Ready to check out 2022 Interior Design Trends according to sources such as Architectural Digest and House Beautiful? The 2020s have been marked by the growth of interior design movements like Cottagecore and Grandmillennial, Japandi, and Organic. The implications suggest to this blogger a growing demand for vintage furniture, sustainable pieces, traditional accessories, and objects made with natural materials.

2022 Interior Design Trends to Watch Now
What Styles Are Hello Lovely Followers Loving?
Regardless of trends, NATURAL and UNFUSSY are still buzzwords for followers of this blog who value timeless interiors. And timeless obviously isn’t a singular look. For example, timeless traditional and timeless country decor go by a hundred different names these days to suit marketers.

Whether it is farmhouse, roughluxe, shabby chic, or rustic, casual yet classic timeless style is easy to live with. I’m partial to European country influences from the UK, Scandinavia, France, and Belgium.

Here are some quotes from the poll:

Sanctuary Style & Cozy Comforts are Trending
There are a myriad of ways to live with sanctuary style whether you’re into country or urban style. If you love farmhouses in the South of France, or the minimal luxe organic beauty of California casual, a tranquil aesthetic is often achieved with a restrained color palette.
Here are some ideas to create a backdrop for a “softened refuge”:
![Softened Refuge Color Collection of paint colors for 2022 by HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams - come find these ideas for tranquil paint colors to soothe!](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/hgtv-home-by-sherwin-williams-2022-paint-color-collection-banner-hello-lovely-studio.jpg)
Creating a sanctuary need not involve an addition to your home. It can be as simple as identifying a space to chill, subtracting everything from it, and then slowly adding back soft, cozy layers. If your space has become slightly cluttered this winter, don’t wait until spring to subtract…do it now!

While this solid white oak (and made in the USA!) desk is more than I can afford, this image captures a pared-down, natural, organic look I’m always after:

You’ll find all sorts of inspiration you never even knew you needed in books by Jenni Kayne:

The 1980s Are Very Much in 2020s Consciousness
We’re still seeing so many of the colors and geometrics popular when “Who Shot JR” was a hot topic. (I actually have four matching ochre chairs like the ones in the image below to sell on FB Marketplace this week!).
![1984 living room in Architectural Digest. #1980sdesign #interiordesign](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/1980s-living-room.jpg)
Remember all the teal, mauve, windowpane patterns, preppy style, lacquered furniture, mirrored walls, waterbeds, curvy mod furniture, and paneling?
![Funky 1980s family room with lofty ceiling, wood paneling installed on diagonal, and earth tones - @jenniferthenc_realtor](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1980s-decor-family-room-paneling-fireplace-@jenniferthenc_realtor.jpeg)
I personally had plenty of chintz, and this would have been my idea of a dreamhouse:
![1980 Architectural Digest Cover (June)](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/architectural-digest-june-1980ncover.jpg)
I’m not mad at the bentwood dining chairs, the sofa, or the mushroomy lamp shades from 1984 (below), but those tables!
![Ikea 1984 catalog cover - simply the best you can afford.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/ikea-1984-catalog.jpg)
A lot of adults in their 20s and 30s seem to resonate with 1980s aesthetic. Remember bedrooms like this?
![1986 Ikea Catalog cover](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/ikea-1986-catalog-cover.jpg)
I haven’t a clue as to why a vase of flowers seemed appropriate on the floor where they are impossible to see from bed and precisely where pets and small children could have a heyday.
Indoor Gardens are a Top Well-Being Trend
According to House Beautiful, indoor gardens are the top wellbeing interior trend for 2022. Plants at home are suggestive of clean, fresh air (they don’t actually clear toxins from the air) and boost moods.
![Tower of houseplants and a vintage boho vibe with teal walls - @lola.deor. #1980sdecor #tealwalls](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/teal-walls-plants-organic-decor-lola.decor_.jpeg)
Another rising trend is a desire for natural materials so we’re ditching plastics and welcoming materials that aren’t manmade.

GREEN is 2022’s Color Crush
I’m sure you have noticed that green is everywhere. In fact, AD notes,
“…shades like emerald bring a sense of tranquility and rejuvenation into any space, whether it’s a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, or office. (It’s part of that ongoing process of reconnecting with nature.)”
![Green plays a starring role in this Ashley Whittaker designed interior with elegant staircase, Gracie wallpaper, and arched doorway. #traditionalstyle #greeninterior](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/ashley-whittaker-interior-design.jpg)

If you’re into dark green, you’ll definitely want to peek at THIS too!
![French farmhouse kitchen with cabinets painted Farrow & Ball Green Smoke - Vivi et Margot. #frenchfarmhouse #kitchen #farrowandball #greensmoke](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/008-vivi-et-margot-french-farmhouse-kitchen-ilve-range-farrow-ball-smoke-green-cabinets.jpg)
Even ceilings can be dramatic and also full of character if you’re into cocoon chic.

