2022 is the year in which the currents that we have felt since the beginning of the pandemic leave their mark on interior design, and here we are referring to multifunctional spaces, the use of natural textures, colors that are reminiscent of the environment and those pieces that are both functional and aesthetic.
If you want to renovate your home in 2022 and take advantage of current trends, we have prepared a list of ideas and tips to help you throughout the renovation process.
1. Natural material is eco-friendly
In 2022 the need to be close to nature is also felt in interior design through colors and finishes and pieces of furniture in earthy colours. Use various tones and shades of deep and ocher, shades of green, white tones or even Very Peri, the color of the year 2022. You can focus on furniture and accessories made of wood or even natural stone.

Considering that we spend most of our time at home, the time has come to create restful and functional spaces with natural tones. Neutral colors are used, as natural as possible, and the flashy ones disappear to be used as color accents in small quantities.
Although wood is a representative element of nature, natural stone accents or large quantities can also be added marble in the design of bathrooms, kitchens or corridors. When you choose the type of marblemake sure you choose one in neutral shades.
Replace carpets and fabrics made of synthetic fibers and fabrics with models made of natural fibers. If you want you can use wool, cotton or jute carpets. For a fresh atmosphere that brings a corner of nature into your home, include some green plants.
2. Multifunctional spaces: office, gym and relaxation at home
It was the pandemic that opened our eyes to the importance of our home and that we should make sure it meets all our needs, including as a place to relax, work at home or even play sports.Opt for natura

Whether you are among those who have only been working from home for a period of time or you have been #workingfromhome since the start of the pandemic, you have felt the need for such a space and not just an office in a cramped space, but an entire area where you can work quietly and effectively for eight hours a day. The area we are talking about must be sufficiently spacious and equipped with furniture that facilitates work and provides a pleasant working environment.
3. Plants in the house are a must
Whether you choose to furnish your home with those natural shades we were talking about or simply have other choices, plants will fit in perfectly. Besides the fact that they will bring the fresh atmosphere you need into your home, they also have a calming effect that will relax you. Does it make sense to tell you that they also purify the air?
4. Minimalist design combined with furniture with rounded edges
Furniture with rounded edges originates in the 1960s and 1970s and can be complemented by a sofa with a rounded back, an armchair with edges like this one, or a coffee table without sharp edges. Even if minimalism will be decisive for 2022, furniture with rounded edges will bring the entire decor out of anonymity and give it a modern air.
The idea of using these types of furniture started from the idea of fluidity of space, to set up spaces in which we feel protected and safe.
5. Natural textile material
And the protagonist this year is velvet, which has the role of bringing a modern and welcoming touch to the setup. Ioana Tutunaru shows you in this interview for the #MEETTHECREATORS initiative how he used velvet in the interior design.
6. Olive green is reminiscent of nature
Although the color of the year 2022 is Very Peri, olive green is reminiscent of the outdoors and beautiful spring days. It is a luminous and calming shade reminiscent of nature, growth and revitalization. If Very Peri was chosen to define society’s changes and the expansion of the metaverse, olive green will make you feel much closer to nature.
7. Black is an accent not to be overlooked
The use of black contrasts in 2022 interior design trends is more due to the effect they create together with natural wood elements and other organic materials. You can use black accents for furniture, lighting, ornaments, doors, walls or kitchen appliances.
8. Trends in flooring: light shades
When choosing flooring material, the most common choice is wood, which when chosen in light shades will make the space appear much larger than it actually is. Furthermore, the light-toned floor reflects the light and makes the room seem much more airy and bright. If you don’t want to choose wood for the floor, natural stone it’s a handy solution, however you choose travertine, limestone or another type of stone to accompany you on a journey into nature.
Although it may seem like a difficult process, home furnishing is a creative and relaxing phase at the same time, especially if you take care of the entire process yourself. Before you begin, set aside a significant amount of your time to analyze which pieces you want to use and how to integrate them into the arrangement. Always consider the size of the room and its purpose before renovating it and focus on quality elements that you will be able to enjoy for longer. Don’t forget to put your budget on paper so you have clear documentation of the investment you are making and the budget allocated.
Remember that although trends change from year to year, it is important that you feel good about your decor and create a space where you feel at home.
