New interior design
25 key decor ideas for the year |

Interior design trends for 2023 are vast and varied. There are some new colors, new textures and new materials, but most importantly, there are new moods. Most of the moods tend to revolve around a spa-like sense of serenity, or a fun and patterned decorative boost of joy.
"How people want to decorate has recently shifted," says the designer Lee Broom. "For a start, we’re all craving a better outlook, and part of achieving that is to condition your own brain to think more positively, which you can do by surrounding yourself with things that make you feel happy. Cocktail cabinets that move and rotate, furniture that’s geared towards sitting together and being convivial, anything that is a bit playful and glamorous and dramatic."
The interior designer Tara Bernerd agrees that there is a general move to sophistication, but it's a more relaxed take on sophistication than ever before. "While that feeling of luxury remains very important, don’t we now all want something that feels approachable, too?" Tara says. "That you can walk around barefoot in and not feel worried about? I find that people still want their spaces to feel grand, but while we might turn the volume up in the living room with some real wow design, we’ll then do a chic media room where the materials and textures are less formal, more edgy, more comfortable. This totally reflects what’s happening generally, as people are finding they can be just as smart without a tie, and women have largely swapped their heels for trainers."
This desire has filtered out and been interpreted in many different ways, but here are the interior design trends we think will be biggest in 2023 and beyond.
Rory regularly writes about trends for both the online and print versions of Livingetc. He is one of the very few people we turn to because he always has the finger on the pulse of what is happening. As a stylist and interior designer, he creates rooms for clients, meaning he has first hand knowledge of what people are asking for, what moods people are after, and what trends are bubbling up.
He was able to put all this research and firsthand experience into action for this article.
1. Golden tones

Shimmering like sunsets, this pleasantly warm and flaxen hue is elevating interiors with a touch of pure luxe. Bethan Gray has used it on furniture, Arflex have it on chairs and it makes a shimmering splash on this wallpaper from Kirkby, who has teamed with global fashion house Eley Kishimito for this collection.
The design team says this print has been inspired by “the effect of multiple folded paper aeroplanes in flight”, created by an arrangement of basic geometric shapes and creating an overall complex looking design. And it is rather mesmerising, isn’t it?
2. Convivial seating

Furniture designers have spotted the opportunity to bring people back together again, and this new era in furniture design sees a selection of seating options which are all about encouraging the art of in-person conversation.
The Vis-à-Vis by Philippe Nigrofor Ligne Roset is a prime example. With its matt black lacquered frame and boldly blue upholstery, it is curvaceous, contemporary and offers two people the opportunity to sit separately, but with the feeling they are still next to each other.
It is neither a sofa, nor is it two individual chairs. And whilst it will turn heads as a piece of beauty, it’s actually been designed so that the users don’t need to turn their heads at all! Time to let the conversation flow.
3. 1960s-style armchairs

Armchairs seem to have taken a little bit of a back seat (excuse the pun) over the last few years. It feels like people have been opting for velvety sofa and jewel-coloured loveseat, somewhat overlooking the beauty of a single low-level armchair.
However, there’s a feeling that this is about to change as designers - and it’s the Italian designers we’re talking about, in particular - are bringing some rather delicious looking accent chair designs to the fore.
They all have something in common; Inspired by 1960s lines, materials and colors, here is the creme de la creme to slip into, and then shimmy back out of.
Porada’s Copine Bergere Chair sports a lovely tall backrest (ergonomically, it’s a dream) and you can specify it either in a removable fabric cover, or a fixed leather cover. Previously available with a walnut wooden frame (and legs), the Copine Bergere is now also being produced with options of Black Nickel or - and prepare for a bit of a tongue twister - Brushed Bronze Brass finishes for the frame and legs.
4. Pure white lamps

This new lighting trend is all about stripping out colour completely, emphasising shape instead.
The 642 Visier Lamp, made out of aluminium and painted in a cool white hue, is a perfect example of this interior design trend. It is arguably not just a lamp, but a piece of sculpture too.
Looking a little like it’s coming in to land (clear a space on that sideboard!), we reckon this is futuristic investment piece will stand the test of time.
5. Heritage tiles

Reclaimed or vintage-inspired, the archive patterned aesthetic is more popular than ever.
Missing the Mediterranean? That's the joy of this heavily decorative approach to bathroom tile trends - you can bring a touch of it home. Referencing the antique tiles of Southern Spain, seek out the patina and colors that reflecting those of original reclaimed tiles. Use independently or pair with single color tiles for a more understated aesthetic.
6. Wall lights taking center stage

Superstar designer Tom Dixon recently told Livingetc about the importance of ‘light washing’, using bulbs cleverly to cover your walls in light rather than just beaming down on them from on high.
And it isn't coincidence that wall lights are becoming ever more sculptural, scene stealing, sensational and stellar. First Laura Gonzalez was a true highlight (or should that be eye-level light?) at Paris Deco Off with her Bosphore ceramic wall lights, above. Available in an earthy mix of hues, each ceramic cylinder is a modern take on the bobbin trend, incorporating them like jewels into these covetable shades.
Then brands like and Contardi debuted sculptural wall lights that look like works of art. Wall light are now stars in their own right, just hanging a little lower than you might expect. See our edit of these perfect wall lights.
7. Contemporary curtain trims

It’s happening - we’re adopting curtain trims at Livingetc. Previously having been discounted as too trad, the brilliant Samuel and Sons has changed all that with its super-contemporary approach to tassels, adornments and finishing touches.
The brand designs a whirl of iridescent hues that totally transform a room, and we’re drawn to the new Elora border, its swirls twisting up this curtain, adding a flash of unexpectedly modern decoration that elevate even the dullest corner.
Trims! As a curtain trend! Who would have thought it?
8. Hideaway home offices

Hide the work day away with as smart WFH stations are now being disguised. To the unassuming eye they'll look like a drinks cabinet, or a writing bureau, or perhaps an armoire. But what they hide is all your work stresses and strains and papers and bits.
High end design brands like Porada are creating them, and for a sleek, contemporary take on a classic bureau, the Davenport by David Irwin for Another Country is beautiful in its simplicity. It is a complete home office in slices of pale solid oak furnished only with three surreptitious brass handles. Gone is the traditional angled front, adding enough space within for a computer screen, and inside you’ll find hidden compartments, a pin board, and cable storage. Plus, it doubles as a bar for after work drinks.
9. Bold borders

