Warm Minimalism Will Make Waves In Interior Design Trends 2022

Minimalist interior design has ruled our hearts for years. And it will continue in 2022 as well. So, the mantra ‘less is more’ will still be relevant in home design trends this year. However, we will witness a whole new kind of minimalism this year. In 2022, a warmer version of the minimalistic style is ruling the new home design trends.

Now, you may be wondering what is warm minimalism! Well, it is a minimalistic design theme with warmer details. So, instead of a plain white colour palette that usually rules minimalistic interiors, we will see a lot of light yellows, cream and off-white tones in trending interior design styles. We will also see a lot of walnut and oak wood instead of grey wooden designs. Warm minimalism also brings in a lot of handwoven fabrics. These create a homelier vibe than the classic cool minimalistic appeal. 

Some of the features of Warm Minimalistic Design are:

  • Undertones of yellow, tan and creams are essential for this new trending house design
  • Multifunctional furnishings will rule this trending interior design style
  • Oak and walnut furniture pieces are integral for warm minimalism
  • Add handwoven rugs and throws to keep up the homely appeal of the design

Personalised Designs Are Leading Home Design Trends In 2022

While minimalistic interiors will undoubtedly be trending this year, we will also see a lot of personalised interior design trends in 2022. So you will see a lot of curated designs with mixed patterns, excessive collections and maximalist themes. From user-centric furniture pieces to lifestyle-centric layouts, 2022 will be all about you!

“When you go to design your home, think about enjoying that space for the next five-seven years. Thus it is essential that your home is about you. Make sure you love it, and it loves you back. That’s what makes a house a HOME. And at DesignCafe, we prioritise personalisation over anything else. We believe homes are an extension of their members. That’s why we design curated and personalised furnishings and layouts–which are the two main pillars of maximalist design,” says Tasneem Arsiwala, the Lead Design Alchemist at Design Cafe, Mumbai.

So embrace your personalised style to create an expressive space and be in line with the home design trends of 2022. You can mix and match design styles and even bend the rules to build a home as unique as you. 

Some of the features of Personalised Home Design Trends 2022 are:

  • Colour palettes that go with your sense of style
  • Decorations that don’t conform to a single design theme
  • Furnishings and storage that are personalised to your requirements

Bohemian Will Be Another Trending Interior Design Style

Another significant interior trend in 2022 will be Bohemian themes. Bohemian is a nonconformist interior style that celebrates freedom. It is a carefree design theme that doesn’t follow structure. Think carefree layers of pattern with relaxing textures and colour palettes. The core of the bohemian aesthetic is that it’s a personal and relaxed style of design.
