With many of us still spending significant time at home post-pandemic, interior design has never been more crucial. Homeowners prioritize safety, purity, sustainability, and joy, according to Flinders' latest trend report. As the leading online retailer in premium home and living, Flinders highlights these evolving preferences.
In 2022, there's a yearning for softness and security, seen in plush fabrics, organic curves, and soothing pastel tones that feel like a warm embrace. Yet, the report also embraces bold experimentation with quirky materials, deep hues, and a profound connection to nature.
"Flinders' versatile 2022 trend report showcases five distinct color and living trends that differ widely yet share common threads—ensuring something for every taste," explains Willemijn van Riel, Flinders' trend watcher.
The Playful trend bursts with eye-catching energy. Whimsical designs, eclectic style mixes, and vibrant color blocking create a festive vibe, amplified by circular motifs that infuse everyday spaces with fun.
1970s influences resurface in modern form within the French Riviera trend. Retro charm shines through bold prints, warm sandy neutrals, and crisp stripes, evoking the effortless allure of southern France.
Nature's influence dominates Rustic Elegance, featuring raw materials, unconventional forms, and rich tones for an industrial edge. Each piece tells a story, crafted through time-honored, innovative, and often sustainable methods.
Velvety textiles, flowing shapes, and plush details deliver comfort and security in the Curvy Goddess trend—like furniture designed to hug you. Floral motifs, intricate textures, and feminine flair elevate its elegance.
As indoor living persists, Soft Green brings nature inside. This versatile hue—from subtle to vibrant—infuses spaces with calm, harmony, and hope, perfectly balancing tranquility and vitality.