There is clearly a decorative vibe in the air, as while trims are big news in curtains (see above), borders are back, adding accents to living room color trends.
And they’re no longer confined to lying horizontally across a wall, this time it’s a lot more free-spirited – think bending around woodwork or breaking up segments of space. Studio Atkinson’s first range of wallpaper borders comprises five modernised classic patterns ready to roam the room in vivid colors and unexpected scales.
10. Alfresco showering all year round
(Image credit: CP Hart)
Ever since Gwyneth Paltrow debuted her home spa to the world earlier this year designers have been thinking of new ways to fold this feeling into decor. The materials, the textures, the steam rooms...and now, the return of the outdoor shower, for an invigorating blast first thing.
And there’s no need to miss a mere moment of warmth as bathroom trends join the season’s open-air lifestyle. C. P Hart’s Luminous Tiles are happy on walls inside and out, weather resistant and durable to suit the most inclement of summers. Their au-natural palette harmonises with backyard materials and colors, while their high-gloss finish accentuates every sunbeam.
11. Luxe outdoor lighting
(Image credit: Ethimo)
As we all want to spend more and more time in our backyard, it's no wonder the trend for luxe lighting has come outside with us.
The Lucerna Lamp, a design by Luca Nichetto, is the latest outdoor accessory to adorn tabletops this summer, from the Italian outdoor design specialists Ethimo. But this is no ordinary outdoor garden lamp. It’s chic, it’s contemporary, and it’s fully on board with this ‘new luxury’ vibe - products which embody a little of both the past and the future, in their makeup.
The Lucerna takes its name from ancient Roman oil lamps, however, also looks to the very latest LED lighting technology and incorporates a dual system with chargeable battery and pull out cable, all of which is wrapped in a protective casing of waterproofed anodised metal, which you can choose in either a steel or a brass finish. If you’re looking for stylish outdoor lighting then you might struggle to find better than this.
12. Wickerwork
(Image credit: GUBI)
The art of weaving with natural rattan, reeds, and certain bark material, wickerwork is quietly but firmly back on the design map.
And not before time. As people seek out design pieces and products which hold a story, and that carve a sustainable stance in the interiors marketplace, wickerwork products offer both elements of chic status and sustainable living ethos. From high end to high street, it’s making its mark
Wickerwork is particularly useful when it comes to outdoor furniture. It has the home spun porch decor vibe we're all craving now, yet in a more elevated way. The Bohemian 72 Collection, was first designed - as the name infers - in 1972 by renowned Italian designer Gabriella Crespi. Her original designs have become synonymous with celebrity and now - if you can even find a piece - command seriously juicy prices (Google at your peril ).
However, now Gubi is teaming up with Archivo Crespi to put the collection back into production.
With a small edit of products to choose from, including the Lounge Chair, above, 3 Seater Sofa, Ottoman, and Lamp, each piece is constructed from the trunk of rattan and represents all that’s cool about 1970s wickerwork design.
13. Irregular rugs
(Image credit: A Rum Fellow)
Irregular rugs are striking designs that undoubtedly have all been created to own the floor. Not only do these living room rugs have an eye-catching print, they’re also all shaping a new outline in design, quite literally, as they all sport an unconventional shape.
Whether you’re going curvy, geometric, or angular, these top sports all boast a little bit of ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking, and we’re ready to embrace it.
A particular favourite of ours is the Mala rug, seen above, by A Rum Fellow.
14. Plumped-up seating
(Image credit: Arflex)
Designers are demonstrating how a more relaxed style of seating designs can combine comfort factor and everyday practicality, but with high-level refinement and ultimate style-desirability.
It’s the Italian makers who are leading the way with this look. Bontempi Casa, Edra and Arflex all embracing curves as the newest chair and sofa trend.
Above is the Marenco Outdoor, a revised edition of the original Mario Marenco design, by Italian design brand Arflex. Available in an armchair, two-seater, three-seater and pouf, it’s a celebratory piece for Arflex as it marks 50 years since the first Marenco model hit the furniture design scene. And it would also look drop-dead gorgeous in living rooms too.
15. Ocean hues
(Image credit: Sanderson)
Echoing the reassuring color of the sea, aqua is set to be one of the hottest shades of the season.
Opt in with larger pieces of furniture wrapped in oceanic tones, or hone in on smaller accessory items if you just want a cooling shot of blue-green brilliance. Glass experts Lalique have announced a new curated edit of mantlepiece-worthy vessels which are perfect for propping a mantlepiece or an elegant little side table or cabinet of curiosities, all in this striking shade.
Named after the spiky perennial plant, the Yucca wallpaper design, above, from Sanderson offers a striking stripe pattern for walls. It is available in four tempting colorways – we are sold on the sky/green but there is also botanical green, grey/ silver, and charcoal/gold. Using special surface inks, the wallpapers shimmer in the light and offer eye-catching color for walls.
16. Night sky minerals
Collection Grande Marble Look in Sodalite Blu, Marazzi
(Image credit: Marazzi)
There’s a magical new material trend on the horizon and it’s awash with galaxy inspired finishes. Dark blue, veined with white and pale blue streaks is popping up everywhere, from this vanity unit, above, to luxury table tops. Defying anyone not to leap out of their beds in the morning Marazzi’s show stopping vanity unit created in a ‘Sodalite Blu’ hue is a feat of engineering. The ceramic brand’s ‘Collection Grande Marble’ replicates the intricate qualities and veinings of marble using 6mm porcelain, allowing for the grand impression of weighty slabs with efficient lightweight properties.
While teaming a deep blue Lapislazzuli marble top with an artistically forged bronzed brass base, Poliform’s Ilda side table is the essence of the rustic-luxe look we are all loving. It’s sold as a coffee table but don’t you think it’s jewelled navy hue inspires the perfect bedroom night-cap?

