The new year, 2022, is nearly here, and it is sure to bring with it exciting and refreshing new interior design trends. Now, when it comes to the start of a new year, it’s always an enticing prospect to re-do, refurbish, makeover or renovate one’s living spaces – whatever comes close to starting fresh.
The ways in which you choose to redo your living space at the start of a new year can really set the tone for the rest of the year. The look and feel of your home play a very important part in the way you feel – a well-documented fact by now.
While there are many ways in which one could go about creating these “fresh starts” at the beginning of a new year, one of the quickest and most efficient ways to give your home a facelift is playing around and experimenting with the walls in your living space.
Here are 6 wallpaper trends you can play around with this coming year.
Make It Pop with 3D Textures
This coming year, bring a 3D design home and adorn your walls with some real, tactile textural wallpaper. Wallpaper, in its traditional form, is 2D complete with prints and patterns. But interior designers and experts in the field predict that wallpaper is going to get a lot more interesting in 2022. The texture is going to become a real focal point, with accents actually popping out of the wallpaper. Crumpling, material inserts like wood and glass, and real material like jute and rattan are sure to make an appearance.
While this kind of wallpaper can be a little tricky to work with in terms of installation, it usually remains quite hardy because of the amount of work that goes into creating such sheets. So, if you’re up for a long-term investment, and are willing to experiment with some really unique design, then 3D wallpaper is a super fun option to consider.
Earthy Meets Minimal in 2022
This coming year is primed for that minimalistic, rustic vibe. 2020 is going to see a lot of earthy tones and textures being incorporated in terms of interior design, and that applies to wallpaper as well. Earthy browns, olive green, mustard yellow, creams and toned-down whites are all set to be preferred colours in wallpaper choice in the year ahead.
Moreover, in terms of texture, matte and crumpled wallpaper will be a design favourite.
Wallpaper of this type can be really versatile, considering it isn’t a statement piece. So, it makes for the perfect blank canvas to design the rest of your home with.
Get Crazy with Vibrancy
What’s life without a little bit of fun, right? While earthy and minimal tones of wallpaper are going to be popular in 2022, there’s also another wallpaper trend that is, supposedly, going to leave its mark on the year ahead. Think vibrant, funky, loud and bold. Statement wallpaper is here to have its moment and shine bright under the spotlight this year, and for good reason too.
With the kind of colourful, artistic options out there, you have the chance to make your walls the centrepiece of your home in 2022. So, go crazy. Once again, wallpaper like this is great to make a statement and easy to install, too.
Bring Nature Home
Following in the footsteps of that vibrancy we just talked about, is a wallpaper that highlights nature. Animal prints, bird prints and floral prints are all set to take centre stage. Wallpaper of this kind works really well for wall inserts or in specific areas of your home like the bar area, a wall in your bathroom or as a statement wall in the living room.
Given its artistic value, wallpaper that features such prints may be a little pricey depending on the amount of work gone into creating each sheet. But then again, these kinds of prints don’t get boring and can last a very long time.
Eco-Friendly Wallpaper
As we spoke in our piece about home décor trends of 2022, sustainability and the use of environmentally friendly materials in interior design is going to be a major priority in the coming year. The same goes for wallpaper.
Wallpaper can often be an environmentally costly affair; the production process being expensive on natural resources. So, in 2022, consider using wallpaper made of more sustainable materials and manufactured through eco-friendly processes.
Wallpaper Inserts – Wallpaper the New Way
We’re all used to wallpaper that adorns entire walls, but 2022 is a new year, and so there’s a new way of using wallpaper in town, too. Wallpaper inserts are the new thing.
Just like interior design uses wall inserts to jazz up the look of a space, wallpaper inserts can also be used to give your space a unique and fresh look. If you’re not keen on having an entire wall done up with wallpaper, this method of using wallpaper may be the best solution.
Consider using jazzy, funky prints and you’ve got yourself another statement piece in the house.
Wallpaper may seem like a costly or time-consuming affair. But if it’s done right, it can be a great investment in the design of your home. And with these new trends in store, you’ve got yourself a whole lot of fun to play with. Get in touch with our HomeLane experts for the best interior advice and revamp ideas for your home!
