We wanted to discuss several of the most popular trends that are punctuating interior design and lifestyle right now!
Neutral Interiors: Neutral interior design has exploded onto the scene, with designers crafting beautifully serene and balanced spaces that evoke a sense of natural neutrality. We have seen a shift towards warmer earthen hues that help create a sense of total comfort and adaptability – compared to recent years where cooler hues/all white spaces were very common.
One of the best ways to explore this is by beginning with Matte Black fixtures as they pair exceptionally well with the current neutral interior trend known as Japandi style: the black adding a pop of starkness that helps designs stand out.
High Tech, Functional Living: It’s no surprise that the recent shift in working culture has changed people’s lifestyles. With work from home arrangements being common, people have had to create new setups in their homes to make working as comfortable and hassle-free as possible. From new office spaces decked out with PC tech, to small studios with recording equipment: it’s all about improving one’s quality of life through the use of smart technology that easily blends into the space! It’s about finding a multipurpose use for the spaces within your home that already existed.
Natural Surroundings: What may seem counterintuitive to the recent trends in modern living is the incorporation of natural elements! When people think of modern living they often think of lifeless, cold, and synthetic lifestyles – in reality, elements of nature are increasingly important as they help achieve a balance between urban and natural. One way of exploring this is using wood as an aesthetic and tactile material. From sleek wooden wall covers to wood paneling in interiors and exteriors that invoke a sense of modern structure akin to Parametricism. Another obvious and popular way to bring nature inside is to create an indoor jungle!
All in all, the most popular trends that are shaping modern living in 2022 are all focused on balance: reflected in neutral interiors, multifunctional spaces and tech, and natural elements.
