Interior design: what's new and trending in 2022?

2022 is the year of revival in terms of interior design. 70s trends are reinventing themselves and taking over everywhere, in the living room, bedroom, or even the kitchen.

2022 also allows you to let your inspirations run wild by mixing neutral and vibrant decorations for a house with a varied but beautiful look. The neo-rustic trend is also making a comeback to charm you this year. Discover your top 8 new additions to embrace in 2022.

1-   The rustic interior look: we want more and more!

A rustic interior is punctuated by solid wood furniture, especially the table, sideboard, and other "useful" furniture in the house. However, this type of decoration is not random, as you must avoid falling into an overly old-fashioned spirit. Rustic decoration must be charming, so a few criteria must be respected to achieve it.

It is important to highlight the materials, especially solid wood, the central element. For the decoration to be successful, you must sort the furniture to be used for each room. Solid wood furniture must be sorted. Lovers of recycled items will find their happiness. Keep only a few key pieces so that the decoration remains chic and functional.

A solid wood coffee table, for example, can be enough to give the living room a rustic charm. In the bedroom, you can install a wardrobe and you're done. In the dining room, a rustic table creates a family atmosphere and adopts a mountain decoration synonymous with unfailing conviviality. Rustic decoration should not be too cluttered. So avoid filling the room with too much solid wood furniture.

2-   Seventies decoration, how to succeed?

70s decoration has not gone out of style! On the contrary, it can make your interior a real design cocoon, provided you also respect certain rules. This year 2022, you must know how to combine the colors of this era without falling into "too much".

Be sure to combine vibrant hues, especially blue and orange, which characterize this style. Round off the corners of your furniture, choose a round plastic coffee table, but chic, install a seventies velvet sofa with brightly colored cushions. White is also an ideal color that brings out your 70s decoration.

Moreover, clear the space! Don't clutter your living room or lounge with furniture you may not use. A sofa, a few round wooden stools, an oval coffee table, and a few lights are enough to evoke the seventies decoration and to charm your guests whom you will welcome in a friendly atmosphere and in comfort. Camel colors also make their show in your chic home. For example, opt for an extendable sofa cover, to give your living room character in this warm color.

3-   The 90s look: for a well-decorated home in 2022

90s themed interior decoration is vibrant and colorful. Known for brightening up party rooms and providing a relaxed atmosphere to the room, this type of decoration can also make your living room a unique room, provided you use it well.

The 90s interior look is probably one of the most original today. We do not hesitate to adopt a fluorescent color palette, vibrant lights and retro neon lights. But how not to fall into ridicule? You have to adopt the colors in touches, the total look being forbidden, because it is too flashy. A large pink rug in the middle of the living room, walls decorated with vintage paintings and a coffee table found in a flea market can be enough to set the tone for a friendly 90s decoration without overdoing it in your home.

This type of decoration is neither minimalist nor Nordic, it is flashy and far from minimalist. This "pop" effect can also decorate the living room, as it can also be found in the bedroom or even the kitchen. The sofa, for example, can be the centerpiece of the living room. The greatest lovers of this trend do not hesitate to dress this central piece of furniture with a sofa cover to extend its life and protect it from splashes and accidental stains.

4-   Mediterranean decoration, to make you travel

Colors warm up in a Mediterranean-decorated interior. The main advantage of this style is that you don't turn your whole house upside down and you don't need to invest a lot. White, green and blue combine perfectly with brown, which evokes the sweet life of the Mediterranean region.

You bring freshness to your interior and recall the sea, the sun, and the green of the olives without leaving your home. Brown is a warm color that will soften your entire decoration. Also, opt for earthy, beige, or wood shades to change a little from classic brown. Patterns and textures also play a big part in the success of a Mediterranean-style decoration.

Patinated wood will characterize your furniture. The household linen will be white and will punctuate your sofa, chairs and linen curtains. Also opt for some decorative items such as terracotta vases to bring an authentic touch to your Mediterranean interior. For storage, do not hesitate to choose rattan baskets, for example, or artisanal crockery to complete the original side of your personalized decoration.

5-   Industrial decoration, for a stylish interior

Industrial decoration is certainly old, but it hasn't aged a bit. It even returns to the most prominent houses and apartments in 2022 and is no longer reserved for American lofts, contrary to popular belief. Across the Atlantic, industrial decoration was very fashionable from the 1920s and was imported into Europe shortly after.

