Interior Design Trends Report 2022

Any period of sobriety is generally followed by heady abandonmentAs a result, 2021 was not a year for trends. It was a year full of unpleasant truths. I advocated 2021 as the year for the interiors equivalent of stating your own truth, realising that the best homes are about the feeling they give you, not the goods they hold, the 'correct' colours, or 'hot' looks at the end of my last trends report.Its message was simple: what you are surrounded by has an impact on you. While many of us instinctively understand this, a Stanford University study shows that environmental factors are more significant than genetics in determining the strength of your immune system.As a result, sustainability is the obvious thread that connects everything vital for 2022 right now.The majority is finally realising that it is us, not the earth, that is in risk. We haven't seen anything yet on this planet. We are the ones who are on the verge of extinction. But it's not too late (yet) to make a difference.Today, the only issue worth asking any brand, supplier, or organisation is if they can make what they do responsibly, that is, without hurting our air, waterways, mammalian, or marine life. Because if you can't, you're not welcome here. And no one wants to be openly judged or cancelled on social media these days.However, when our eyes are opened to the obfuscation, purposeful spread of misinformation, lobbying against environmental legislation, and hypocrisy used to safeguard harmful corporate status quos, they will be. This includes everything from the production of washing-up liquid that is legally regarded chronically dangerous to aquatic life (see the label on the back of a bottle of Fairy Liquid) to the use of high acrylic content paint, which is a major cause of microplastic pollution.Waste that has been transformed into something beautiful will be critical to the development of a new, more sustainable economy. We will still want to dress up, purchase good things, and sip takeout coffee, but we must do so in a way that benefits others.Repair, recycling, and re-use will predominate even at the high end of the market, with an emphasis on the originality of the rebuilt product. There won't be any compromises in terms of style or quality. However, the desire to buy something brand new no longer has the same attractiveness as it once did. Instead, we want heritage, tales, and obvious provenance. Furthermore, today's environmentally conscious consumer wants to practically wear and sit on their environmental credentials on their arms and backs.In summary, technologically enhanced convenience drove many of the major trends of the last ten years. Regardless of the repercussions, we wanted everything to be done faster, smaller, and yesterday.Cover up, smooth out, fast fix solutions (from surface finishes to cladding via the feature wall) became the go-to (and damn the consequences) as life raced up to keep up. That's something we're currently paying for. Right now, we and every single brand have enormous opportunities to be game-changing trailblazers for the greater good. This may be the restoration era: one conscious choice at a time, restoring the world and people. Those choices determine our ability to survive, let alone prosper.
