5 top interior trends for 2022
From nature-inspired trends to fresh colour schemes, 2022 is shaping up to be an exciting year for interior design. Rebecca Snowden, Interior Style Advisor at Furniture And Choice (FurnitureChoice.co.uk) shares the top 5 trends and how to get the look at home.
1. Japandi

A hybrid of Scandinavian design and Japanese interiors, Japandi is an east-meets-west trend that combines relaxing, minimalist décor with a neutral palette and natural materials. “Japandi’s calming interior style encourages slow living,” Rebecca says. “With a huge shift in lifestyles, many of us have been looking for ways to lead a more balanced life.”
“One of the aspects of Japandi interiors is to reconnect with nature to boost our overall wellbeing. Channel this in the dining room with an oak dining table, linen tablecloth, earthen tableware and wooden cutlery. Touches of greenery complete the look.”
2. Feature walls and textured wallpaper

With a new year upon us, a lot of interior trends for 2022 are inspired by hope and optimism. One such trend is bold and colourful feature wall patterns.
“A geometric wall with a colour block effect perks up a child’s bedroom with a big dose of personality,” Rebecca says. “Keep the rest of the room simple with a fresh white wooden bed for a light and airy feel.”

If a geometric feature wall seems over the top, textured wallpaper is a toned-down option and brings just as much impact. “Choose textured wallpaper with a tactile effect as it mimics the look and feel of real materials and adds dimension to your room. For example, pick wallpaper with a wood effect to give your space an elegant look.”
3. Earthy clay tones

Calming and comforting earthy tones like terracotta have proven to be popular searches online as revealed by sites like Pinterest. “The term ‘terracotta walls’ has increased by 86 per cent in the UK over the past year,” Rebecca reports. “These reddish-brown and tan hues colours will be a top pick for autumn and winter trends and sets the scene for elegant layering.”
“In the bedroom, match a reddish clay backdrop with a grey velvet bed and cosy linen bedding for a calming (and grounding) feel. As a finishing touch, decorate with colourful flowers and chic ceramic accessories.
4. Bold Yellow

To kickstart the year 2022, expect to see bright and bold colour trends such as Farrow & Ball’s ‘Babouche No. 223’. “This cheerful and uplifting yellow hue gives any space a welcoming touch,” Rebecca says.
Use it as an accent colour to liven up a room. “Introduce a yellow staircase to give the living room an unexpected twist,” Rebecca says. “Choose a neutral base of white walls and a grey sofa to anchor the room and to highlight the burst of yellow. Complement the staircase through colourful artwork and cushions.”
5. Cottage core

Taking inspiration from idyllic pastoral fantasies, cottage core embraces country-style living and a whimsical aesthetic. “Cottage core is a trend that has quickly gained attention from social media and tapped into interiors and fashion,” Rebecca explains.
Adopt this style in the bedroom with the help of a muted palette and touches of foliage. “Layer a warm white or cream backdrop with green accents to create an English country cottage feel,” Rebecca says. “A white wooden bed instantly adds a rustic touch alongside accessories such as a rattan basket and pampas grass."

Smart home styling for a modern interior
With the ease of technology at our fingertips, modern home design now includes integration with smart devices and appliances.
Rebecca Snowden, Interior Style Advisor at Furniture And Choice (FurnitureChoice.co.uk) shares 3 ways to style sleek, tech-savvy spaces with a clean finish.
1. Design a comfy and intuitive bedroom

Begin with a palette of fresh whites, chic greys and chrome accents in the bedroom. Smart devices typically come in these colours, making integration easy with this calm and airy palette. “A light grey electronic alarm clock-cum-phone charging dock blends in nicely beside a grey bed, for instance. And smart light bulbs fit into most lighting designs while allowing you to easily change up the mood in the room,” explains Rebecca.
“If you have a wind down routine, take that into account too. For example, a TV bed sounds indulgent but can be quite practical for a modern lifestyle. Especially if you enjoy guided meditations before sleep or even just to cosy up with a feel-good series.”

Bring in warmth through soft furnishings like a fabric bed frame, cosy wool throws and curtain layers. “Automated curtains are a lovely smart feature for the bedroom so you can wake up with the gentle sunrise streaming in if that’s something you’d enjoy,” she adds.
Besides comfy materials, clear surfaces and minimal clutter promote a calming feel. “A chic white wardrobe with a full-length mirror instantly brightens a space. Match it with white gloss and chrome bedside drawers as stylish and cohesive storage solutions,” says Rebecca.
2. Style a savvy living room for effortless relaxation

Get a chic, sleek look in the living room by keeping to a palette of crisp white, black and chrome. The TV is usually the largest smart appliance on display, but there are models disguised to look like framed art when not in use. “Pair with a slim voice command soundbar in a matching finish, then group smaller gadgets like headphones and humidifiers with other pretty objects like candles and vases,” she advises. Arrange them in groups of threes for a pleasing, decorative effect.

Bring a modern feel with white leather sofas that feature raised chrome legs. “Besides reducing visual weight and making a space feel airy, their raised profile also allows a robot vacuum to zip underneath for easy cleaning,” says Rebecca. Complete this clean look with white cabinets and a white marble and chrome coffee table, then bring in softness with cushions, a rug and some fresh greenery.
3. Turn a kitchen into smart home central

Create a bright, streamlined kitchen-diner using a contemporary palette of fresh whites. Keep the design sleek and minimal with a white gloss and chrome dining set, matching countertops and handleless cabinets. “Decorate your all-white space with elegant pendant lights and contemporary art to maintain a modern feel,” Rebecca says.
Recently, the kitchen has evolved to take on additional functions like a home office or study space. “Since so much time is spent here - from multiple meals to working through the day - it makes sense for the kitchen to be the smart home control centre,” she explains. For most smart home brands, all that involves is placing the hub device on an easily-accessible countertop.

“Convenience and practicality are central to great smart home design. Whether it’s controlling your music or voice activating the robot vacuum while checking your emails, create a smart home that works for you,” says Rebecca.
“Make sure it functions best for your lifestyle. For example, if you enjoy starting the day with a cup of coffee, an automated coffee maker that begins brewing when you wake up would be a great addition.”
