Every New Year we say good bye to some home decor trends, making room for new trendy ones that have a much more modern look, full of visual benefits. Let’s check out the Top 5 Trends that will be out in 2022 and what to try instead of them:
1. Apartments that look like showrooms
If there is anything that design has taught us in the past year is how important personality is in a space. Adding personality to a space and styling it with things that you love and define your personality is essential.
That’s why an apartment without soul that look like any other and that tends to look like a showroom apartment from a new building will be OUT in 2022.
So, choose creative furniture you are smitten with, design pieces like a sophisticated chair really add flair to a space. Moreover, pick a color that will pop out through out your whole home. Also choose trendy deco elements that define your personality and style them everywhere in your dreamy home and even mix them with a lot of plants.

2. Spaces with stressful colors
Since our homes should now be a relaxing space where we enjoy spending time and where we want to relax more and more, colors play a very important role in out mental well being. Stressful, dark and super strong colors should not be found on walls and should be found only on pieces of furniture or pops of color.
Colors inspired by earth, nature, and water like brown, green and blue are Zen like shades that are more than welcomed in a home, especially in the home office corner, the bedroom space or bathroom. The neutrals are always a better option than the busy shades, making a spaces super calm and peaceful.

3. Upper cabinets
Since open shelves, made especially out of wood, are becoming more and more popular, it’s time to say goodbye to upper cabinets that were a must-have until now. The main benefits of the new shelves will be: the illusion of more space and great styling full of personal touches. You will get to show off your dreamiest and most precious mugs, plates, glasses and style them with artsy objects.

4. The vintage farmhouse looks
Since the farmhouse style was a super popular one so many years ago and it made a huge comeback especially this year it’s time to say goodbye to the let’s call it “vintage” farmhouse style that has outdated elements and welcome the new more modern and artsy farmhouse style that will rule 2022.
The old farmhouse style has muted furniture that sometimes lacks personality, a lot of written sayings that don’t mean anything and sometimes a vintage twist that can sometimes look outdated.
Now it’s time to make this style more attractive with a mix of neutrals and artsy shades and a home decor and art mix. Choose retro paintings, copper details, beautiful flowers, fresh fruits and vegetables, glossy touches and dreamy design pieces made out of wood.

5. An all mid-century room
If you make a room full of mid century furniture and deco elements, then you will live in a museum or a time capsule rather than a dreamy home. Mid century furniture is still trending and can look elegant in many spaces, but you have to mix it with modern colors, furniture, prints and deco elements to really make it shine.
For example, pair a mid century sofa with modern art or a cool chair with a modern side table and a chic plant and you will have a creative space you will look really cool.