It borrows the somewhat "disoriented" style of New York factories, where production was done on an assembly line using machines that man was beginning to master well. A little left in disuse a few years later, the industrial style returned to homes in the 1980s, with some renewals dictated by the most renowned interior designers. At that time, individuals reinvested large spaces to cultivate the charm of the industrial style. They then kept exposed walls, plumbing, metal furniture, etc.

Today, the industrial style is increasingly gaining our homes and apartments in France to give an impression of uncluttered and expanded space. The main concept of this decoration is to optimize the brightness of the space and to play on the contrasts between modernity and vintage with the installation of metal lighting fixtures, etc.

6-   Scandinavian decoration, the clean Nordic style invites itself into your home in 2022

The Nordic air blows through your interior in 2022. The Nordic style sets the tone for a clean, yet welcoming decoration. We play a lot with pastel shades and soft materials to give a new breath to almost every room in your home. Scandinavian decoration can indeed be integrated into your living room, your bedroom, but also into your kitchen, especially if you want to give the impression of a larger space.

For a successful Scandinavian decoration, also focus on light. On a white, soft pink or pastel wall, you can install minimalist shelves, decorative paintings or a large mirror. Wood in touches helps to perfect the Scandinavian style. The coffee table in the living room, the headboard in the bedroom, a Nordic style chair covered with a Scandinavian chair cover and a wooden worktop will bring a touch of freshness to your home.

The furniture should be simple and functional. They should not take up much space, but should be sufficiently spaced to accommodate your everyday objects. Stackable stools, sofas and armchairs with rounded lines, or compass coffee tables are perfect, combining design and space saving. Other elements of nature also complement your Scandinavian decoration in addition to the wood that makes up your furniture in touches. Green plants or freshly cut flowers integrate very easily into this style of decoration.

7-   Mineral decoration: warmth, conviviality and elegance galore

The elegance of mineral decoration is the main motivation for adopting this rare, and perhaps little-known, style. This style sublimates your interior, despite its somewhat raw appearance, but it is increasingly attracting designers and owners of chic homes. Mineral decoration can be adopted in touches, through small decorative objects such as vases, candle holders, or tableware. It can also adorn your entire interior to offer an exceptional touch to your living room or even your walls. The principle of mineral decoration is very simple: we adopt very contemporary furniture and refined decorative objects.

Metal side tables, for example, can be enough to give a very contemporary touch to a mineral-style interior. Scandinavian-inspired vases can simply be placed in a corner of the living room to give a new lease of life to your space. They can hold your plants and some delicate flowers. Asymmetrical tableware also shows your penchant for mineral decoration in your home. Surprise your guests with these accessories that can make a difference.

8-   An organic design interior: how to adopt it?

The organic style calls for an architecture combining modernity and minimalism. This type of decoration is back in the spotlight at a time when the "nature" trend is almost on everyone's lips. Organic decoration favors the synergy between man and the environment. Rounded shapes are therefore in the spotlight, as are decorative objects made of raw materials such as wood, coconut, etc.

The organic style is no less functional for all that. In addition to the soft curves of the furniture, there is its storage capacity, which must suit the residents. The organic style also combines very well with eco-design, and this is the very foundation of the work of architects specializing in this type of interior decoration. Natural materials are therefore obviously welcome. The same goes for pastel colors, floral and plant motifs.

Wicker is also an increasingly used material for this type of decoration for the design of chairs or storage accessories, among others. Organic design also involves green plants, the "nature" motif obliges! They are found everywhere, in the living room, in the dining room and even in a bathroom with a plant wall, which is very fashionable in the organic trend. The tones of the decoration must also be light and bright, and it is necessary to harmonize the shades while optimizing the space.

The organic decoration style also allows you to change the atmosphere according to your tastes and desires for change at the moment. Sometimes it is enough to add a decorative element to go from one atmosphere to another while remaining in conviviality and in this nature spirit par excellence. For example, it is possible to green a section of the wall of the house to further favor the "nature" theme. You are not obliged to do major work, you just need to place green plants on a support previously installed on the wall and designed according to the shapes and graphics you want. You can also simply cover part of your wall with wallpaper with a forest, plant or flower pattern. The colors and tone of the wallpaper must be chosen according to the general atmosphere of the entire room and the basic shades adopted.
