Soft, transparent & playful - interior design 2022 offers many new trends to fall in love with.

TRANSPARENT INTERIOR DETAILSĀ 

The first trend forĀ interior design in 2022 is transparent interior details. We also saw this trend among the autumn interior design trendsĀ forĀ 2021,Ā andĀ it willĀ onlyĀ grow in popularity next year.Ā From transparent furniture and lightingĀ toĀ handmadeĀ glassesĀ andĀ clear glassĀ vases that beautifully reflectĀ theirĀ contents -Ā inĀ 2022, our interior is transparent.

Interior design for 2022 is all about transparent details, here we see the Essence tumblers in moss green and the Ultima tumblers, both from Iittala in a glass case.

80ā€™S PASTELS & COLOUR POP

The pops of colour in our interiors for 2022 come from cool, soft pastels that flirt with the 80's and complement perfectly theĀ calmingĀ neutral coloursĀ within the rest of our interior.Ā For something with a stronger statement pick anĀ accentĀ colourĀ that falls on the border of neon.Ā Bring some colourĀ into your interior through interior detailsĀ made fromĀ porcelain and playful glass.Ā 

This interior design trend for 2022 clearly reflects our desire for a more playful interior and everyday life.
Purple is the trendiest colour for our interior in 2022 and preferably in a soft lavender just like this table lamp from HK Living

Tones of purple will find their way into our interior in 2022 - from soft lavender in the spring to sophisticated plum during the autumn.

50Ā SHADES OF PURPLE

One colour that deserves its very own bullet point on the list of trends in interior design 2022 is purple. This (occasionally) controversial colour will take over our homes next year in all sorts of shades: from soft lavender to deep, sophisticated plum purple in all its forms will be visible in one way or another throughout 2022.

PATCH WORK DESIGN

If chess patterns are the big pattern trend this autumn, then patch work will beĀ the number one forĀ 2022. This trend is expected to break through mainly next autumn and winter, but of course we can already see early traces of itĀ inĀ brands such asLinesand! Patchwork patterns give your home a beautiful sense of craftsmanship as well as the opportunity to put together something that has been damaged and allow it to become part of the look in our interior in 2022.Ā 

Sandy tones and ceiling lamps in rattan fit perfectly into the desert theme we see among the trends for interior design 2022.

In 2022, we will draw inspiration from the scorching sun and velvety sand to decorate with colours and details that give the home desert vibes.

BURNT TONES OF ORANGE & RED


With the previous trend in mind, it is easy to see how deeper hues are leaning towards fiery shades of orange and red in 2022 - both forĀ theĀ summer and winter season. As always withĀ colour-basedĀ trends, you can choose to pickĀ them up inĀ smaller interior details such as textiles and vases or you can invest heavily with a statement piece inĀ 2022ā€™s hottestĀ colour trends.Ā 

AN UNPOLISHED LOOK

Interior design trends for 2022 revolve around the imperfect and unpolished.Ā Gone is the immaculate, predesigned look, on the contrary - in 2022 we embrace perfectly imperfect design thatĀ promotesĀ handmadeĀ crafts and givesĀ your interiorĀ aĀ little extraĀ detailing to catch your eye. Here we again see the patchwork technique emerging from textiles such as lamps.Ā 

METAL FINISH

Among the materials that will take place in our interior in 2022, we are welcoming metals once again. Lamps and interior details with a metal finish feel just right next year!

Burnt tones of orange and red will be big in our interiors in 2022 - seen here on the Casca vase from Ferm Living.

WAVY SHAPES

Organic shapes often reappear in interior design trends and in 2022 we will focus more on undulating, wavy shapes. Everything should move very smoothly or give the impression of doing so. In interior design 2022, we see undulating shapes in everything from how aĀ throwĀ fallsĀ on the sofaĀ to cutlery and mirrors.

Wavy shapes are a clear trend among interior design 2022 - here a curved towel hanger from Ferm Living in brass.

Wavy shapes will return within our interiors in 2022 in everything from hooks to mirrors!

MIRRORSĀ 

Mirror, mirror - one of the biggest interior details that has characterised our interior design choices in recent years has been the mirror. From round forms toĀ moreĀ undulating shapes of interior designĀ inĀ 2022 - we are still interested inĀ decoratingĀ with lots of mirrors forĀ the appearance ofĀ more space and harmonyĀ in the home.Ā 

QUILTED TEXTILESĀ 

In 2022, we will love quilted duvets, pillows and bedspreads for our interior. This luxurious textile technique is part and parcel of the patchwork design we mentioned earlier and will be extra visible in 2022 when combined with this year's colour palette of burnt and sandy tones.Ā

In 2022, we will be grabbing quilted blankets, pillows and bedspreads for our interior - preferably in burnt or sand-coloured tones!

CALMING NEUTRALSĀ 

Even though a burst of colour is predicted to be seen in our interiors in 2022, we cannot ignore the calmingĀ neutral colours that continue toĀ promote a sense of peace throughout the home.Ā Creamy white, beige and soft, earthy tones continue to stand strong in our interior and it isĀ luckyĀ because we can not get enough.Ā 

BALANCE IN THE HOMEĀ 

One clear reason why the calming neutral colours continue toĀ infiltrateĀ theĀ interior design trends of 2022 is because we continue to strive for balance and harmony in the home. We want and need the home to be a place of recovery, a place where we feel safe and can heal after a troubled time. The earthy colour palette, natural materials and a simple design language give us a decor that is caring and minimalist. Spa details in the bathroom, mirrors and plenty of woods set theĀ toneĀ for a balanced home in 2022 that continues to flirt with Japandi.
