After many people spent a lot of time within their own four walls in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, calm and relaxed colors are enjoying great popularity this year. After all, never before has your own home been more important than in the past few months. We would therefore like to reveal which colors are among the design trends for 2022 and how they can best be showcased.
The trend colors of 2022
Most people tried to make the best of their situation during the lockdown. To this end, they made various changes within their own four walls, with colors playing a decisive role. This is because the trend colors are significantly calmer compared to previous years and spread a restrained, balanced mood. For this reason, the trend colors of 2022 can be found not only on walls, but also custom-made rugs and other home accessories are available in these colors.
How do the trend colors come about?
The trend colors are not chosen by experts, but rather crystallize through observations and market research studies. In addition to the five trend colors, which we will introduce to you below, orchid, terracotta, or greige (a combination of gray and beige) also continue to be among the most popular colors in the living area.
Muted green
It is no coincidence that the 2022 trend colors reveal a certain longing for nature. A certain naturalness can be created through muted green tones. Therefore, green tones are extremely popular, especially in urban areas, but natural shades are also very much in vogue in the countryside. This is because natural green colors can visually align interiors with the outdoors and ensure a beautiful transition.
Warm earth tone
The so-called cocooning effect describes the need to make yourself comfortable in your own home as if in a cocoon. To create a feeling of warmth and security in a living space, natural, soft earth tones that radiate a certain warmth are particularly suitable. Such colors can be combined excellently with soft, cozy textiles.
Beige
For several years now, both the Japanese and Scandinavian interior styles have enjoyed great popularity. Both styles radiate a certain calm, which has an extremely relaxing effect. However, the minimalist furnishings also contribute to this, with a conscious avoidance of all types of distraction.
A combination of the Japanese and Scandinavian styles is referred to as "Japandi" and is characterized by light colors, clear lines, and soft beige tones that contribute to relaxation.
Dark blue
A contrast to light beige tones is provided by a tinted dark blue. This color not only creates depth but also ensures a cozy atmosphere, even though blue is a comparatively cold color. This is partly due to the fact that blue helps to emphasize other colors in the surroundings.
In addition, dark colors are often perceived as particularly calm, although the choice of suitable accessories also plays a role. This can include rugs among other things, cushions, or other textiles, and the lighting should be as warm as possible.
Yellow nuances
The two shades "Ultimate Gray" and "Illuminating" were among the most popular colors last year. While "Ultimate Gray" is a calming shade of gray, the term "Illuminating" hides a cheerful yellow. This year, however, one encounters colors like apricot and ocher more frequently, which are intended to spread calm and warmth.
However, muted yellow tones and various yellow nuances, which stand for warmth and comfort within your own four walls, are particularly trendy this year.