17. Contemporary Trompe L'oeil
(Image credit: Bonaldo)
Meaning literally ‘deceive the eye’, trompe l’oeil is an artistic device or conceit that has been in the artistic landscape for centuries - part demonstration of an artist’s skill, part delight for the viewer. It adds a bit of unexpected humor to the home, a talking point that will make both you and guests marvel with amusement, something that folds nicely into current living room trends.
Bonaldo’s New Perspective Mirror, above, plays with depth and perspective, giving the illusion of a room beyond the mirror and leaving space for the imagination of the person standing before it.
The lines that decorate it are drawn freehand directly on the reflective surface and naively re-produce an additional environment than the reflected one.
18. Arches

When we designed the Arch tile collection for Bert and May, we sensed that arches were just around the corner, so to speak. And it seems we were right. Arched doors have become big news in architecture trends for extensions and renovations, and the gentle curves are softening the hardened edges that have proliferated for so long.
"Harking back to Roman times, arches feel very contemporary all of a sudden," says Livingetc editor Pip Rich. "I'm excited to use our Livingetc tiles from Bert and May in my own bathroom renovation in 2022, as they add a grandeur while remaining friendly at the same time. You can't help but relax in a space with curved edges."
Use as a motif if you're decorating, or as a shape for windows and doors if you're renovating.
19. Colored concrete

Bathroom trends at the moment are very much about injecting personality while keeping to a monastic sense of spa-like serenity, which is where concrete comes in. The vivid hues it now comes in, coupled with the texture and depth it provides, makes it the perfect material for this space.
In fact, colored concrete is having a moment more generally. Seen in kitchens, on the exterior of extensions and used on floors, it is becoming the design world's favorite material. Architect Ben Allen likes it for how robust it is. "Because the pigment runs all the way through, if it chips, the marks don't show up," he says.
20. Cork flooring

Forget those 1970s connotations of orange cork tiles, cork flooring is back, and better than ever. Because of its eco credentials and the ease of sourcing it sustainably, it's actually one of the key flooring trends for 2022, available in a variety of hues.
Cork has natural thermal properties which means it is great for heat insulation and can be a much cheaper alternative to underfloor heating. Which means that its eco points don't stop being collected at just the way it's made. ‘It means a reduction in energy usage and utility bills,’ says Silvi Stoyanova, consultant for flooring company Bricoflor.
21. Portable table lamps
(Image credit: Louis Poulsen)
Let’s be honest, there never was much of an allure attached to the shelf tagged ‘USB lamp’ at the gadget store. Luckily tastes and technology has moved on from the sometimes gimmicky, most often uninspiring rechargeable lighting solutions into an exciting realm of stylish must-have new portable lamp designs by our favourite brands on the market, reinvigorating lighting trends for 2022.
“Without cables acting as a pesky anchor, it’s no surprise cordless lamps have grown in popularity,' says Pooky founder Rohan Black. "Perched on a kitchen shelf as a piece to admire, placed in the bathroom to create a moody members club feel, styled as part of a dining table spread or taken out to your patio as the evenings draw in - with our new ways of living portable lamps provide that much needed all-round flexibility.
”
Luxury Italian furniture band Ethimo has launched a rechargeable table lamp to its existing collection of tactile Gaia lighting, below. Teak bases with colourful linen shades lend an unexpectedly rustic contrast to smart tech associated with portable lamps.

22. Red earth ceramics

With its inherent warmth, red clay makes for a surprising twist on the more commonly seen white ceramics. Often red or ‘brown’ ceramics are associated with more coarse pottery, but there’s a finesse to this new wave of earthy vases and pieces, and an altogether contemporary stylistic edge, which make them avant-garde. Look out for subtle curving forms, an unglazed finish, and an appealing handcrafted raw honesty, ideal to slot into your living room ideas.
23. Wavy wood

Kinked and curved, look out for the modern interpretation of the humblest of materials as a niche but appealing interior design trend for 2022.
It’s a new wave. It’s time to banish straight-edged wooden furniture options in favour of the more fluid curvalicious form . Max Depret, director of homeware at Mauvais Garcon, says, “The 1970's influence we've seen in fashion runways lately has clearly translated into the interior world, and we are very much inclined to see curves and colours coming back into our homes imminently. From trinket trays, vases, pillow cases, or our wavy mirror, look out for these extra pieces to bring out some je ne sais quoi to your home!”.
24. Glazed exterior tiles

