What will be the must for the coming months? First of all, it is expected that there will still be many renovations, both for small interventions and for major renovations. So let’s look together at the furnishing trends in floors, walls, and interior decoration.
Fluid spaces are still in vogue, favoring light and nature. Design trends bring different colors and materials, chosen for walls and floors and mixed with creativity and inspiration. Already 2021 had underlined the release from preconceived styles, preferring styles that mix and give life to new suggestions; in fact, this road will continue for the near future and 2022.
Therefore maximum interpretative freedom, even if 2022 has traced some lines; will be the year of basic design, perhaps enlivened by an unexpected detail: a carpeted alcove with a particular wallpaper, a mobile recovered at a flea market and painted a deep color, graphics cards, and very decorative wallpaper. On the walls, the charm of the wallpaper leaves the space to invent the interior designer and make it reflect style and dreams. Underfoot, on the other hand, 2022 mainly demands health-giving floors.
The taste of the decor on the walls is back in fashion, to be combined with functional floors, and then the 50s and 60s lines come back to be placed with great attention, but that seems to be placed almost by chance. Therefore, the great return of the sixties probably underlines the desire to rediscover and relive those non-conformist years, made of changes and great ideals, years in which well-being and economic growth led to an important ferment and vitality.

STYLES
As we said, the 2022 style does not have a style; at least, it is not armored. We can speak more correctly of guidelines, which this year is essentially three:
- Geometric
- Green
- Intellectual vintage
GEOMETRIC style in wall decorations and furnishing components. Circles, hexagons, intersecting lines, the geometric is the master in new trends and is expressed both in the classic and timeless black and white and with color. It is not overpowering; the structures are light and integrate with the rest of the furniture. The minimal, retro-style geometry bursts forth, declined in the form of patterns, even for wallpapers, small tables, lamps, and furnishing objects. The geometric wallpaper is the main protagonist of the walls.
GREEN style in materials and furnishing details. The new design is green in every form. Wide use of floors that offer respect for the environment, such as awareness of a greater ecological lifestyle, use of non-polluting products, greater attention to the release of substances in the air we breathe. Eco-sustainability has now also entered into furnishings through the choice of eco-friendly materials and products. Even the recovery follows this philosophy, so that in the restructuring, there are far fewer demolitions, the tendency is to “recover.” For example, recover the old ceramic tiles to make the tabletop or insert them as a decorative element.

Lucky all those who have kept the old tiles, which become a classy element.
The imperative is “to cover the old floors, “which is impossible to recover with PVC, laminate, or wood floating floors. Cover the old bathroom tiles with enamel-coated glass fiber. They are restoring the walls with insulating materials such as the depron and applying cheerful, colored, structured wallpapers to move the environment, with large leaf decorations, flowers, trees, and motifs inspired by nature. Nature enters the interior even in plants, scattered in the rooms, and maintained the proper humidity inside. All those who love flowers will benefit, as they will transform environments into real indoor gardens, and of course, the flowers will also be on the walls with wallpapers and upholstery. Then fill the house with greenery, plants, and life.
The INTELLECTUAL VINTAGE Style is the third big must. The focus will be on the refined and convivial retro furniture, which leaves room for the pleasure of browsing the many existing markets to find unique pieces to match and personalize as you see fit. Therefore, the new interior design is full of fun in recovering the grandmother’s old furniture or the object found in flea markets or in modern art shops and which have a story to tell. Dafter the shabby style boom (by now outdated), the liberty style enters and the classic with a Provencal chic flavor, always with the natural colors of wood (especially oak), to be combined with light furnishings. However, there is no shortage of vintage 50s and 60s contrasts between dark woods and colorful furniture.
COLORS AND MATERIALS
In floors, wood is the master; it is true that ceramic wood imitations, rolled in 8 mm thickness. or in 12 mm. or in vinyl parquet format, called LV T. The colors are predominantly pasty, light, with natural, oak, linen, hemp, cotton, soothing and bright colors. Marble is reconfirmed as valuable material, on tops, in bathrooms, with sober and straightforward lines. The red and purple colors were preferred for the furnishings 2018, chairs, small accessories, walls associated with light matte brass and copper, in combinations refined and discreet. The green is the color of 2022, which colonizes the world of designer fashion and furnishings, with small, expertly measured bursts of color.
