Decor Trends 2022
Several new design and decor trends rose to the occasion at the end of 2021 that look like they will continue to make an appearance in 2022. The newest decor is young…er…fresh….er grandmotherish?! Yes, that’s right! Grandmillennial style made its debut…well…let’s say refreshed debut, in several home decor magazine and blogs this last winter. Another design move making headlines? Luxurious metals and cozy velvets. Statement pieces that add just a touch of elegance can elevate any room. Many people moving to work from home led to sophisticated office redesigns. Opening up closets, spare bedrooms or bare corners made home offices a much more permanent design choice.

2022 will be all about metallics and bold sofas. Small statement pieces can add to your home’s presence. Oversized clocks, ornate mirrors, and that touch of velvet can truly add to your room’s depth, making your home feel new again. Just that small touch with one element will bring your space to a whole new level.

Working from home went to a new level in 2020 and so did our home offices! People will continue to rework and renovate their home office spaces this year, transforming closets, guest rooms or other bare corners. Adding that touch of sophistication to a dedicated workspace, whether it be an elegant accent table in your living space that functions as a desk, placing a vintage secretary in a hallway that can be opened up, or adding brighter paint, new window treatments, or wallpaper to your home office can transform how you function from home.