Injecting a bright burst of colour that contrasts with traditional brickwork, glazed external tiles provide an eye-catching cladding solution for modern home extension ideas. This stylish finish comes with many practical benefits, too; it’s durable, requires little upkeep and offers an impressive service life of 150 plus years.
‘Glazed exteriors are unexpected and joyful, breaking the norms of London house refurbishments,’ says Melissa Beasley, director at Beasley Dickson Architects. ‘They satisfy the demand for decorative facades, providing an opportunity for a unique, crafted and personalised exterior.’
25. Cocooning furniture
(Image credit: Pacha lounge chair by Pierre Paulin 1975, by Gubi, at Viaduct )
Where home decor trends are concerned, cool cocooning has been gaining pace for a while growing rapidly for 2022. Squishy sofa trends, curvy shapes and snuggly fabrics are hot right now.
“There has been a shift in what customers are looking for some time now - more ‘homely’ comfort seating with deep cushions and more curves generally - a place to lay down as much as to sit,' says James Mair, Founder, Viaduct.
"Comfort, cocooning and creating one’s own world whether it is La Dolce Vita of the Italians or the hygge of the Danes is a key theme."
26. Mediterranean good vibes
(Image credit: Dolce & Gabbana)
Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana has been setting the style agenda for years.
Cherry prints, gothic lace, and now blue and white good time vibes.
With its crisp yet classic color combination, Dolce & Gabbana's Blu Mediterraneo collection evokes the feeling of lazy summer holidays. Now you can enjoy it all year round thanks to pieces which make a statement but remain effortlessly chic. Take your pick from the beautifully crafted pieces including the Giacinto armchair, with its dark stained oak legs and chrome feet, the stylish Atena coffee table and the metal structured Era lamp set. Or simply take them all.
What is the decorating trend for 2023?
There is one main decorating look coming in as a big trend for 2023, and it's for spa-style, or for every room to be so opulent that you can't help to be relaxed.
'The rooms I design have the sensibility of a spa,' says the interior designer Noa Santos. 'Natural materials like marble and stone work together to feel almost monatic, especially in soft neutral tones like creams and beiges.
'
Materials to use for this look include marble, concrete and Taj Mahal quartzite. 'It still looks beautiful after plenty of wear, and means you don’t have to always be policing the use of coasters,' Noa says. 'I also like silver travertine, and we’re using a lot of limewash. It has the same softness and subtleties as Venetian plaster, but if Venetian plaster cracks you have to replace the whole thing. Limewash can easily be touched up, which is so refreshing from a design point of view. As is Tadelakt in a wet room. Imagine all that time saved from not having to scrub grouting clean! Colorwise, we work with a lot of natural shades like ivory and beige, which feel more long lasting than jewel tones. Though I do love blue stone and a green marble called Guatemala Verde. It’s so dramatic.'
What is the color for 2023
Paprika is big news for 2023, and is set to be the most exciting interior design trend of the year. Brands like Galotti&Radice, Ethimo and Flexform showed paprika-colored designs recently, and it's a spicier take on terracotta that makes rooms feel warm and welcoming.
'Paprika works well with red-based browned and honeyed tones, which are both interior design trends in their own right,' says Livingetc's editor Pip Rich. 'They speak to a desire to have rooms feel like they're giving you a hug. My advice would be to paint walls a red-based brown, ceilings a honeyed amber and use paprika as furnishings. It's a brave look but will feel so sumptuous.'
Rory Alastair Robertson has a long-standing history working across the interiors industry. Raised in Morningside, Edinburgh, Rory grew up surrounded by classically grand Scottish Georgian and Victorian architecture.
His first appreciation for interior decoration sparked when his mother hired scaffolding and decorated their three-storey Victorian staircase in Farrow & Ball Picture Gallery Red, by herself. She then painstakingly gold leafed the drawing room - by hand - over a base coat of Sudbury Yellow. This was the era of Jocasta Innes and Kenneth Turner, when paint techniques and maximalist style were the decorating raison d'être.
With this inherited gene of creativity, Rory went on to study Interior Architecture at the University of Edinburgh, and later, Theatre Set Design and Architectural Illustration at The Rhode Island School of Design on America's East Coast.
Rory's foray with the editorial world started a decade ago at Livingetc magazine, a title which he regularly contributes to today. Specialising with a deep-seated appreciation for historical homes and interiors, Rory often travels far and wide to be inspired by unique properties with a fascinating history.
If he’s not uncovering an unusual National Trust property in the UK, then he’s seeking out a Neo-Classical clifftop villa in Capri or a Palazzo in Florence.
Based in London’s Shoreditch, working as a Senior Interiors Editor and Consultant, Rory's portfolio of work is a creative melting pot of residential and commercial interior design projects and a plethora of editorial writing work. Rory is also Guest Interiors Lecturer at the prestigious KLC School of Interior Design in Chelsea, London.
His most cosseted possession is a ramshackle Citroen Deux Chevaux, which he has reupholstered in Pierre Frey yellow and turquoise silk fabric.

Interior Design Trends 2022: Experts Share What’s in This Year
By Elise Taylor
Curved shapes, textures, and nature-inspired interiors are all trends named by top interior designers for 2022. This room by Athena Calderone combines all three.Photo: By Adrian Gaut

For millennia, interior design trends have been used as aesthetic aids in our attempts to find some sort of inner peace: take the ancient Chinese art of feng shui, where spatial positioning corresponds with energy flow, or wabi sabi, the Japanese practice of embracing an imperfections, or ancient Rome's fondness for using earth-tone colors and geometric patterns in order to mimic the harmony of nature.
“There is more and more research that shows the direct influence that our homes have, not only on our moods, but our overall health and well-being,” interior designer Timothy Corrigan of Timothy Corrigan Inc. tells Vogue. So is it any wonder that in 2022—our third consecutive year in a global pandemic—the top interior design trends are again focused on making us feel emotionally at ease?
“We have been forced to slow down and spend time in our homes—this drives a strong desire to really create a space that reflects both visually and affectionately what it is we are feeling. As of lately we are paying close attention to how design has the ability to create an energy,” says Erick Garcia of the Los Angeles-based design firm Maison Trouvaille. “This all excites me very much—allowing the senses to drive a space.”
And what, exactly, are our senses drawn to in 2022? 14 top interior designers have some ideas. For starters, several predict the rise of the enveloping, earthy color of brown, displayed in fabrics like leather or even in terracotta walls (how Ancient Rome of us).
Others see a spike in nature-inspired surfaces and accents—think marbles and mushroom shapes—while others say their clients can’t get enough soft, curvy furniture. Essentially, anything that feels warm, welcoming and cozy is in: “Clients are asking for warmth, comfort and airiness—this seems to be a common thread amongst current and past projects,” says Garcia. Athena Calderone, founder of Eyeswoon, agrees: “Who wouldn’t want to design a room that feels like a warm hug?”
Then, there’s the pandemic reality that our homes have become the main settings of our lives: where we work, sleep, and socialize. Every corner, and every object we're surrounded by, must serve some sort of purpose. Perhaps it’s a functional one—Kelly Wearstler touts the rise of useful domestic technology—or an emotional one, like Mark D. Sikes's prediction that we will see more travel-inspired interiors. “We really want to examine what we love, what we want to live with every day and for years to come,” concludes Robin Standefer of Roman and Williams.
Meanwhile, some popular design choices of the past several years are falling to the wayside. Boucle's moment, it seems, is over, as is the all-white minimalism that may look crisp, yet provides little visual comfort. “The trend that I believe is going the way of the past is all white everything,” says Justina Blakeney, founder of Jungalow. Adds Kathryn M. Ireland, “The minimal look is at last warming up.”
Below, the top interior design trends to know in 2022—as well as what’s on its way out.

