Embrace the new year’s momentum and shake up your living space design with the right home accessories and furniture. We rounded up the top interior design trends for 2022.

T he 2022 color of the year might be Very Peri, but when it comes to what is trending in the home décor world, a color palette of neutrals and greens is the way. See what else has made the cut for interior design trends.

1. Biophilic design

Brigette Romanek 's design for a residence in Laurel Canyon

The technical term for the familiar desire to be close to other forms of life (think plants and animals) is having its moment. Whether bringing greenery inside to make your home office more friendly or using natural materials to feel a connection with nature, biophilic design makes spending more time indoors a pleasant journey. Shop the trend

Austrian Life-Size Pottery Figure of a Pug , Burmese Root-Form Carved Yaksha, Aqua Creations Morning Glory Floor Lamp, Johann Wilhelm Weinmann Floral Botanical Prints, Chamberlain Worcester English Porcelain Shell-Form Inkwell




2. Natural elements

Jessica Helgerson 's design for a Brush Prairie residence

As we delve into the hybrid lifestyle of home office and “real” office, our boundaries of what is considered “outdoor furniture” are also evolving. Materials that were once used for outdoor living areas are making their way indoors. Rattan, bamboo and wicker furniture and home décor accents are all in demand right now. Shop the trend.

3. Round and curved forms

Alison Pickart ’s design for Infinity Tower

Although the design trend pendulum will always swing back and forth between minimalist and maximalist, curvy furniture (and curved motifs) sits right in the middle of both ideas. Clean curved lines complement a restrained aesthetic while still playing nice in a layered, visually rich room. Shop the trend

William Wegman 'Letters, Numbers, Punctuation', Jariet Oloyé Dimple Brooch, Mathias Bengtsson Spun Table, Pilar Wiley 'White Spotted Pony'



4. Vintage items

Carrier and Company Interiors ' design for a Tribeca loft

Buying antique and vintage furniture is arguably one of the best ways to satisfy both conscious consumerism and sourcing transparency needs. In a day and age where one is surrounded by multiple choices and endless production of goods, old-school craftsmanship and objects with lineage have an unmistakable appeal. Shop the trend

Paul Mayen Multi-Reflector Pendant Lamp, Fabienne Jouvin Cloisonné Kodi Canister, Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe, Knoll MR 30/5 Lounge Chair, Lysgaard Møbler Round Danish Bar Cabinet

5. Neutral and green tones

Summer Thornton ’s design for a penthouse at the famed art deco Palmolive Building in Chicago

Our specialists are happy to put the ubiquitous Millennial Pink in the past and welcome a family of greens and taupe in home décor. Think of it as a continuation of biophilic design and the need to be in a soothing and calming environment. Shop the trend

David Bowie, Laura Ashley Minotaur Wallpaper, Karl Springer Octagonal Wall Mirror, Neoclassical Style Carved Alabaster Lidded Vases , Pair of Chinese Famille Verte Dragon Vases, C.A.S. Vietri Figural Fish Plates
