As recognized by CBW trend experts, the key living trends for spring and summer 2022—Fresh Start and Transparent Remedy—capture our collective desire for renewal and optimism amid ongoing social shifts.
After years impacted by the pandemic, we're ready to move forward. With climate concerns top of mind, sustainability, climate solutions, and decluttering define this trend. Interiors emphasize clean, organized spaces from living rooms to bedrooms. Fresh, practical, easy-to-clean materials dominate, with white as the base paired with natural tones. Vibrant accents like yellow and blue brighten the palette. As remote work persists, homes evolve into versatile hubs for work, exercise, and relaxation—think folding screens and multifunctional walls. Expect circular, recycled, recyclable materials such as leather, cotton, and cork.
This trend counters pandemic uncertainty with optimism, humor, and creativity. Interiors transform into luxurious, utopian spas. Colors draw from stunning sunsets: bold pastels with neon accents. Transparent accessories create a watery illusion, while rounded shapes promote serene relaxation. Playful touches, like blue-tinted artificial plants, add cheer.
