementation of curvaceous lines in upholstered furniture silhouettes and case goods. For example, we’ve noticed the emergence of rounded sofa backs and curved sideboards, to name a few.” 

Kristin Bartone of Bartone Interiors agrees. “Curved furniture with soft lines will be popular in 2022,” she says. “Nearly every manufacturer, from ultra-high-end down to more budget-friendly vendors, incorporated soft lines, arcs, and curves in all of their furniture. This was introduced last year but has really taken off.”

Ginger Curtis of Urbanology Designs has noticed the same thing—and on a small scale, too. “We’re also seeing fluted and ribbed detail on sofas, chairs, fireplace fronts, cabinetry, [and] vanities,” she says. “It creates art deco–like detail. This pattern can also be traced back to centuries past, when it was originally used to adorn Roman columns.”

Textured Surfaces

“Textured textiles, such as boucles, tweeds, and crushed velvets, were presented by nearly all of our vendors at High Point Market in October, which indicates that we’ll be seeing more texture in furniture pieces moving forward,” Brandolino tells us. 

Caroline Brackett of Caroline Brackett Studio of Design agrees. “In textures, anything furry, nubby, or cozy is very on-trend,” she says. “Comfort, in general, will be popular in 2022. Not that you have to sacrifice style, but now that everyone is spending more time at home, furniture needs to be comfortable.”

“Boucle wool fabric is being used in a variety of ways—on furniture, pillows, etc.,” adds Curtis. “The texture is great and it adds warmth and coziness. Since this is becoming so popular, we will look for less expected ways to use this material. It’s an incredible design element, but I will be looking to keep it fresh and unexpected!”

7 Patterns That Will Be Huge in 2022, According to Design Pros

Matte Metals

When it comes to trends in finishes and furnishings in kitchens and baths, Bill Darcy, chief executive officer of the National Kitchen & Bath Association, predicts a rise in matte finishes.

“The most popular designs for fixtures for the next two to three years will be less shine and more matte finishes in stainless, nickel, and pewter,” he says. "For motion control or touchless faucets, which are rapidly increasing in popularity, the preferred finishes will be matte or brushed black, or stainless.”

Vintage Items

“Vintage furniture will continue to be incorporated into design, especially with the global supply chain delays,” says Brandolino.  

Eilyn Jimenez, founder and creative director of Sire Design, agrees. “Rather than fast furniture, clients are seeking to purchase pieces of quality that can evolve with them and their homes,” she says. “This is the reason shopping vintage is not only for the elderly any longer. Younger clients want an alternative to mass-produced or catalog-purchased items and prefer to have pieces that reflect their character and grow with them.” 

Kylie Bodiya of Bees Knees Interior Design is sure that mixing and matching old and new is the way forward, too. “All around, we’re seeing trends that lean toward timeless, so that designs don’t date too quickly,” she says. “Mixing and matching current furniture pieces with family heirlooms or antiques helps to keep the room feeling timeless—something old, something new!”

6 Trends Designers Can’t Wait to Say Goodbye to in 2022

Personality and Sentimentality

Gray Malin, artist and photographer, feels we’re just going to see more and more of people’s personalities in their own spaces—and items and furnishings with nostalgic or emotional significance will have a new place of pride. “Sentimentality will also be more apparent,” he says.

“Gone are the days of making your home look like a catalog or staged room in your favorite home decor store. Instead, homes will be more unique and reflect a space where people feel comforted, themselves, and authentic,” he tells us.

Investment Pieces

“Although some things have gotten increasingly casual over the past decade, I think the trend to incorporate more luxury and formal items into the home will get more and more popular in the new year,” Malin predicts. “People are starting to value the idea of investing in higher quality pieces that are well made, durable, and long-lasting, versus a piece of fast furniture that is trendy in the moment but will not last very long.” 

