This is a collaborative post: The past few years have seen more and more people working from home than ever before. And when working from home, it is vital to surround yourself with an environment that is comfortable and relaxing.
As such, recent home furniture trends have centred around this idea of creating spaces that go a long way into rejuvenating the mind during the workday. A lot can be said about how your environments impact your general health and mental well-being.
In this article, we will take a look at some of the hottest trends springing up in 2022 and break down some interior design ideas for you to consider – no matter if you work from home or not.
A Pinstripe Sofa
A classic piece of living room furniture and one that people neglect to update far too often. An old, worn down leather couch isn’t exactly an eye-catching feature for any room or home. And if you have a pet, then they’ve more than likely had their way with it with muddy paws or razor-sharp claws.
Invest in a stunning centrepiece for your main room that will stand the test of time, look spectacular, and keep you comfy for hours on end.
We particularly like the range that Hampton & McMurray have to offer, such as their 2-seater and 3-seater sofa collections with pinstripe patterns. So, whether you are after something exquisite, or something minimalist, they will have a sofa to match your style.
Unique Display Shelving
Displays are making a comeback. They have always been there in the backdrop of most living spaces, but with more eyes on our living rooms with zoom meetings, people are beginning to dust them off and fill them up.
And this can go a long way into overhauling a room aesthetically to create a space that is visually appealing.
There are so many kinds of display cabinets and shelving on the market nowadays that it can be hard to choose what one is right for you.
But from Tom Schneider DNA shelves to Nathan Shades’ combination units, you are bound to find a stylish display unit that’ll serve your needs and aesthetic vision.
Get A Blast From The Past
With global supply chains dwindling due to the pandemic and unforeseen geopolitical events, vintage furniture is becoming more popular. But just because this had happened out of necessity doesn’t mean it’s not worthy of a mention here. This is one trend that is as beneficial as it is beautiful.
Vintage furniture can be very stylish and add a flair of charm into any room they fill. For instance, victorian mirrors can provide a stylish way of enhancing the aesthetics of a bedroom, should you choose to place it there. Similarly, a priceless antique bench can provide a certain level of gravitas hitherto unseen in a household before. Additionally, there are environmental benefits of choosing vintage and re-using pre-loved furniture.
But it’s more than just a hipster fad. Getting vintage furniture can help you forge a distinctive contemporary and traditional blend for your home. Or you can go all the way and re-design your home with vintage furnishings in mind.
Take a gander down to your local vintage shop and see what kind of furnishings they have up for grabs. You’d be surprised at not only the quality but the affordability too!
Don’t Forget To Travel
Using artwork and photography, of course. While it may not be possible to go to Madagascar every other week, it is absolutely possible to create your own hanging, customised photo gallery in your home of Madagascar.
The best bit is that it can be anywhere you want. New York? Tokyo? Why not get some Nepalese mountain ranges on your wall?
Shop around and talk with different photographers to see about getting some of their prints to create a gallery wall in your home. Or alternatively, you can speak to an artist and commission some work from them.
Escapist artwork and photography are on an upward trend, and with the pandemic, it is easy to understand why.
Implement Some Curves
By far, the biggest upcoming trend of 2022 is curved furniture. It seems to be the crème de la crème of modern interior design, and folks are using an abundance of curved furniture to spruce up their living spaces.
We are talking about everything from curved coffee tables to chairs that lack squares and everything in between!
What is most interesting about this trend is that curved furniture can work very well with many of the different modern interior design palettes out there. So, no matter what kind of contemporary home aesthetic you are going for, curved furniture is guaranteed to squeeze in nicely somewhere.
Our Parting Advice On Interior Design Trends
It is vital that when considering the latest trends, you take into account your own tastes. Don’t just get something because it’s trendy; you want to make a space feel like yours.
Also, be cautious of mixing different aesthetics and styles. A little bit of juxtaposition is good, but too much of a good thing never is.
