With the global health crisis forcing people indoors, home environments have taken on more significance. Studies show that the environment that we live in significantly affects not only our mood but also our general health. The visual appeal of a peaceful and calm home setting can have a greater effect on our happiness and well-being than one that is cluttered or chaotic.
The current trends in home decor lean toward minimalist furniture, earthy tones, and biophilic elements, which promote a feeling of peace and calm.
So, one does not have to renovate their entire setting to spruce up their space. A few minimal changes can go a long way.
Check out some of this year’s trends for a quick and easy home upgrade:
- Earthy tones
The minimalist design won’t be confined to neutral pastel shades as it was in the past couple of years. Shades of brown, camel and caramels are predicted to take the throne this year. Nature-inspired hues and monochromatic designs are this year’s hottest trends.
Simple furnishings such as a rug or curtain with earthy tones can set the tone for a room. Make sure you choose minimal prints or solid colours so you can add accents and accessories. An overabundance of print and tinkers can make a space look cluttered.
- Natural objects and textures
As a result of the loss of outdoor connectivity, current indoor designs aim to build an environment that is both biophilic and sustainable. Indoor plants may not be the perfect substitute for the great outdoors, but they still provide quite a few benefits other than enhancing your home’s curb appeal. Indoor plants are also known to positively influence your home’s air quality.
There is also a resurgence of textured decor accents, textures like clay, wood, marble stoneware and terracotta. These textures tie in all the elements in your home, and make it look calm and peaceful and at one with nature.
- Curved furniture
It’s safe to say that everybody is tired of getting attacked by the sharp edges of their furniture. Curved and sculpted furniture is a welcome new trend, that gives your home a softer and modern appeal. Furniture in 2022 is likely to become more shaped, luxurious, soft, and closer to the ground.
Opt for seats with softer edges and textured cushions to give your living space a modern twist. Your toes will be grateful as well.
Find accents that tie in all the major details of your home. Be mindful of the textures, colour and sustainability of your pieces. The goal is to create a dynamic look that is easy on the eyes and does not clutter your space in any manner.
