In 2022 our businesses and homes are a great reflection of where we are as a collective society, what we’re prioritizing, and how we’re impacted by it. Our Design Library Manager Buffy is giving us a dive into what to expect for trends this year in our businesses and homes.
Color Predictions
Goodbye grey, hello powder, pastel, and pale blue. Along with blue hues, we will be seeing more yellows, reds, and warm, soft, and off-whites. Don’t knock it until you try it with the Sherwin William’s Color of the Year, Evergreen Fog. It’s sophisticated and nostalgic and will be the perfect splash of color for businesses and houses this year! It’s a great choice for modern interiors and exteriors and pairs perfectly with natural materials.
Masculine Art Deco
Warm woods, rich brown upholstery and wall color, and silver toned materials will soon be decking the walls of local businesses. We are loving this trend!
Brutalist Architecture
They say that trends are circular and what’s old becomes new again. There’s no architectural principle that exemplifies this principal better than brutalist architecture. Brutalist architecture seemed to start to make an appearance in late 2021 and the trend is continuing as we ease into 2022. Known for its functional reinforced concrete and steel, modular elements and utilitarian feel, brutalist architecture was primarily used for institutional buildings.
We’re looking forward to sharing more design trends soon. What are you seeing?
