Due to the pandemic, we are still at home a lot and the design of our home is more important than ever. We attach great importance to security, purity and sustainability without losing sight of the fun factor. This is apparent from the new trend report published today by online home furnishing retailer Flinders, market leader in the premium home &living segment.
In 2022 we long for softness and security. This is reflected, for example, in cuddly fabrics, rounded shapes and timeless pastel shades. It's as if the furniture literally embraces us. On the other hand, experimental designs, whimsical materials and dark colors are also reflected in this trend report where the love for nature predominates.
''The new, versatile 2022 trend report illustrates five color and living trends that are very different from each other and yet also have strong similarities. This way there is something for everyone'', says Willemijn van Riel, trend watcher at Flinders.
The Playful residential trend immediately catches the eye. Design with a wink plays the leading role and the eclectic mix of styles and the use of color blocking fit in seamlessly with this. The circular elements accentuate the playful character. These ingredients make every day a party.
Influences from the 1970s have made a comeback and are shaping today's interior. The French Riviera living trend is characterized by the retro vibes of the last century in a modern jacket. A mix of striking prints, warm sand colors and straightforward stripes give this trend a southern French atmosphere.
The love for nature is reflected in every product and predominates in the Rustic Elegance living trend. Imperfect materials, eccentric shapes and deep colors give this trend an industrial look. Behind every design there is an extraordinary story and that is due to the traditional, experimental and often sustainable working method that precedes it.
Cuddly fabrics, rounded shapes and soft elements give us a secure and above all comfortable feeling. It is actually as if the furniture pieces literally embrace us in the elegant Curvy Goddess living trend. How nice is that? The impressive textures, prints full of flowers and fluffy materials emphasize the feminine character of the trend.
Much of our life today takes place indoors. We like to bring nature indoors and this color trend Soft Green fits in perfectly with that. From modest to dynamic:the color green brings an interior to life and creates a soothing ambiance with a natural twist. Did you know that this color refers to peace, harmony and hope?