What’s In
Shades of Brown
“Chocolate browns, camels and caramels—there has been so much color and pattern, especially pastels, the last few years and I think people will be ready for a palette cleanser.” -Mark D. Sikes
“Chocolate brown is back! And I for one as a ’70s baby am thrilled. But this time chocolate brown won’t only play with orange shag (cue my childhood living room) but also play well with other colors as a deep neutral for rich elegant timeless spaces.
” -Danielle Colding, Danielle Colding Design

“Neutrals will take a bit of a back seat in 2022 as people start to experiment with color again, but the palette will stay very close to hues you’d find in nature. We predict paint rollers will be dipped in rosy, terracotta tones, swathing rooms from wall to ceiling for a complete monochromatic moment that envelops you in its coziness.” -Athena Calderone
“I think we're going to see a return of earthy browns in 2022—from cognac to burnt umber.” -Justina Blakeney

Nature-Inspired Surfaces and Objects
“With more time spent indoors than ever before, we’re all seeking to strengthen our connection with nature. This has simultaneously inspired a resurgence in natural surfaces—think stoneware, terracotta, marble, and travertine being used across the board from backsplashes to bathtubs, furniture, and decorative objects.
The raw, porous, imperfect nature of these organic materials adds depth, soul, and visual intrigue while also mimicking the calming, restorative ambiance of the outdoors. This lure back to nature has also sparked an interest in large trees at home, from the elegant black olive to Southern magnolias.” -Athena Calderone
Most Popular
“Texture and things from the earth and the hand, like Akiko Hirai's pots. The inaugural show we launched at our new gallery, that Vogue covered with a beautiful story on women and clay, represents a devotion and decisive movement in design to defining art as objects you live with.” -Robin Standefer
“With folks looking to bring a little magic into their lives after a couple of very tough years, I see earth's magical wonders taking center stage: objects made from sparkling crystals and swirling marbles, mushroom silhouettes, pieces that incorporate raw natural materials and exotic flora and fauna motifs.
” -Justina Blakeney
“As a designer it is refreshing to see a return to material-driven applications—and it doesn't seem to be cooling off. We see a desire for rich marbles, soft and organic materials, warmer tones and griege vs white on walls, earthy elements like wood, stone, and clay—this is all so classic and refreshing as it brings life to a space.” -Erick Garcia
Sculptural and Curved Furniture
“A curved form is subconsciously read as safe, friendly and welcoming. With everyone feeling a bit precious I think those softer shapes and angles will still be a big trend in 2022 in furniture as well as architecture.” -Sarah Sherman Samuel
“I love sculptural furniture. Our Catalpa series, named after a plant, is a perfect combination of nature and culture. ” -Robin Standefer
“More gracious and sensual shapes, curved edges and deep, luxuriant seats.” -Martyn Lawrence Bullard
Venetian Plaster and Limewash
“Living/antiqued plaster walls.
Plaster finishes have been everything for a long time, but now we will start to see the prevalence of walls that evoke times past in a new way. Made by craftsmen who know how to achieve antiqued surfaces, walls will be the textured backgrounds of our historical, crumbling, dreams.” -Danielle Colding
As the pandemic continues, elevated outdoor furniture is set to be a trend in 2022. Here, a lawn space by Timothy Corrigan.Photo: By Amy Barnard
Elevated Outdoor Furniture
“Outdoor furniture will become more sophisticated and refined as we continue to spend more time entertaining outdoors, and our patios become true extensions of our interior décor." -Timothy Corrigan
Tactile Textiles and Textures
"We have been playing around with patterned jute to add more texture and depth to our spaces. I see a lot of people exploring different types of patterned jute, rush and abaca in 2022 as a way to expand that neutral foundation a rug provides and have some fun with pattern play.
" -Jake Arnold, founder of The Expert
Most Popular
“As a textile fanatic and color maven, revamping fabrics is where I feel you get most bang. My son Otis has added mohairs and velvets alongside his elegant linens at @otistextiles. I’ve been working in Scotland on some colorful tartans, crushed velvets and large patterned prints to celebrate 2022, the 25th year of my textile line.” -Kathryn M. Ireland
Dual-Purpose Rooms
“As we get into another year of COVID variants, our living spaces continue to double as our work rooms, which is the new normal. The kitchen continues as the conference room and The Farmhouse Table is the new boardroom table.” -Kathryn M. Ireland
“Rooms will be designed for double duty; i.e. dining rooms walls lined with wine storage or books, guest rooms fitted with desks, bedrooms equipped with exercise equipment. As people spend more time in their homes, they expect the spaces to work harder for them.
” -Timothy Corrigan
High-Tech Homes
“Design continues to evolve with new advances in technology. Myself and many designers are embracing virtual design by leveraging this powerful new technology to create immersive spaces and highly engaging designs that feel both contemporary and futuristic.” -Kelly Wearstler
Vintage and Sustainable Accents
“Whenever I can use vintage, I will. From a design standpoint, vintage is the protagonist of every room—it has the power to influence the storytelling and direction. Their patina brings a touchable texture and warmth to every space, not to mention a sacred sentimentality. But aside from their decorative propensity, these rare antiquities are stylishly sustainable. By repurposing the old, the damaged, the jagged into something new, we’re reducing our footprint while bringing a rich sense of history and spirit into a space.” -Athena Calderone
“We are starting to see lots of new brilliant options for sustainable fabrics and materials.
I think this should now be a priority for all designers.” -Marcus Barwell, Managing Director of Soho House Design
Leather Furniture and Upholstery
“1989 is calling and it wants … Sade, Lisa Stansfield-soft Italian leather sofas, Calvin Klein home, Armani Casa, and Terence Conran back!” -Robert McKinley, founder of Studio McKinley
“Leather in rich tones offset cooler metals and have the ability to tell a story over time as they wear through use—we shouldn't be afraid of age showing its face.” -Erick Garcia

A More Modern Grandmillenial
“Trends for 2022 include the embracing of floral patterns, a sort of 1940s updated chintz vibe, resplendent in the memory of Mario Buatta, but in more contemporary palettes. The ‘grandmillennial’ look that was slowly infiltrating influencers and taste makers in 2021 is now become more widespread, moving tastes back to a “more is more” look.
But unlike our grandparents’ interiors, the feel is more curated with floral and damask-printed wallpapers becoming the backdrop for contemporary-shaped soft furnishings given an added touch of glamour with unexpected fringe and piping additions.” -Martyn Lawrence Bullard

