More vintage than ever
“With the emergence of supply chain shortages and a significant increase in focus on the environment, I believe that celebrating one-of-a-kind discoveries will be an increasingly important trend in the new year,” predicts Next Wave designer, Sarah Hillary. “Not only does the vintage find a greener option for design with upcycling, but it’s also full of unique details that are pricey to recreate.”
Antique shopping is not only an efficient and sustainable option, but it adds significant character to a space. “Homes should celebrate our individuality and furniture choices are an important part of that,” says Hillary. “The exquisitely decorated vintage piece reflects a love and respect for history and story, just as freshly painted antiques show the value of the past while also creating a colorful and playful environment.” And you can be sure that none of your neighbors will have the same!

Lots of natural materials
Rodrigo Alber, founder of Studio RODA, believes that in 2022 we will see a focus on natural materials, especially in places like living rooms. “Living room design trends reflect the revolution against fast fashion, and now aim to extend life and immortality,” he explains to Beautiful house. “Individuals seek a more responsible approach to design so that their living spaces “live longer” by incorporating elements that envelop their surroundings.
The designer incorporated this type of design into Villa Valencia, “where the living room showcases natural wood mixed with limestone, resulting in a calm, natural setting that balances the historic Mediterranean facades of the Coral Gables neighborhood, while maintaining a modernity,” he explains. .

black accents
“Black accents and appliances will be a popular home trend that we’ll see in 2022,” predicts Shana Alvarez, interior designer at Living Spaces. It’s a great way to add some edge and depth to more simple spaces: “Choose light, neutral colors for key elements in your space, such as paint colors and large sofas, and incorporate touches of black for contrast,” she advises. “Black accents like lamps will really help accent the area and add interesting depth. Even switching black knobs on existing pieces like side tables or TV cabinets will add great contrast to the space.”

natural lighting
“We anticipate that multifunctional living spaces with access to daylight and views will continue to be key to apartment living in 2022,” says Stephen Brockman, partner at Deborah Burke Partners.
“Given the amount of time we spend at home these days, large windows and high ceilings are critical—they enhance outside views and provide an abundance of daylight, both of which are effective stress relievers that never run out,” explains Brockmann. He showed the effect of this in a New York City bedroom at Julie, an apartment complex located at 77 Greenwich Street.

woven fabrics
“Bring the woven fabrics!” Cheer stylist Julia Longchamps. Maybe it’s a reaction to a year and a half spent getting comfortable at home, or the product of increased attention to detail, but “velvet, sherpas, and buckles are the ‘it’ fabrics of 2022,” she says. And for good reason: “Comfortable fabrics not only feel amazing, they look elegant and luxurious. We’ll also see fringe taking a front seat next year on furniture, especially sofas and ottomans.”

Versatile spaces
“The pandemic has led us to recognize the importance of the ‘home’ as a haven,” says designer Alice Dahpura Burgess. Later, she believes, “we will continue to see the demand for diversity in a home where one space can be transformed and configured for different activities: a dining table or a kitchen island that doubles as a desk.”
7
Mixing dark and earthy tones
“For 2022, I’m feeling a shift from dark and moody to rich and deep,” Metal + Petal co-founder Jade Joyner predicts. “I’m really into tone right now. I see a lot of brown, copper, and earthy tones with a mix of black and gray.”
The designer adds that “Knot wood, once again, is having a moment in the moment as highly sculptural pieces. Sofas with curves and chairs with smooth lines. Forged metal is truly a sensation and will continue into 2022. A gorgeous forged metal chair can add a contemporary element to any space” .
8
Living room bars
Designer Emma Green believes that living room bars and drink carts will be huge in 2022. “This trend started during lockdowns, and since we’re all used to staying home more, it has continued unabated,” she explains. ‘This living room shows off a bespoke bar by Emma Green Design and built into an unused alcove. This clever use of space provides true purpose for this adults-only entertaining space. The navy blue offsets the neutral gray of the hallway and lounge, reflective antiques as well as all of her client’s lovely eyewear. “.

More houseplants!
Sarah Yannisillo, director of design at Whitehall Interiors, found that “luxury in buildings is becoming increasingly important to developer and occupant.” Of course, “Because indoor plants have a calming effect and promote fresh air, you can expect to see more living walls and hanging plants in both rest areas and residences.”
10
a lot of marbles
Eilyn Jimenez, founder and creative director of Sire Design, sees “Bold, heavy balls make their way into the design world and stay for a very long time. Rough, rugged, and fresh slabs will be massively introduced into interior design – and you can never go wrong with too much marble.”
