As we start this new year, there is one question that is on everyone's mind: What's next? Trends can come and go faster than you can say "open concept floor plan," but if the last two years have taught us anything, it's that a lot can change seemingly overnight. If you need proof, look no further than your own home. Although quality time at home was once reserved for nights and weekends, many now consider their space a multifunctional center. (Not only is it your home where you eat, sleep and relax, but it also functions as your office, gym and restaurant.)

To help give an idea of what will be happening in the world of home decor this year, we asked four interior designers about the trends that they think will dominate in 2022. Their responses run the gamut between old and new: Some believe that the Decadal offices and nature-inspired interiors of 2021 are here to stay, while others are partial to more luxurious touches. However, no matter what trends interest you, it's safe to say that your home is in for a bright, aesthetically pleasing new year.

Grandmother's Decor

While Ariel Orkin doesn't subscribe to the fleeting nature of trends, she is partial to the big millennial phenomenon that is currently having a moment. For the New York-based designer, this is a trend that shows no signs of slowing down. "I think that chintz, antiques and Decking will continue to gain popularity among a younger set in 2022," she shares. "I'm really happy to see a younger generation embracing traditional design with a new touch." Nowadays, many brands offer a new take on this style, but Orkin says that it is possible to find historical pieces on a budget. "Buy local and vintage," she shares. "If you follow your intuition and find out what you like, you start collecting things that inform your own personal style versus following trends, and then you feel like your house is dated after a few years."While investigating an estate sale is a great way to uncover a hidden gem, Orkin is also Chairish and 1. He also prefers online destinations such as Dibs.

Luxurious Touches

For Taniya Nayak, 2022 will be all about the small luxuries of home. "I add stylish statement pieces everywhere, from living rooms and bedrooms to laundry rooms and renovated basements, " says the designer. "By adding just a few luxurious touches, you will spruce up a room and make your decor feel bright, shiny and new. The good news is that there's more than one way to bring a fancy flair to your field. Although Nayak is partial to velvet, metallic accents and mirrored details, you can always create a wow factor with oversized accessories. "I personally love a big statement watch," he adds. "A statement mirror is another way to add sparkle and depth to any room."

Pet-Friendly Furniture

Why limit small luxuries to the people in your home? Nayak says the pet-focused decor, which she affectionately calls "barkitecture," is poised to make a splash in 2022. ""People want to treat their pets, but in a way that doesn't damage their decor,"" she shares. "Pets are part of the family, and now it's very easy to give them something where they can relax comfortably and at the same time stylish." And similar to your own luxury touches, "barkitecture" can be tailored to fit your space, needs and budget. "Incorporate pieces inspired by your pet into your home, such as a fun wall organizer that's perfect for hanging collars and leashes," adds Nayak. "Of course, the 'barkitecture' should also include stylish accessories for your furry friends."
