1. Biophilic design
A way of increasing our connectivity to nature, biophilic design has grown in leaps and bounds to become one of the key ways we embrace the outside world within our internal environment. The use of more plants, more natural materials and a shift to design a space that seamlessly flows from outdoor to indoor spaces all forms part of the biophilic movement as we have embraced it with open arms. As we are constantly evolving our interior styles, this is one design aesthetic that is not going anywhere anytime soon.
2. Many shades of green
Listed by Sherwin Williams as colour of the year for 2022, Evergreen Fog most certainly set the pace for what was to come. The dusty green shade could be beautifully paired with natural materials or pushed in a more contemporary, sleek approach. However, besides this shade of green, the colour itself seemed to sprout across all furniture choices and home decor pieces alike. From jaded green to a cool mint, every shade was considered in homes to also allow for a more biophilic design as discussed above.
3. Curves and contures
From furniture design to decor accessories, curves were seen in every interior space possible in some way, shape or form. This trend has really blossomed over this past year with the cosy feels it has created, pushing the connection between us and our environment. The soft lines allowed us to feel safer and more in tune with our homes, carrying our personalities through as we spent more time indoors than out. Curves and contures will continue to appear in design, pairing well with contrasting shapes and design to create dynamic and interesting interiors.
4. The Japandi aesthetic
When Scandanavian form met Japanese function, a beautiful aesthetic called Japandi was formed. The design style brought two different aesthetics into one in a very harmonious way that we fell more in love with during the year. The calming aura this style exudes only increased its popularity with simple lines, decluttered spaces and clear pathways within the home. We definitely see this continuing to grow during the next few months as Japandi is not just a trend, it is a lifestyle.
5. Vintage treasures
Scouring the flea markets on an early Saturday morning has become somewhat of a staple over these past few months for many. Scooping up vintage finds to adorn your home has only been on the rise as 2022 raised the spotlight on becoming more sustainable across our home decor too. Not only are these pieces well-made, but they come with a little story too, making them a focal point for your home. We hope conscious purchases like these are still carried out through to 2023 to continue our movement into a more sustainable future.
