Decorating your home is an art form. You don’t have to be a professional designer to create beautiful spaces, but it helps if you keep up with design trends. The best way to do this is to read about the latest trends and see what other people are doing with their homes.
The wallpaper industry is constantly changing, so here are some of the most popular patterns for 2022:
All Natural Patterns are in.
Natural patterns—flora and fauna, rugs and fabrics, wallpaper, and paints—are more popular than ever. They’re calming, relaxing, and soothing.
If you’re looking for something timeless that will last through the ages, consider adding a few touches of nature to your home with these popular trends:
- Rugs & Textiles: Wall-to-wall carpeting is old news—it’s all about rugs now. Whether it’s an area rug or an accent piece, don’t be afraid to get creative when decorating with textiles. You’ll find no shortage of designs ranging from bold geometric shapes to subtle floral patterns which will fit perfectly into any space.
- Wallpaper: Gone are the days when wallpapers were just for kids’ rooms. Now, anyone who wants a little bit more character in their space can easily add wallpaper as part of their design scheme.
You can find natural patterns everywhere, from your local grocery store to the nearest Pinterest board to your favorite online shopping site.
Small Texture is Making a Comeback
Small textured walls are versatile and can be used in any room of your home, from the kitchen to the living room and even to bedrooms. You can achieve this trend in many ways: use a paint roller or sponge if you want a small textured wall for an accent wall or a focal point.
The great thing about small texture is that it’s versatile and easy to use, plus it adds interest without being overwhelming with color.
If you’re feeling bold, there are endless ways to incorporate texture into your design without having an entire room covered with concrete.
Floral Designs are Taking Over
Floral designs are feminine and elegant, making them one of the most appealing wallpaper trends for 2022. Floral prints add color to any room, texture, and a touch of nature—and they’re also great ways to make a small space feel larger.
More than Just Color for Your Home’s Walls
If you’re a designer, you’ve probably been following the rise and fall of interesting wall paper in recent years. In the ’90s, it was all about the pattern—a cacophony of random shapes, colors, and textures. Then came minimalism: simple patterns with clean lines and no fuss.
These days we’re seeing more interest in “interior design” (which is something of an oxymoron), including everything from paint color to furniture placement to lighting—and yes, wallpaper.
Though some designers will argue that it’s not exactly high fashion (or even decorating), wallpaper can be used for so much more than simply covering up dingy kitchen walls or hiding behind-the-scenes areas like closets or hallways.
With the right design aesthetic and know-how, this old-school design material can add character to any room—even your living room.
Noisy, Busy Designs are Out
Wallpaper is more than just a design element — it’s also a way to create a mood, theme, and focal point in your space. To that end, you’ll want to ensure that the paper you’re using reflects the style of your room and its purpose. In other words: no noisy or busy designs.
For example, if you’re using wallpaper in an office space, you may want something with bold geometric patterns or stripes. But if it’s going on your bedroom wall (which should be totally zen), try something with light colors and delicate prints for maximum tranquility.
