INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS

The Year of Self-Expression

This fall, designers are chomping at the bit to incorporate an influx of new ideas in the home—whether that is an eye-catching bathtub with a mid-century silhouette or a bold and brooding accent wall with brushed gold hardware. This year it’s all about taking comfortable risks and shifting from a “designed to sell” mindset to one that is more “designed to love.” Here are five home decor trends to embrace this fall.

RICH COLORS

Instead of an all-white color palette, designers are opting for bolder, more earthy motifs— and it’s easy to see why. Dark hues, such as Signature Hardware’s Color of the Year, Pacific Night, provide the perfect backdrop for metallic accents and add dimension to any space. WARM, NATURAL ACCENTS & FIXTURES

With bohemian decor being more popular than ever, teak, bamboo, and unfinished wood have become staples in homes everywhere. These more natural finishes offer a tinge of warmth without being overbearing or stale. Patterned wood, either on floors or doors, is another great option to achieve an inviting feel. Additionally, honey-toned furniture and lighting fixtures add a hint of mid-century modern appeal.

VINTAGE-INSPIRED, ECLECTIC DECOR

Creating a space that is entirely your own is one of the biggest trends of 2022. Instead of reaching for bland, themed novelties, try incorporating various vintage trinkets, art, and wall hangings that are bound together by era, color, or shape. This ensures a carefully curated space that teeters on maximalism without forgoing order. CURVED SILHOUETTES

Curved silhouettes encourage touch and direct visual flow in the home. Try to incorporate gentle, sloping shapes with sleek furniture or fixtures. Play with curved silhouettes in arches within doorways and accent walls, along with mirrors, lighting, and other decor pieces.

AN ABUNDANCE OF TEXTURE

Using multiple textures at once is another easy trend to incorporate into your home. Think rattan, fluted detailing, zellige tile, intricate fabrics, and baskets. All of these design choices add eye-catching intrigue while emphasizing a sense of variation, depth, and character.