Is 2022 About Minimalism or Maximalism?
There are widely varying responses to this question. House Beautiful (UK) reports a 535.88% increase for interest in minimalism compared with last year.
![Green bedroom wall (Tarrytown Green HC-134) in a gorgeously organic and artful Seattle home - Nest on Capitol Hill. #tarrytowngreen #greenbedroom](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/tarrytown-green-benjamin-moore-hc134-bedroom-wall-nestoncapitolhill-cat.jpg)
Yet Architectural Digest reports an entirely different shift:
“After being confined to our homes for so long, the sterile nature of minimalism is out! More people are pivoting hard into maximalism with weird, whimsical, and wiggly decor pieces that are bursting with unapologetically fun energy.”
![Cheerful yellow gallery wall with art in Jenny Sweeney's darling boho colorful art studio.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/hello-lovely-studio-jenny-sweeney-yellow-art-studio.jpg)
I wouldn’t be surprised if in America, we’re split right down in the middle like everything else!!!
![Beautiful, whimsical black cat art with happy colors - Jenny Sweeney.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/0001-black-cat-jenny-sweeney.jpeg)
Think about it. Millennials love traditional style with vintage and interiors reminding them of their grandparents’ homes.
![Serene and zen rustic bathroom design with freestanding tub and Japandi style - @thevenetianpantry. #bathroomdesign #japandi](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/thevenetianpantry-japandi-bathroom-freestanding-tub-serene-rustic.jpeg)
You can’t really be a minimalist when you’re truly into granny’s style.

However, Gen Xers spending more time at home and looking at their spaces with fresh eyes may feel stirred to declutter and live with less.

What is your take on the minimal vs. maximal trend for 2022?

Is Country Style on the Rise?
When earth shut down in 2020, a whole lot of people began working remotely from home and many moved at least temporarily, to more rural environments.
![Leanne Ford designed entry and stairs in her Pittsburgh guest cottage - photo by Erin Kelly for Pittsburgh Post Gazette. #modernrustic #vintagestyle](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/leanne-ford-guest-cottage-living-room-stairs-pittsburgh-postgazette-erin-kelly.jpg)
Style-maker and designer Leanne Ford left LA for country living in Pennsylvania and said this about how her collection with Crate & Barrel was born:
“…it seems like everyone either moved to the country or wanted to. I fell for this look that
feels dusty, rusty and a little glam.”

OMG – wait til you see her laid back approach to decorating a Sears house in the country (with second floor ceilings so low, she couldn’t even stand in ’em!! Check out the tour here:

The thing is, there seems always to be a pendulum factor at work, whether it’s interior design or parenting style. It would not surprise me at all if urban style suddenly took off!

Passion for Vintage Style is Soaring
We’re worried about waste and sustainability and landfills so folks are thrifting and shopping FB Marketplace for vintage more than ever. My friend Jenny mixes vintage with whimsy so well:
![Turquoise wall in a charming Grandmillennial living room with vintage painting of white cat - Jenny Sweeney design on Hello Lovely. #grandmillennial #livingroom](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/hello-lovely-studio-grandmillennial-colorful-living-room-jenny-sweeney-2.jpg)
But there’s another reason vintage is so hot right now. NOSTALGIA. With the uncertainties of the present and challenging times, we long for the past.
And there are a million ways to interpret vintage style!
![ART PRINT Pink Staffordshire Dogs on Blue](https://i.etsystatic.com/14071879/r/il/a44fef/1492247574/il_794xN.1492247574_5pf2.jpg)
I’m a huge fan of how Tracie of My Petite Maison lives beautifully with vintage pieces.

Books Are Cool Again
I mean. We knew this would happen, didn’t we? There is nothing like turning real pages. It is old fashioned and the perfect antidote to techie overload if you ask me.
![Spring green vintage books, alarm clock, and vintage treasures in a vignette by Le Cultivateur. #vintagestyle #green #vintagebooks #springgreen](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/vintage-books-clock-lecultivateur.jpg)
My fingers are crossed that book collections will not just be a passing trend or a status symbol in the 2020s…I miss the library so much!

Awwww, thank you, Patti. How can I not keep it going with friends as dear as you? xox
What a fun post! I especially loved the video of Leanne Ford, she’s adorable. I grew up in an old farm house that looked similar to a Sears House. My parents covered the cracked plaster and lathe walls with paneling and covered the fir floors with carpeting. So updated they thought but in reality it was the most economical way to go. I haven’t had the pleasure of touring it but I’ve heard that the new owners have updated it nicely. It did have so much potential!
Author
How interesting! Our first home had plaster walls which had layers and layers of different wallpaper, and we added our own layer! 🙂 We also covered some of the poor condition hardwood with carpet, but today, I would live with its imperfection. That old house was torn down for a multimillion dollar mansion to be built so there’s that! I love Leanne Ford’s laid back attitude – thanks for watching and visiting me. 🙂
Still reading blogs- especially yours. Its like a gift that’s just so easy and relaxing and thought provoking . If I we’re to wrap it up I would finish it off with a bow that’s quiet and gentle .
Author
Yay!!!! I’m so lucky to have you and hope to keep delivering the lovely with tenderness and some unexpected wonder too. Peace to you, friend. xox