Up-and-Coming Artwork
“Art collections focused on up and coming artists and artists of color. Gone are the days of high-brow art collecting dominating the scene. My clients are looking for fresh faces on the art scene. They also want collections that reflect the diversity of our world and the perspectives these artists offer.” -Daniele Colding
Travel-Inspired Interiors
“People will be traveling again, so interiors will take on a nomadic adventurous flare.
I see lots of tenting and low banquettes with Turkish poofs and cigarette tables.” -Mark D. Sikes

Mixing Materials and Design Styles
"The desire to have unique things that are not like everyone else’s is leading to an increase in mixing materials in furniture design. It is not uncommon to see case goods with wood, metal and stone elements all used in the same piece, to make them more unique and special.” -Timothy Corrigan
“There is a trend emerging that is reminiscent of the late ’80s and early ’90s. Two directions come to mind. One being very natural—white and creams, mixed with dark natural wood and washed linen textiles and black-and-white photography. The other is dark and moody mixed with stainless steel, jovial multicolor schemes and color blocking. Some avant-garde sculptural elements that evoke the style of Ettore Sottsass.
”-Robert McKinley

“Paying attention to the subtleties will be important in 2022—like how a beautiful Brazilian vintage solid wood arm chair by Sergio Rodrigues can offset an otherwise contemporary home, activating the space, adding warmth and invitation.” -Erick Garcia
Bold Patterns and Colors
“I believe we will see a move away from neutrals and people will be using more vibrant colors and bold patterned fabrics. Citrus green and RAF blue are colors I think we will see a lot of.” -Marcus Barwell
“The years of dull and muted colors have given way to bright, joyful colors that put a smile on your face.” -Timothy Corrigan
“The undecorated layered look of Bohemia celebrated by The Charleston Set, aka The Bloomsbury Group who bravely mixed patterned wallpapers with their art, will be setting the tone for 2022.” -Kathryn M. Ireland
“Wallpaper continues to be a dominant element in interiors, with strong patterns and more textured materials being used to create spaces that envelop and cocoon you.
” -Timothy Corrigan
What’s Out
Open Floor Plans
“Open floor plans will give way to more segmented and traditional spaces, delineations, as we have come to realize the need for privacy and quiet spaces.” -Timothy Corrigan
Boucle
“White and cream boucle. I think after two years it’s time to move on.” -Marcus Barwell
“Boucle chairs. I still love them but there is a point where enough is enough.” -Danielle Colding
All-White Everything
“The trend that I believe is going the way of the past is all white everything.” -Justina Blakeney
“We will see more saturated colored rooms that envelop and welcome you into a space and less of the all white everything.” -Sarah Sherman Samuel
Non-functional Decorative Objects
“Colored candles and useful everyday objects with personality will be replacing futile decorations that have neither meaning or purpose.” -Kathryn M. Ireland
Boxy Sofas
“The square armed boxy sofa has definitely been retired.
” -Martyn Lawrence Bullard
60 best photos, trends, styles, colors, ideas in 2022
Julia Boyko, interior designer
— The new decade is a time of change for mix and variety. Style in its "pure" form is less and less common, individualism is a trend. The apartment becomes a mirror, a combination of memories, attitudes and habits. Emotional design is what most people want to see. Therefore, the main style of 2022 can be called eclecticism. Freedom in everything does not allow focusing on one current. If it's Scandinavian style, minimalism, classic and art deco, where there are a lot of overloaded details, all this can get boring after a couple of years. Therefore, an eclectic approach helps to combine times and textures. Nowadays, it is no longer strange to see new furniture and items from the flea market, as well as items brought from travels, in the same interior. Such a mix is perceived with special interest, things add expressiveness and modulate the space, where it will be more pleasant to be.
Eclecticism is good because it can be very different, both "naive" design, simple in form, and "brilliant" postmodern. Thus, different generations and lifestyles of people are connected. nine0005
Simple and understandable minimalism expands and gradually gives way to a minimalist interior filled with some kind of philosophy. That is, there is a certain transformation of minimalism into eclecticism. Usually it is a laconic, calm interior in restrained colors with a small number of bright accents. A mixture of digital technologies, a shabby book and a simple-shaped table, "smart technology" and "grandmother's" plaid - all this is fresh eclecticism. It tells us about individualization, the desire for which was formed as a result of the appearance of a large number of identical interiors - loft or scandi, stamped pieces of furniture. Now the mood has changed to the personalization of their space and the purity of forms. nine0005
When it comes to finishing materials, the wood trend remains timeless in interior design, it is always up-to-date.
A tree can be combined in absolutely different shapes and sizes, while individual elements can also be framed with it. It is interesting to supplement natural material with metals. The key metals for decor are: gold, brass and bronze. All shades of marble and travertine will also continue to please us and will be used both in the decoration of the bathroom and, for example, on the floor in the bedroom. Simple materials such as concrete, plywood, cork and rattan will contrast with the pomp of metal and marble. The move is tried and tested, but very modern. The terrazzo trend is no longer at the height of fashion, but will still hold its own in 2022. nine0005
Color combinations in interior design are welcomed in a variety of ways: from complex, rich and dramatic tones to soothing pastels. Also, two palettes - dark and light - will always find their adherents. Color institutions dictate their versions to us, but at the same time they are all united by one main idea - to connect man with nature.
Therefore, among the popular shades of the 2022 season, you can see: classic blue, rich dark green, deep sea shade, delicate green, sky blue, pale pink, positive shade of lemonade. nine0005
Furniture trends, as well as finishes, have a strong focus on sustainability, with a preference for higher quality and durable items, as well as furniture made from recycled and recycled materials. The abundance of goods from the mass market has generated interest in collaborations, a kind of collections that come out in small series, emphasizing the elitism and originality of the product. Modern man no longer likes to meet the same thing on every corner. Individuality is a trend. If we talk about functionality, then the priority is the proper organization of storage, built-in furniture, everything that does not allow you to litter the interior without losing comfort. To organize the space, modular furniture is used, which simultaneously performs several functions and takes up little space. These are racks, sofas, armchairs, cabinets that form convenient connections in use.
Not the first year the fashion for rounded furniture has been kept. Bay-window sofas, cozy armchairs, consoles, poufs, tables have come into use with smooth lines and serve as inspiration from 1970s.
what's in and out of interior fashion • Interior+Design
The main trend is mass individualization. Design is not for everyone, but for everyone. Designers are thinking about an eclectic interior - a mix of styles and stylistics best expresses the personality and its passions. The call is: ignore the trends, personalize the interior and show your emotions!

