10 Design Trends to Implement Right Now!

Fall 2022 is here and Nicole Arnold Interiors is back from the High Point Trends Market to share with you some of this year’s hottest trends! After perusing the many new furnishings and accessories at the Market, the team found these 10 design trends that will be popular throughout the rest of 2022 and into 2023. There is truly something for every interior. The question is…which ones will appeal most to you?

The color blush has been gaining momentum and is here to stay. You can use a tanner version of the color as a neutral or a brighter version to add a pop of femininity and warmth to your home. It’s a really nice way to brighten the earthy greens, blues, and cream tones that are back this autumn.

This taut, coarse-textured fabric is making its way into all kinds of upholstered items, such as couches and armchairs. It’s a nice complement to rigid finishes and smooth fabrics. And, it’s a great way to throw an accent into a room without going too extreme!

Cane furniture was once relegated as old-fashioned or traditional. The texture has been reinvented in many different design styles, including in industrial, contemporary, and transitional designs Even brightly colored, painted cane brings a fun spin to a classic design element. Cane is a perfect design choice for living rooms, entryways, and bedrooms!

When your upholstery piece needs a little pop, yet you want to keep the look simple, consider adding a contrast welt (the trim and buttons) on the edges of the furniture. You can use it to highlight the curvature or shape of your furniture, making the piece much more dynamic! You can utilize stark color tones like black and white or subtle tones like tan and cream. Either way, this is an excellent way to get a designer detail within your home.

There are so many curves and rounded components incorporated into upholstery, case pieces, and light fixtures this year. Whether it be dramatic or minimalistic curves, these lines exude allure and confidence! Geometric diversity is very important in designing an interesting room and this trend is an easy one to implement.

The latest and greatest trend in cooling a room stylishly is the FANDELIER. This is part fan, part chandelier (or decorative fixture). For those that can’t embrace a ceiling fan as the room’s main light fixture yet still need to cool the room, this is your solution! Don’t let how glam they are fool you…they move a ton of air!

Furniture frames can sometimes be rather boring, so the special details brought to them are very important for a custom look. Consider some of these wood, fabric, and metal treatments that take these simple pieces from drab to fab!

Two-tone colors, metals, woods, and textural materials are remarkably prevalent in case goods (such as bookshelves and dressers) because they make a bold statement. This trend provides depth to any space by appearing in high contrast or low contrast tones. It adds a touch of individuality to your space and we think it’s a wonderful conversation starter!

Soon you’ll start seeing these trends surface in magazines, digital media, stores and showrooms. They’re hot and very current! However, what we love most about each design element is that they provide timelessness and balance in any space – which makes your investment in them a lasting one!
