Check out the rest of our blog to see what interior designers and homeowners are obsessing over this year.
Muted Neutrals
The words natural and neutral have been major buzzwords for interior design in 2022. After a hectic couple of years, homeowners are searching for sanctuary in their own homes and moving towards a more natural and neutral approach to their home, reminiscent of the comfort of Hygee. Neutral area rug designs and colors are becoming increasingly more popular as they are versatile to many different home designs and manage to accentuate living rooms without becoming the center of attention.
Jewel Tones & Trending Colors
Besides neutrals, jewel tones are having their time in the spotlight with earth-colored jewel tones reigning supreme. Teals, green, blues and grays are also making a splash as they add stunning color to an interior.
Keep it Simple
To continue onto the more natural approach to home design, simple, non-intrusive area rugs are making a splash. While simple area rugs might not sound terribly exciting they are actually a practical and refined accessory choice. Simple, no-frills area rugs complement your home design for a more put-together cohesive look.
A natural pattern also works well to give the simple area rug look with a twist!
