What are the newest home decor trends for 2021 and 2022? What are the trendy color combinations? Which are the most popular materials? What are the furnishings you should choose for your home? Let’s find out together!
Every year brings with it many innovations in the field of design and home furnishings: therefore 2021 is the result of new needs, new technological, social, and cultural orientations. It is also the result of the new studies that are continually made in the field of architecture and design.
Let’s find out together what news we can expect from 2021 and 2022.
Antique colors for modern furnishings
2021 brought with it a more mature form of furniture in conceptual and design terms, compared to previous years. The lines of the furniture show a complete detachment from the past, more conscious use of linear and clean shapes, typical of our time, but with a constant and mature reference to the quality of materials and colors of the past.
In 2022, furniture color trends are clean and nuanced shades that we often find around us and almost never have an energizing or irritating effect. These are mostly balanced nuances of neutral and muted colors, which look good in all styles.
Blue
Keep an eye on blue colors. It has always been one of the favorite colors for interiors, especially among interior designers, but in 2022 it will be enriched with different shades. For the next year, blue comes in all shades, from the sky to sapphire: a medium blue warmer than denim, but softer than navy blue. The blues of 2022 goes very well with marble, warm woods, and caramel colors. These are all colors that will not go out of style anytime soon because they are part of the most elegant and timeless interior palette you could wish for.

Green
Greens everywhere! Attention, we are not talking about just any green. Forest green and dark green are the favorite shades in 2021 along with sage green. Acid or light greens are apparently no longer in fashion.
Dark green gives a strong sense of refinement and elegance to furnishings, upholstery, and walls, and it is a color that goes very well with all woods, especially oak and walnut. These are material combinations that infuse calm and relaxation into spaces, emphasizing their elegance.
It is an amazing color and trend for 2022 décor!

Camel bronze
Camel bronze, rich gold, and a touch of apricot are warm colors are inspired by the world of food. Camel-colored bronze appears in the furnishings and accessories, combined with a deep green, a metallic gray, a Burgundian red, and black caviar. If, on the other hand, you want to remain in the classic realm, that is, in a more lasting sphere, I suggest you consider terracotta, rust, or caramel.
These shades are combined with light woods and whites, so they are more versatile if you have an already furnished home and you want to renovate something.

Materials, light and originality
The light remains very important, in fact, thanks to new technologies in terms of fixtures, costs are now increasingly reduced and the possibility of having a well-insulated window and at the same time ensuring brightness in the environment is increasingly achievable.
Obviously, fixtures are not enough to define the entire design movement of 2021. As you can see, the study of light has also led to a review of the parts of the ceiling that were always neglected in the past or in any case reduced to a few changes in height differences and added spotlights.
Today’s changes instead include the use of different materials such as laminated wood, wood with an antique effect, steel and concrete, exposed pipes and methodical and studied lighting management.
In 2022, the concept of green furniture will also become increasingly important, i.e. maximum attention will be paid to all aspects of the furniture. From the organic production method of the material used, the use of non-animal materials, the non-use of chemicals in the processing stages, and above all the quality of the natural and untreated fibers. All are aimed at doing good to the environment and to ourselves, so as to avoid allergies and other forms of skin irritation.
In addition to the materials, natural colors also take over, as there will be more and more furnishings in the pure colors of materials. The colors of wood and green will also dominate the house, partially because of the heavy use of plants. An excellent combination is that of the green of plants and gold or copper, as it is a combination that expresses attention to nature, originality, and value. You can see an example as shown in the photo below.

In the kitchen: island and much more
The new furnishings of 2022 are no longer made only on the basis of already confirmed and standardized styles. In 2022, furnishings, thanks also to the wide variety of solutions, are tailor-made and therefore the first step in furnishing is to study our habits and understand which spaces and furnishings we actually need.
The style of furniture that reigns in 2022 will see as protagonists the materials that recall elements of nature such as wood, marble, or metal. These elements can be combined with brighter and more lively colors, to give a more decisive character to your kitchen. Let’s not forget the smart elements such as home automation, for a super technological kitchen!
The peninsula or island is a space that can be used as a workbench for the kitchen, as a table for a quick snack, for breakfast, but also for lunch and dinner and can be an excellent piece of furniture to use to store everything we need in the kitchen, thanks to the numerous drawers and shelves available.
Those with a slightly more spacious kitchen are almost dutifully required to insert the island or peninsula and move towards an open space environment with the adjacent living room, valid for opening the view and thus making the perception of space wider.

Technology and color management
The new millennium, with the advent of technology and small mobile phones, has made us all smarter and quicker to find, but in particular, we have all gotten quite good at taking pictures and selfies.
Now, we are able to learn everything about lights, how to position everything in the correct way, and thanks to Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook, we are now also able to evaluate the color combinations and manage them perfectly in our photos.
An unconscious little help from technology that led to obsessive, precise, and perfect attention to colors and combinations will help you find out that you are a little designer!
Suspended fireplace
2022 is the year of maturity of certain products: the suspended fireplace, which over the years has proved to be convenient, for the recovery of spaces, and useful because it is directional and therefore can manage larger rooms and can be positioned in different ways in the home. It is not a mammoth structure and both visually and practically, it doesn’t require any real commitment of the spaces.
The new methods for storing wood at home, such as exposed wooden logs neatly ordered and stacked, are great to look at and comfortable to use.

Bathroom furnishings
The bathroom also wants its part! And the 2022 furniture trends propose this environment as an area completely dedicated to wellness and relaxation, like the SPA. A very popular style is the vintage one, combined with neutral and pastel colors, for a bathroom with a retro taste. However, there are also proposals of minimal and contemporary design with compact sanitary ware and washbasins, soft lighting, and natural materials.
It is always worth pursuing your dreams, especially when they concern the house and the spaces in which we live and work, and a great dream of many is to dare with color. Many are a little fed up with houses that are too gray or too beige or total white.
Color definitely enters homes, distort them, improve them and make them absolutely personal. Discover the perfect colors for your home décor as you please. The important thing is that the color always evokes emotion, avoiding being exaggerated or fake, because a well-dosed color will always be an element of charm in your home.

However, keep in mind that there should be some reserves on the abundant use of color, because, it is true that in many houses, it is a blessing, but it is also true that it tends to tire over time and could easily become out of date.
Conclusion –
- 2021 has amazing color combinations, and some of them are going to stick around until 2022, which is great if you furnished your house this year!
- Don’t be scared of adding colors into your space, every color brings a different feeling and sensation to the space, which makes it even better to play with, but REMEMBER, colors can be tiring after a while, so make sure you choose the right ones.
