The New Year is always a good time to evaluate your home and decide how it can be improved.
If, after doing this, you come to the conclusion that changes need to be made, it’s useful to know about current home trends.
Trends are evolving all the time, but, right now, there’s a strong indication of what the most popular themes and colours of 2022 will be, which would be great to incorporate into any home improvement project.
Multi-functional spaces
Could you be getting more out of your home? More than likely, yes!
Over the last couple of years, some people had no choice but to establish a home office space in a certain room, and this year it will all be about making rooms even more multifunctional.
To offer an example, as well as hosting a Peloton to let you get on your bike at home, your best guest room could also have a foldaway desk. As for your conservatory, that needs to be set up for both entertaining and any conference calls you have to get involved in during the daytime.
Grandmillennial style
We have been living with the pandemic for two years now and it’s been a difficult time, with us all craving a bit of comfort.
As a child, the most comfortable place for many people was their Grandparent’s house, which has been the inspiration behind the rise of the Grandmillennial style.
Thousands of millennials are looking to encapsulate the look and feel by adding things like vintage China, florals, fringed furniture, scalloped frames etc. to their interiors, resulting in a joyous atmosphere that you love being in.
Just try not to allow your house to get quite as cluttered.
White is gone
Rather than shy away from colour, people are going to really embrace it.
It was recently announced that Pantone’s Colour of the Year will be “Very Peri”, a periwinkle blue with rich violet undertones, so you can expect to see that present in many statement furniture pieces and colour schemes. The coldness of white just won’t offer the same level of visual appeal.
Nature lovers are also set to turn to earthy tones and colours, such as chocolate brown and terracotta, when investing in a new sofa or reimagining their current window treatments.
The brand-new ERG website showcases many products and colour options that can help you emulate the trends in your home. We also suggest having a look through our full suite of product brochures. FREE copies of them can be obtained here.