Technological innovation is taking on a particular urgency. Novelties in design: multifunctional devices, home robots, household appliances with Internet access. Ceiling lights, kettles and refrigerators are controlled from a smartphone. Kitchens in modern homes are reminiscent of professional chefs' playgrounds, both in terms of the level of technology and the quality of the dishes prepared on them. nine0005
A new generation of design enthusiasts has buried fake industrial chic and loft style, dubious urban country and glittery hotel glamour. Beige interiors are finally gone, giving way to color and ornament.
Rational Danish design is at the peak of popularity in Europe, but it is being pushed back by Italian maximalism.
The concept of "decorated interior" is rapidly going out of fashion. People want to be designers themselves. The idea of a stylized, deliberately decorated interior with "skillfully" arranged still lifes seems outdated. nine0005

1. Maximalism In 2017, fashion design teams such as Dimorestudio, Peter Pilotto or LaDoubleJ introduced us to unforgettably extravagant interiors. Contrasting prints and ornaments, a powerful mix of different styles and times, the return of the 80s is a departure from the Scandinavian-inspired minimalism that has dominated in recent years.
Maximalism has not yet gained momentum at the general consumer level, but it will happen very soon. Consumers want to express themselves, and maximalism (sometimes bordering on kitsch) allows them to do so. “The consumer no longer wants to be told stories (he tells them himself), he wants to empathize and enjoy new experiences,” says Vincent Gregoire, NelliRody style agency. “As the rhythms have accelerated, we are mixing the concepts of good and bad taste, high and low brands, liberating the fantasy.” nine0005

2. Parallel universes Designers, restaurateurs and manufacturers join forces. Together they create colorful and joyful events, new designs that take us from the busy metropolis to parallel universes - warm, whimsical and exotic. Under the influence of this trend, furniture acquires bright, bold colors, surfaces play with reflections. The user is encouraged to talk about the interior as a dreamlike, sensory experience.

3. Instagram-ready Every beginner decorator will have an accent wall now. “The digital revolution is changing the rules,” says Vincent Gregoire. “Becoming stylists, we work on the image and take care of our own home as a “showroom” where our life and our passions are on display.” Design trends are interior for the sake of a frame that will be loved and hated, liked and posted on social networks. Theatrical effects, narcissism and decorative exhibitionism are what awaits advanced users in the 2018/2019 season.

4. Timeless The last century is cited, republished and becoming more and more expensive. The fashion for post-war modernism - "modernism with a human face" is not going to leave us in 2018. Furniture has become much more rounded and feminine, and new designs and things in the spirit of the 30-50s are boldly combined with later quotes from the bourgeois-bohemian 70s and radical 80s. Miuccia Prada exhibits armchairs of Brazilian modernists in Miami, Memphis anti-design begins to gain new fans. For Fendi, Chiara Andreatti worked on the concept of the friendly living room "Welcome!". The ideas of animated luxury and elegance were combined by the new star of decor with the bourgeoisie 1970s, homage to the masters of the Viennese Secession and the Italian design diva Gabriella Crespi.

5. Vienna Secession 2017 marked the centenary of Ettore Sottsass, the fun and radical Memphis furniture.
Nostalgic and sophisticated fashionistas in 2018 are invited to remember the teapots and vases of Koloman Moser, the architectural furniture of Adolf Loos and Josef Hoffmann. In 2018, countless exhibitions and auctions will be devoted to Viennese Art Nouveau and the centenary deaths of the artists Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and the architect Otto Wagner. nine0005

6. Capsule collections More and more manufacturers are using an interdisciplinary approach, attracting authors from related industries. Graphic artists, famous architects, fashion designers become the authors of carpets, tables and washbasins. Collaboration products are released in small batches, emphasizing the elitism and uniqueness of the product. nine0005

7. Bespoke Bespoke, made-to-measure and custom-made items will increasingly appear in our homes. Both local artisans and global businesses are touting "flexible" solutions: interiors that adjust to the owner's needs.
8. Modular furniture Novelties in design - vans and couches, shelving and low tables form intricate connections, like Japanese puzzles. Models in the spirit of Lombrico, B&B Italia, known as the “endless” sofa of Marco Zanuso, one of the most popular in the 70s, will decorate spacious lounges. nine0005
Luca Niketto and Oki Sato (Nendo) created the Isole modular furniture series based on the principle of writing Japanese tanka quintuples, which are started by one person and finished by another.
9. Sculptural furniture Objects of strange asymmetrical proportions or furniture resembling abstract sculptures are on the wave.
Such things are collectible and there should not be many of them.

10. Polished furniture Design trends - polished instead of brushed, rosewood instead of textured oak - Italian furniture makers, furniture fashion guides are passionate about finishes in the spirit of the 80s. Red-brown sideboards, chests of drawers and credenzas, beds in a polished frame appeared in the latest collections of top brands.

