6 Top Furniture Trends for 2022

What’s Next For Interior Design?

The emphasis on sustainable materials continues into 2022 as awareness of environmental issues grows and causes concern. The pandemic has also had a major influence on how we design our homes, with the work-from-home trend continuing. Consequently, many of us are making greater use of whatever outdoor space we have and if we have no outdoor space, we’re bringing the outdoors in, in the form of pot plants and cut flowers.

Combined Spaces

Having separate kitchens, dining rooms and living rooms is no longer popular, with designers trying to maximise previously ‘dead’ space by combining these areas. Living under lockdown has meant that our homes are no longer just for living in; their functionality has been extended to include work, recreation and the gym. Most of this additional functionality has fallen on the living area so partitioning with various materials is popular but it can also be achieved via thoughtful arrangement of furniture.

70’s Retro Style

Our appetite for all things retro continues into 2022 with mid-century modern furniture styling holding the same appeal as it has for some years now. Flowing lines, roundness and bright shades of blue, pink and green characterise this style. The 2022 versions will be adapted to embrace Scandinavian, Art Deco and minimalist décor.

Emphasis on Sustainability

Furniture built to last a lifetime and crafted from sustainable materials such as from managed forests is taking precedence over trendy fads. At Furniture4YourHome we particularly love Tulipwood, which is one of the most sustainable timber species with net volume increase being higher than harvested wood each year in the USA.

Multi-Functional Spaces

With lockdowns lasting far longer than most of us envisaged, homes have in many cases been adapted to double up as work spaces. A dining table can serve as a work station for several family members at the same time; a sideboard can be used for storing paperwork and a bookcase can provide a pleasant backdrop for video conference calls.

Marble Surfaces

Marble has always characterised a luxurious setting but it fits harmoniously into any environment. It has long been used in kitchen design but it is now very much making an appearance in other settings such as dining and living areas. It can add character and texture and is versatile, looking equally stunning woven into classic or modern décors.

Inspiration From Nature

This links in with the sustainability theme, with designs, textures and materials reflecting the desire to embrace all things organic and natural. Pot plants and vases of flowers are added in order to help to ‘bring the outdoors in’. Natural materials can offer a sense of wellbeing in so far as you know that you’re not bringing toxic materials into your home. If it’s a natural material, you know it is safe.

Freestanding Kitchen Ideas

Image
The basic components of freestanding kitchens have all made, or are in the process of making, a comeback. Larder cupboards, also known as pantries; dressers; kitchen islands and butchers blocks are either used as the main components of a kitchen or mixed and matched with existing fitted units. The result is not only aesthetically pleasing but also good for the environment as there is less wastage, with some elements being moved from house to house through the various stages of life. The fact that everything doesn’t need to ‘match’ can also make freestanding kitchens more affordable than fitted kitchens and provides flexibility should you decide you want to move things around later on. You can add one or more freestanding units to your kitchen to complement or contrast with any existing units. 1.

How to Choose a Display Cabinet

Image
An oak display cabinet is an investment piece so it’s well worth spending a little time thinking about what its main purpose will be, prior to selecting one. Generally speaking, this involves considering available space, styling, functionality and location in addition to more obvious criteria such as budget. Above: https://www.furniture4yourhome.co.uk/deluxe-solid-oak-large-3-door-3-drawer-dresser A display cabinet can double up as a dresser, which can be particularly useful in the kitchen where a good amount of storage is needed. Cupboards and drawers hide the less interesting but essential items such as cutlery whilst elegant wine glasses and pretty tea sets can be displayed behind glazed doors. Having a display area for treasured pieces is especially valuable when the kitchen is used for dining and aesthetics of the room are therefore more important. Oak is a timeless and durable wood and can withstand the probable wear and tear determined by its location in the kitchen without...

5 Clever Storage Solutions

You’ve done the ruthless declutter and bestowed endless bags of belongings to the charity shop but you’re still short of storage space. What next? It’s time to get creative. We’ve come up with five ways to store your essential items that you might not have considered before. Above: https://www.furniture4yourhome.co.uk/breeze-blanket-box 1. Blanket Box A blanket box is no longer used for storing blankets in most households as most of us use duvets these days. For this reason alone, it might never have occurred to you to purchase one but they can be incredibly handy and versatile. A wooden or neutral painted blanket box will fit in with the décor in any room so it can be moved to wherever it is most needed. If children’s toys on the floor are the bane of your life, a blanket box in the play area is brilliant for just throwing everything into before bedtime. In the bedroom it can be used for bags, jumpers, spare dressing gowns or even towels. Pop it under a window with a cushion on t...