Escapist Artwork and Decorative Details 

“People will be hanging more art that transports them to certain destinations and has an escapist quality,” Malin says. “I think overall, we will see people start to make their home feel like a vacation—curating the interiors to make them feel like they are on a vacation, either to a beloved place they have been or a place they are longing to go to.”

The Color Trends Experts Expect to See Everywhere in 2022

Wellness-Conscious Decor

“Whole-home health [is a] really strong trend for ‘22, so we’ll see designs with antimicrobial properties, like copper,” says TK Wismer, design eye at appliance brand CAFÉ. “Look for bronze and copper in lighting, furniture accents, and statement hardware on cabinetry and doors.”

Minimalist Furnishings With a Geometric Twist

“The cutouts and cage fashions we saw at the most recent Fashion Weeks were some of my favorites,” notes Wismer. “We are seeing reveal-and-conceal adding a bit of drama in the home space as well with glass, semi-transparent materials, and open grids and mesh being incorporated into cabinetry, furnishings, and even room dividers, where you can get a glimpse of what’s inside. ”

“We know that cane patterns made a big comeback over the past few years, and now we see those evolving into these more geometric repeats and grid styles,” she says. “This mathematical ‘perfection’ and open patterns work really well for those drawn to a minimalist aesthetic because they create a sense of airy lightness to a space without feeling heavy or dated.”

Believe it or not, 2022 is already on its way out the door. Wondering what furniture trends will be having a major moment come 2023? To give you a glimpse at what lies ahead in the design world, we called in the pros! Below, three interior designers share what types of furniture trends will be making a splash in the new year. Good news: If you love all things comfy (who doesn't?!), are partial to curved pieces, and appreciate a well placed pop of color, you're in luck!

Meet the Expert

1. Sustainability

Consumers and designers alike will be continuing to go green in 2023, says Karen Rohr of Mackenzie Collier Interiors. "One of the biggest trends we're seeing is a move toward sustainable, eco-friendly materials," she says. "Natural wood finishes are becoming increasingly popular as consumers seek products that will have a minimal environmental impact. " In turn, there will also be an emphasis on "simpler, more refined designs," Rohr says. "Clean lines and muted colors are becoming increasingly popular as people look for ways to create a sense of calm in their homes."

2. Seating With Comfort in Mind

Aleem Kassam of Kalu Interiors says that comfortable furniture will continue to be of major importance in 2023. "With a continued aspect of spending more time in our homes, comfort has taken a front running role when it comes to selecting the perfect seating to any primary room or space," he notes. "Our clients are looking for something to sink into from day to evening, all while sporting a chic style, of course. In the coming year we don't see this trend slowing down at all."

Rohr agrees that comfort is going to continue to take presence, expressing similar sentiments. "After changing our lifestyle and working from home or having a hybrid flex schedule, comfort will be essential in interior design," she says. "Looking for comfortable and stylish pieces with an emphasis on function will stay on trend in the new year."

3. Curved Pieces

On a somewhat related note, curved furnishings will continue to shine in 2023. "Mixing clean-lined pieces with curved silhouettes creates tension and drama," explains Jess Weeth of Weeth Home.

4. Vintage Pieces

If you love to collect secondhand pieces, you're in luck! As Rohr says. "Vintage-inspired furniture is also expected to make a comeback. With the recent popularity of mid-century modern design, it's no surprise that retro-inspired pieces will return in style." Flea markets, local antique stores, and websites including Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace are excellent resources for sourcing beautiful vintage pieces that don't break the bank.

5.

Large Scale Pieces

Homes don't seem to be getting any smaller, Aleem adds, noting that scale will continue to be important in 2023, with a focus on "larger scale pieces that serve more purposes, and seat more people. We're gathering now again in our homes and 2023 is all about entertaining in them!"

6. Reeded Details

Furniture with reeded touches of all kinds will be front and center next year, according to Weeth. This may take the form of reeding inset into wall panels, reeded crown molding, and reeded drawer and door faces in cabinetry, she explains.

