To actually get the most out of the new collections in 2022, start your search for wallpaper trends with a little insider info.
Wallpaper is a significant trend for 2022, and shoppers’ unquenchable thirst isn’t going away anytime soon.
Wallpaper options for every taste, from conventional flowers and trompe l’oeil to contemporary geometric and tropical patterns, animal themes, and architectural designs, are available.
WALLPAPER TRENDS 2022
New printing processes and textures are continually pushing the boundaries, and the availability of new substrates adds to the excitement.
‘The days of printing on paper are long gone. Almost any pattern may now be applied on corks, grasscloths, and silks. The use has also become bolder and braver. There are unlimited options if you have the courage,’ says David Harris, Design Director at Andrew Martin.
SCENIC WALL MURAL
When it comes to image walls, you don’t have to put your artistic abilities to the test. There are a plethora of wallpapers intended specifically for this purpose, featuring trompe l’oeil drawings that may instantly provide an additional depth even in small rooms.
A panoramic mural may not only take you to another area (both metaphorically and practically! ) but by selecting a nature-inspired design, the lines between indoors and out can be blurred.
Turn to themes of escapism, such as this tropical pictorial wallpaper that invokes memories of exotic places, for a soothing bedroom wallpaper pattern.
FULL-SCALE PATTERNS
Maximalism is a major interior design trend for 2021, and we anticipate that this bold appearance will be here to stay.
This living room decor idea, in direct contrast to the understated, displays the wild side of the design world. An eye-catching combination of leopard patterns, pleating, and patchwork, as well as stars, stripes, and metallic skins, illustrates that more may be more.
FACTOR IN AN ABUNDANCE OF FLORALS
Floral room design is hot for 2022 interiors and may be tailored to any style, whether antique, retro, or modern. These new season designs have raised the bar in terms of aesthetics and make it simple to include lovely flowers into your décor.
Begin by thinking about color. The palette you select will influence your options when it comes to floral arrangements and will serve as the foundation for tying your scheme together.
Consider the size of the flowers in the patterns when incorporating flowery prints into your house. Large pictures may make tiny spaces look even smaller, so choose daintier prints to enhance the feeling of space.
TAKE A BOLD APPROACH
Color trends have fallen in line, with neutrals shifting away from gray (dare we say it?) and toward warmer tones to herald the comeback of brown furniture.
Don’t be scared to experiment with different patterns and color schemes.
‘Combine traditional patterns like stripes and flowers with exotic patterns like ikats and Turkish Kilims.’ ‘To avoid making the area appear overly cluttered, choose patterns in complementary hues,’ suggests Martin Waller, Founder of Andrew Martin.
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH BOTANICALS
Sustainability and being ‘happier at home’ are at the top of our priority list for 2022, and it will only become worse as time goes on. A growing awareness of the finite nature of our natural resources has fueled a drive to repair, repurpose, and recycle.
Visible repairs are praised and promoted, as are long-lasting, natural, and woven fabrics. Bolder greens are also displacing midnight blue, introducing the biophilic trend of wellbeing through plants and greenery.
‘Any allusion to bringing the outdoors in will have an influence on wellness with the expanding plant trend,’ says Maryanne Cartwright, Design Manager at Graham & Brown.
GO FOR DRAMATIC GRAPHICS
This year has seen us all searching for stability and order in the midst of upheaval. A growing desire to impose systems of order and control in many aspects of life, from wellness trends to dating applications, has resulted in a surge in demand for streamlined, organized design.
Interiors that draw inspiration from fundamental geometric arrangements slightly raised relief, and monochromatic colors express the comfort found in pattern and regularity.
HARK BACK WITH ARCHIVAL DESIGNS
A chaotic atmosphere of political and social instability has resulted in a need for designs that express ideals of authenticity, humanism, and dependability.
As shown in the accent wall idea above, craftsmanship and legacy designs are honored, and recognizable natural themes are preferred. We are more inclined to spend on meaningful designs that have been thoughtfully made rather than mass-produced things.
It is not unusual for some elements of nostalgia to creep in during a moment of uncertainty, as we seek for the past while selecting our next wallpaper.