11. Mirrors and arches Elements of theatrical scenography actively penetrate the house. Semi-circular arches and large, irregularly shaped slanted mirrors dramatize the interior.
12. Velvet explosion A holiday of everyday luxury? No fabric will create it better than velvet. Especially in precious tones such as sapphire, citrine, emerald, amethyst and pink garnet. In 2018 interiors, velvet is used as an accent fabric or in tandem with furniture of modern silhouettes. nine0005

16. New Botany In addition to the increased demand for houseplants with expressive leaves, bookcases and planters for climbing plants are returning to the interior.
Succulents were replaced by cissus, ivy and "grandmother's" tradescantia, freely hanging from the ceiling. And the tropical jungle and intense floral print and new designs are not going to leave the walls and upholstery, delighting those who are passionate about the 70s.
17. Boho Chic Macrame, peasant prints, Indian carpets and wallpapers with elephants, monkeys and paisley patterns - the hippie style of the 70s is returning to youth bedrooms. nine0005

18. Cozy life Retail stores, cafes, hotels, work spaces look like living rooms, the boundaries between work and leisure are becoming increasingly blurred. Spaces focused on acquiring new experience more than aesthetics will be popular. More and more furniture "for home and garden" appears. Lightweight, portable items made in the spirit of "urban camping" are distinguished by a cheerful color and a playful element.

19. Cozy home The hygge trend will continue in 2018. We still have a desire for a simple, calm, unobtrusive lifestyle, where the house is our main refuge in a politically turbulent noisy world. Everything that provides comfort, silence and a kind of Digital Detox is appreciated - cocoon chairs, sound-absorbing curtains and cozy soft sofas. The Swedish word Lagom has enriched the hygge trend - it translates as "not to small and not to too much." Relaxing cool calm spaces are in fashion. The opportunity to inhale fresh air without leaving the city and relax without going to the spa is appreciated, and designers design things that are favorable for the psyche. Emotional States - Emotional well-being will be the theme of the London Design Biennale in autumn 2018. nine0005

20. Imperfect perfection Attention is drawn to furniture made by people, not machines. In object design, technocraft triumphs - things created using handicrafts and ancient techniques, along with the latest technologies and / or materials. The decorators recalled the Japanese principle of wabi-sabi, the emphasis on using objects made with inherent imperfections and an accentuated sense of authenticity. nine0005

22. Local Resources Today designers have access to any resources available in the world with one click of a computer mouse. However, many are increasingly paying attention to the products not of global brands, but of modest local producers. “My clients prefer me to invest their money in the local economy,” says American designer Max Humphrey. “I choose local tables and chairs, lamps, tiles and lumber.” nine0005
23. Utility materials Plywood (i.e. multi-layered wood), concrete (for furniture and textured accessories), terrazzo (concrete with marble chips), rattan, bamboo (even for flooring), linen canvas returned among the rich selection of materials , mohair and army cloth. Favorites of the 70s are seen in the interior - wicker furniture, abacus lampshades and birch bark boxes.
Next in line in the near future are glass blocks, laminate and the hit of the 90s - synthetic fur.

24. Weird recycling New in design - furniture made from recycled computers and smartphones; skin from pineapple leaves; corn husk tiles are some of the hard-to-recycle materials that emerged in 2017. Seattle Solanki, director of design studio Ma.tt.er, believes 2018 will see a lot of glamorous, sleek surfaces that eschew the stereotypes of a "recycled" aesthetic.
25. New poverty According to the style agency PeclersParis, man and nature have reconciled. In a world where the catastrophes associated with climate change and the depletion of natural resources are on the rise, more than ever people are aware of the need to preserve it. Eco-friendly furniture without chemicals - chairs, tables and consoles 2018 must be durable and show their simple "natural origin".

26. Stone White Carrara marble is crowded with unexpected iterations of stone, such as gray and green. High-quality materials, including onyx and agate, are beautiful, natural, adding texture and depth to any design. The move is tried and tested, but very modern.
27. Ceramics Simple ceramics, hand-painted earthenware and carved wooden bowls will not leave the homes of fans of the Scandinavian hygge trend. Ceramic vases and vessels will become larger, deliberately expressive, attracting attention with their handiwork. nine0005

28. Light is the new color Good lighting is still the key to keeping a room warm and cozy.
There are more and more sources of light. And designers consider light as an independent material: light streams are twisted into letters and poured like liquids. As technology advances, designers explore color gradients from glowing threads stretched across the room like clotheslines. Portable, rechargeable and even foldable table lamps are all the rage. And desperate optimists have already appeared who propose to treat the mini-lamp as a piece of jewelry. nine0046
Designers Christiana Jopato and Christopher Coombes Giopato & Coombes named the new collection Gioielli (it. “jewel”).
29. Colored ceiling or floor Emphasis moves from walls to ceiling. Graphic ornament or dark color - everything is possible. Hardwood parquet comes in increasingly complex patterns and material combinations. Kaleidoscopes and parquet mosaics are in vogue: boards of various shapes are lined with chevrons, Binet cubes, octahedrons, etc.
Any combinations of not only sizes, but materials are welcome. Wood will be complemented with elements made of ceramics, concrete, metal and natural stone. nine0005
30. Subfloor Black is gaining popularity in sanitary ware and furniture, so it is only natural that it will become a trend on the floor as well. Charcoal shades will appear in the floor tiles.

31. Black metal Polished metal and other trendy materials such as brass, bronze and copper have become mainstream. Black finishes are in vogue. We are waiting for total black kitchens and bathrooms in black stainless steel and black slate and feasts with black knives and forks. Concrete, granite, slate and rusty metals replaced the elegant combination of white marble + steel + light wood. nine0005
For the first time in its history, Behr, a brand of the American company The Home Depot, announces the color of the year.
In 2018, it was the shade In Moment. Erika Woelfel, vice president of Color & Creative Services, says the shade "evokes a sense of peace."
32. Blue-Green Each year, the leading paint manufacturers announce their own color of the year. They often don't agree, but this year three top brands have chosen bluish green as their defining color: Behr has chosen In Moment; Dunn-Edwards chose a similar shade called The Green Hour; Sherwin-Williams - Oceanside, a deep, sumptuous "wandering color". We are seeing a shift towards more melancholy, more gloomy interiors. Dark walls, a muted palette dominated by shades of the sea wave. nine0005
33. Pink and red Millennials love pink. Blush "gained weight" in home textiles, finishing materials, accessories - everywhere. With pink and orange-powder tones today combine shades of sage and dusty blue. The palette of pink becomes more complex, it is complemented by carmine-red and terracotta shades.
Next up is red. Bright, decadent and dazzling, red will bring fashion and passion to the interior.
