1. The return of the 70s

As in the world of fashion, decorating is also an eternal restart by adding its modern touch acquired over time. Find in 2022 the style of the 70s in your living room: vibrant colors of the hippie years, curves and clean lines, we leave the contemporary apartments that favor light colors such as white, beige and cream. Let's appeal to the psychedelic peachy color combinations, emblematic of the 70s. The colors overlap, without there being any real coherence between them. Are you afraid of stinging your eyes? Just call yourself vintage.

2. The lightness of openwork furniture

Forget about solid furniture, for this new year opt for openwork furniture that rhymes with lightness. Openwork white metal coffee table, backless chairs, openwork wooden chest of drawers, woven coconut fiber rug, find the piece that will define a nature decorating style in your home. Both graphic and light, the openwork furniture finds its place in all rooms of the house and brings a natural and organic atmosphere. In this category, we find the openwork cabinets, the favorites of this trend. They no longer hide the objects they contain but highlight them.

3. The new white: grège

This year, creams and whites are invading your home again with a new guest: grège. As its name suggests the grège is a beige tending to gray, it is the true color of silk in its raw state. The color brings a touch of modernity with a cozy and refined effect. Soft and natural, a bit mineral, this shade can be considered the new white in an interior. Rimming with discretion, it nevertheless enjoys a warm effect while surfing on the chilling codes of minimalism. Greige goes well in all interiors, both rustic and contemporary. While some may not appreciate it at the walls, it can easily be found in many decorative accessories and even furniture.

4. Play with textures

When we discovered the possibility of cladding, we grew tired of blank walls. With this breadth of possibility in the matter, it is impossible for walls not to play a major role in decoration. The material is visible and pleasant to the touch. In addition to giving value to your walls, some coatings have many advantages: light reflection, remarkable soundproofing, overlapping colors, enlargement of the room with surprising visual effects ... The trend extends for all needs and tastes. The relief is displayed on doors, partitions, walls that are now modeled with spectacular and precious coverings. Make way for textured upholstery!

5. Feeling good at home

Embroidered pillows, linen bed linens, faux fur blankets and wool plaids, vary and add touches of softness to beautify your home and create a cozy world. Linen is making a comeback and is booming. You can find it everywhere and select it with care. Linen brings texture and a pleasant touch to the back of your sofa. Depending on your desire, it can bring both warmth and cocooning through warm colors such as brown, terracotta or orange but also punch to your room with brighter colors: emerald green, duck blue, mustard yellow, burgundy...

6. A new form of minimalism

Minimalism will still be present in 2022 by showcasing rare, sleek pieces with the look of works of art. A simple armchair will become a favored piece in your home when done correctly. Organic shapes are still in vogue to bring lightness, naturalness and softness in opposition to strict lines that look fake and artificial. The trend is towards curves that soften and fluidize the space. Pebble or tube shaped armchairs, rounded tables, round mirrors and organic lighting fixtures are invading the decor.

7. Mineral and natural materials

Depending on the finishes of your room, plant and mineral materials will always add value to your room. Dare plant fibers, stones, rattan but also more raw materials like wood, steel and concrete. Travertine takes the place of marble with its soft sandy shades. The irregularities of its lines allow for unique models with a story to tell. The new trends show a real willingness to move towards a more responsible mode of consumption. This illustrates the desire to return to the raw and natural. More and more products are made from recycled materials.

8. 2022, the best year for second-hand?

The ecological impacts of overconsumption are forcing us to rethink our consumption habits and our relationship to decoration. No more with the unreasonable consumption of furniture. As social networks, flea markets, antique shops and garage sales prove it, the pieces found on the market are constantly gaining new followers. A first gesture for a planet that can also characterize the decoration with a vintage and unique piece. Minted objects contribute precisely to the personalization of our homes.

Don't buy fake old anymore and succumb to the charm of real vintage pieces, unique and exceptional, your interior will not look like any other.
