Top 6 Home Design Trends We’re Seeing In 2022
Many of this year’s biggest home design trends revolve around personal touches and statement-making designs. Cookie-cutter bathroom designs are out! Just because it’s trending doesn’t mean it can’t suit a client’s unique personal style as well.
2022 Home Design Trends
According to several home decor trends reports, consumers are on the lookout for well-crafted and distinct items and fixtures for their homes. In fact, searches for handmade furniture are now up more than 2,000% compared to 2021, based on a survey conducted by Etsy. This same search data reveals that bold elements, textures, and colors are now in the spotlight. Take a look at the top home decor trends that your clients are looking for this 2022:
Statement Mirrors
For our customers, mirrors are more than just a simple surface where they can check their reflections. It is now a preferred way to make a statement on blank surfaces, above fixtures, and so much more. Unexpected styles — such as those with elaborate frames, modern or retro-inspired designs, and irregular shapes — are also experiencing a popularity boost. Offering bathroom fixtures with different mirror styles offer a stylish accent that helps client spaces appear larger and brighter.
Contrasting Textures
Many customers are craving cozy, layered looks, and items that offer a tactile element are a great way to achieve this. Consumers are searching for a soft and comforting feel through products that feature fluted, carved, or tufted textures. These textures are now showing up in light fixtures, tableware, wall art, and more. For dynamic and visually appealing rooms, shoppers are encouraged to incorporate a good mix-and-match of contrasting textures.
Happy Accents
Turning homes into personal happy places has been a primary goal for many shoppers, and more homeowners are leaning into it by choosing nostalgic fixtures, bright color schemes, and playful decor. Pastel furniture, bright abstract art, and even retro items are rising in popularity. Customers are surrounding their homes with accessories, colors, furniture, and other items that put a smile on their faces — make sure to offer cozy yet contemporary options like the vanities found in our Wilmington Collection!
Color Gradients
Color gradients are back this year and gradual fades from one shade to another provide a softer alternative to big and bold patterns or solids. They also help to achieve a calming mood. Customers can participate in this trend by choosing gradient wallpaper or paint treatments to establish a watercolor-like effect, or go smaller by choosing furniture that offers subtle color-changing accent pieces.
Travel-related Decor
As the world continues to shift into a normal state of travel, the wanderlust or longing to travel is stronger than ever. It’s even making its way into home decor choices! Customers are redecorating to feature more exotic fixtures, decking out their spaces with handcrafted items, vintage knick-knacks, repurposed bags, and many more finds from across the globe to experience a taste of travel without having to step foot outside their house.
Unconventional Wall Art
More shoppers are now going beyond their comfort zones when it comes to their walls. They are now choosing practical items that also serve as art once they display them. Hanging bike wall mounts, propagation planters, hat hangers, and more are seeing increased interest as consumers are hoping to choose art that is a mix of function and beauty.
Aside from the design trends that we’re sure to see more of this 2022, we must not forget the classic and contemporary offerings when it comes to our popular bathroom vanities. Take a look at our Norwalk Collection for more inspiration!
