TOP 6 INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS FOR SINGAPOREAN HOMES TO BE EXPECTED IN 2022; STYLE, DÉCOR AND COLOR

2022 is here and you must be curious to know what are the interior design trends of this year. With two rather difficult years behind us of a pandemic, it’s essential to create a home that we’re comfortable with as most of us now spend a lot of time at home. And the home decor trends of 2022 reflect that sentiment.


To determine what styles, colors, and materials we can expect to see more of in the coming year, we have tapped a variety of interior design trends from some of famous Singaporean interior designers.


Biophilic Designs and Décor

Biophilic interior design is all about embracing the rules of biophilic architecture, with rooms benefitting from good natural daylight, natural color schemes, and of course, large quantities of house plants. According to reports, biophilic designs will be the top trend of 2022. The idea is that whichever room you are in, you can see or are surrounded by house plants. Moving beyond a few pots on the windowsill, plant parents are now experimenting with plant-covered walls and unique hanging installations.


This nature-inspired trend is rooted in our basic human makeup. As there is a great connection between nature and human beings, these connections are imprinted in our brains and we are subconsciously comforted by these colors, textures, and patterns.


Fusion of Vintage and Modern

Instead of purchasing all new furnishings, people are increasingly sprinkling in antiques and vintage pieces among more modern designs. Antiques and vintage-sourced decor and furniture is not only eco-friendly since you are repurposing items, but it allows there to be a juxtaposition between old and new in a space, which creates an interesting visual interest in your space. You would be surprised to know that according to reports, Americans spent more than $17 billion on secondhand furniture and other items for the home last year, and that number is only expected to grow in this year.


Opt for Warm Neutrals

Crisp whites, steely grays, browns, and other cool neutrals are long-time favorites that deliver a clean, contemporary look, but this year preferences are starting to shift in a warmer direction. There will be a resurgence of warmer color palettes and a subtle shift back to creams, beiges, and nudes. Expect to see these comforting neutrals, as well as richer, earthier shades including taupe, camel, and rust, applied to walls, upholstery, and other furniture to foster a cozy,

welcoming ambiance. Incorporate variations of tan or taupe with soft pink undertones to warm up a room and establish a happy vibe.


Shades of Green.

If the picks for 2022 color of the year are any indication, green is having a major moment right now. Famous Paint companies has named a shade of green as the top color trend for the coming year, and according to designers the lush hue is starting to edge out blue as the most popular color to decorate with. The use of green shades is a comforting reminder of the outdoors and our need for a connection with nature. After the COVID-19 pandemic compelled us to move many social gatherings and activities outdoors, we’re bringing nature’s influence back indoors with us.


Layers of Textures

Of all the 2022 interior design trends, texture has got the main emphasis. Anything furry, nubby, or cozy will be popular in the coming year, Layers and textures are everywhere right now in fashion, and interior design is usually not far behind. Even walls are receiving textural treatments through techniques like lime-washing and paint products that mimic plaster finishes. To achieve a cozy, layered look through furniture and accessories, look for a variety of materials such as natural stone, leather, wood, and metal, as well as highly textured fabrics like bouclé.
