1stDibs interior designer survey shows green remains in trend

20 Dec 2021 CW Team

According to the findings of a poll of more than 750 interior designers done by marketplace 1stDibs, green will be prominent in 2022 — not just in terms of hue, but also in terms of biophilic, natural tendencies.

This year's study results, according to 1stDibs, indicate "interesting patterns" in how and where design businesses operate, which are most likely due to the epidemic. There has been a shift in the size and structure of companies, with more solo practitioners reporting, and owners/principals accounting for 77 percent of the sample, up from 41 percent three years before. According to the research, more interior designers are leaving corporations to establish their own businesses.

Many designers, according to Freund, have relocated to other regions of the nation. Designers in the Northeast completed the largest geographic portion of the poll in 2018, with 51 percent. This year, the West and Southeast account for 55 percent of the total footprint, with the majority concentrated in the West. Dark greens, such as emerald, and lighter colours, such as sage, will be popular in the next year, according to the designers who answered the 1stDibs poll. Warmer earth tones, such as burnt orange and tan, continue to be fashionable in interiors and are expected to remain so.

According to the survey, cobalt is another top-ranking hue, which is on the rise and ranks closely behind earth tones. Cobalt was the most popular blue this year, beating navy, which had the most drastic dip in interest, plummeting 43 percent.
