“From a practical level, all-white homes are harder to maintain and stress-inducing since they don’t hide anything. Principal Designer/Owner of Emma Beryl, Emma Kemper tells me, “After spending so much time at home over the past couple of years, people want to create vibrant, interesting, inspiring spaces to live in.”Īnother problem with white interiors is that they’re challenging to clean, especially white sofas. It’s not that the all-white look is just a fad that's had its day, it’s also that this look simply isn’t the most interesting choice. Also, bring on some color and pattern, please.” I'd love to see more spaces reflecting the quirks and passions of their owners in 2022 and beyond. These big-box spaces feel cold and impersonal. Interior designer Ariel Okin sees this from a similar perspective, “I am not big on trends, but I hope that we start to move away from spaces that are entirely gray and white and devoid of any personality. We can expect details like pleats, scallops, and tailoring. “People are reevaluating how they furnish, decorate, and layer artwork in their homes. Lemieux tells me that this aesthetic will be replaced with lots of fine details. We are now thinking about our spaces from a 360 perspective- how it makes us feel, how it smells and sounds, functions and looks.” With people spending more time inside their homes, they are craving color, layers, textures, patinas, and material mixes. The blank canvas, all off-white trend is becoming too dull and frankly not very livable. Christiane Lemieux, Owner of Lemieux Et Cie says, “We will see monochromatic, all neutral interiors going away in 2022. Many of the top interior designers are thrilled about this trend finally going away. The days of monochromatic looks such as white sofas, white throws, white walls, and the ever-present all-white kitchen are finally numbered.

As someone who loves using color and pattern to express themselves, I’m happy to see this become a 2022 trend.” Instead, we’re seeing something more exciting takeover: Avant-basic which is reminiscent of fashion of the 1960s and 70s, where bold color and pattern reigned supreme. “After being incredibly popular, mid century modern decor seems to be making an exit as it is becoming a bit oversaturated. HomeGoods Style Expert and interior designer Beth Diana Smith also tells me that mid century modern has reached its peak.
