“The sensorial experience is dynamic and individually unique yet desirous on many levels,” he says. Roberto Ramos, CEO of the cultural forecasting agency The Ideatelier, says that tactility, composition, and sensory stimulation are influencing people’s choices for interior products. With that comes a zeal for adding fragrances to specific areas of the home-a move that allows users to “inhabit space with all of their senses.” A home office, for instance, may feature sage to promote mental sharpness, White continues, “while the bedroom will be scented with orange blossom to promote calm and sleep, and the living room with something cozy and festive like the fragrance of a crackling fire.” “Scent has taken center stage during the pandemic,” White says. All of our experts agree that consumers are paying much more attention to the sensory experiences of their homes. One thing’s clear about the future of interiors: They need to feel as good as they look. Increasingly, clients are asking for interiors that reflect “the context of their home’s location or architecture,” Arnold adds, a trend that has continued to support the industry’s overall focus on customized and personal spaces. Neuroaesthetics, an innovative area of scientific study, has found a proven correlation between mental health and beauty in both natural and designed spaces, and it’s infiltrated the design trends of 2022: Savvy designers are embracing the call to create rooms that feel connected to the outdoors in the color of walls, furniture, and accessories. Landscape palettesĬonsumers’ love affair with soothing greens, greys, and earth tones continues, but it’s not necessarily a simple case of aesthetic preferences. Our homes have become refuges and their interiors are all about feeling calm, seeking comfort, and loving colour. After having collectively endured more than two years of tumult, it seems we’re clinging to familiarity more than ever. Regardless of our want for individuality, several decorating trends have emerged thus far this year. This is leading to a highly personal and more nuanced approach to interiors.” As the line blurs between these two approaches, this has empowered consumers to find their own take on either. “A key example of this is minimalism and maximalism.
“Rather than specific trends declining, we are seeing the lines between different styles blurring,” says Gemma Riberti, head of interiors at WGSN. Much like recent evolutions in fashion, interiors are increasingly becoming less about what’s trendy and more about personal expression. Instead, we’re being more true to ourselves and what feels good. Much of what we’ve seen this year has riffed on the themes of 20, but, thankfully, it’s not because we’re resigned to the fact that every day feels much like the one before. As the leaves brown and cosy season arrives, many are looking inward-that is, to their nest, making it an excellent time to assess the top design trends of 2022.
