Home designers and decorators are excited to delve into the new colours and patterns of 2022. Designing rooms with calming neutrals and bright hues to restore, refresh and revitalise our homes is a welcome start to an optimistic outlook for this year.
Budget-minded
If there is one thing we all learned in the past year it’s to expect the unexpected. We are finding ways to stretch our budgets in every area of life. This includes home decorating. There is an interesting article by Lottoland that features an award-winning designer who is an expert at making the most modest homes look chic and expensive on a budget.

One trending colour to expect to see a lot of in 2022 is Farrow & Ball, Babpuche No. 223. This is a sunny, golden yellow named after the colour of men’s leather slippers worn in Morocco. The yellow is not overpowering, and it gives a comfortable feel to any room. Use Babouche No. 223 on walls, and trim them in white for a perfect dark-on-light look.
You will also see recommendations from Farrow & Ball for “School House White.” This is a muted, off-white to brighten a dark area. Trim it with a timeless bright white. This makes an excellent backdrop for your framed fabric crafts, dark paintings, and soft lights. This design will look charming, even in a tiny room or a breakfast nook.
Other colours recommended for 2022 include Lulworth blue. This lighter hue of blue gives the calming effect we are looking for. Browse their site for lovely shades of gray and green. Feel free to do the reverse for a chic look. Paint your walls white, eggshell, or off-white and trim them in colours.

Dulux
Dulux is an international brand of architectural paint. This respected company has been in business since 1931. Dulux has been an inspiration to decorators for nearly 100 years. They have announced their colour of the year for 2022 is “Olive Sprig.” The colour is a soft grey-green that represents regrowth.
You will find other selections in the family that will complement your decor. Grey, Green, Sky Blue, and even a whisper of pink will give you the trending look of the new year.
Ideas for this year are warm and welcoming decor. Simple styles that are all about comfort. Try a very light pink paint on walls with navy blue furniture or bedding for a more dramatic look. Use grey and green or shades of blue in a room with a heavy wood presence. Olive Sprig looks stunning against a stone fireplace or a lovely wooden table.
Benjamin Moore
Benjamin Moore is an American company that has been an industry leader since 1883. Benjamin Moore is well-known for trending colours and for timeless standards. The Benjamin Moore colour of the year for 2022 is a silver-green hue called “October Mist.”
You will find this line is leaning toward more vintage colours for the year. Various shades of green and grey are popular. Look for dramatic colours like “Wildflower” and “Hint of Violet” to create a stunning living room, kitchen, or breakfast room. Trims of white called “Steam” and “Collector’s Item” will bring any area to life and give one the feeling of hopefulness.
Furniture trends
It is all about vintage for 2022. Designers are not letting shortages cramp their style. Look for old, one-of-a-kind, and refurbished—shop estate sales for bargains. If you buy new items, look for sustainable and eco-friendly furniture.
Minimalist designs for open and roomy floorplans are big. Go ahead and get crafty. Make your wall hangings, swags, and arrangements. Bring in flashes of colour with throws and pillows.
Conclusion
We are excited to press on into the new year. Your home should reflect hope for the future and comfort for today. Your colours should make you breathe easier. When people enter your home, it should feel welcoming and warm. You can accomplish this with colour and design.
Our homes reflect ourselves. Take the time to determine what you want your home to say about you. When your guests leave, that is the impression they take with them. Luckily, you can make it anything you want it to be. Celebrate a brand-new year with a brand-new look!