7. Colorful, Pattern Furnishings

People won't be afraid to go bold in 2023, Rohr notes. "There's also a large number of people wanting to go more out-of-the-norm pieces," she comments. "Many clients are not afraid of color, and are open to creating more impactful interiors. For those, the trend will be experimenting with color, patterns, and unique, eye-catching pieces that become the focal point of a room. " So if you've had your eye on a vibrant, outside the box piece for some time, 2023 may be the year to scoop it up once and for all! Weeth agrees, noting that pattern in particular will be majorly en vogue. "From stripes to hand-blocked prints to vintage-inspired, pattern brings depth and interest to upholstery," she says.

One of the main global trends is the desire to get as close to nature as possible within an apartment. Therefore, designers bring as many relevant elements to the interiors as possible: from live plants to biophilic decor and appropriate colors. nine0003

In the trendy living room of 2023, this is primarily expressed in the use of furniture made from natural materials. Give up plastic and cheap chipboard in favor of natural wood, rattan, stone. Yes, such products are more expensive, but this is a profitable investment, as they will last much longer than budget counterparts. In addition, natural textures look more noble - and at the same time natural. They will create a feeling of comfort in the room, without reducing the cost or simplifying the design. Complement such furniture with textiles made from natural fabrics and laconic decor in the same concept. nine0003 eight

Modular sofas are one of the brightest trends that will definitely not lose ground in the near future.

Social networks of designer Olga Bondar

Interior design is now experiencing an era of functionality and reasonable minimalism, the concept of which fits perfectly with the idea of ​​modular upholstered furniture.

Why modular systems are good:

Modular sofas are made in a modern design, thanks to which they fit perfectly into minimalist, loft and contemporary interiors. They are not used in pure classics, but are suitable for contrasting eclectic design, in which several different directions are mixed. By the way, such a mixture of styles also corresponds to what kind of living rooms are now in trend. nine0003

The focus is steadily shifting to creating the most cozy and comfortable atmosphere, which means that all shapes and silhouettes will soften. Even now, in fashionable interiors, rectangular furniture with pronounced corners is being replaced by smooth, curved lines: round chairs and tables, spherical lamps, crescent-shaped sofas, shells, islands. The trend is any streamlined shapes and a variety of textures that flow into each other and make the space unified. Moreover, it does not have to be a perfectly even circle - pay attention to the forms inherent in nature with their imperfections and sometimes the lack of perfect symmetry. nine0002 Social networks of AB Architects studio

If earlier psychologists and designers "kicked" TVs out of the bedroom, now they are increasingly leaving the living room without them.

Social networks of Cartelle studio

The solution is not yet widespread, since it is difficult for many to imagine their life without a TV, but it is already definitely becoming a trend and will be increasingly found in the design of the hall in the apartment in 2023. This does not mean that you need to spend time in the room in complete silence — There are many alternatives to a dark screen on the wall. To understand if you really need a TV, answer yourself two questions:

The first question will help you understand what life scenarios take place in the hall and, accordingly, what functional areas you need. For example, if you often invite friends home or gather with the whole family, it is worth organizing a comfortable soft group. And if your hobby is playing board games, then take care of a comfortable table. Don't like to sit in silence? You can put a smart speaker or make a full-fledged stereo system. nine0003

The second question will help you understand which technique is right for you. So, if you mainly watch movies, series or videos on the Internet, then a traditional TV can be replaced with a laptop. Want to enjoy movies on the big screen? Hang the projector - it is much easier to fit into the interior.

Such a strict symmetrical composition came from traditional interiors, but now you can move away from this rule. The exception is the classical and partially neoclassical style, which has its own strict canons and principles for organizing space. nine0003

What will replace it? Not new, but a steady trend in living rooms for 2023 is accent chairs from different collections. They can be completely different in shape, material, shade, do not overlap either with each other or with the sofa. Of course, such a free composition requires a certain amount of observation, and it is more difficult to combine the incongruous than objects from the same group. To make the sofa group look harmonious, follow a few rules.
