Check Out These Up-and-Coming Home Design Trends

Some designs will carry over from 2022, such as mixed metals, layering textures, and using neutral colors. But other trends take it a step further into new territory.

Take a look:

1. Sustainable Décor:

Sustainability is a rising theme for the upcoming year. Choose natural fibers over synthetic rugs. Choose natural woods and pieces that can be repurposed in other areas. Our farmhouse braided rugs are made of jute, wool, and cotton, which are sustainable fabrics that will last years without breaking down or needing to be replaced.

2. Right-Sizing:

Many homeowners are downsizing to live in spaces that they need rather than living in oversized houses that take a disproportionate amount of money to heat/cool, and light up. Used braided area rugs to divide great rooms in homes. For example, add a rug under the desk on one side of the room to separate it from the seating area on the other side of the room with an oval braided rug. Maximize the function of each room in your home.

3. Art Deco:

Intricate patterns and delicate figurines are reemerging to add versatility and uniqueness to homes. Line the walls with patterned wallpaper. Then choose a neutral oval braided rug to continue adding character without overpowering the detailed walls.

4. Dark Countertops:

Bright kitchens filled with natural light are always in style, but by adding a dark countertop, you create a contrast worth talking about. Let your dark countertop stand out while adding braided runner rugs along the kitchen walkways for comfort and softness.

5. Fun and Eclectic Patterns:

Now is the time to implement patterns and wow visitors’ eyes when they walk into your room. Choose bold patterns of braided rugs in reds and deep greens. The oval patterns are gorgeous and inviting. Chevron and lined patterns in square braided rugs are also perfect for a bland guest bathroom or a guest bedroom.

6. Rounded Edges and Curves:

Curved and shapely furniture can make your room look like a piece of art. Enhance the curved edges with an oval braided rug or a round braided rug in a neutral or pop of color. Bookshelves, coffee tables, and even arches are added with curved edges, making the room look inviting.

7. Meaningful Items:

Choose pieces of décor that mean something to you. Perhaps you loved horses and rode horses as a child. In that case, implement art filled with horses or wallpaper prints displaying your childhood interest. Another example is highlighting family history by displaying a blanket that was crocheted by your grandmother or laying out a replica of a braided rug found in pictures of your childhood home.

8. Organic Shapes:

Coffee tables, end tables, and even kitchen tables are made from wood in its natural shape. Perhaps you use a stump for your end table where you can set drinks and books. Or let your kitchen table be filled with character by enhancing its knots and grains. Place a country braided rug under your kitchen table to create a setting of peace and escape.

9. Mindfulness Theme:

Each room in the new year will focus on an element of self-care. Instead of choosing furniture pieces that are beautiful but uncomfortable, go for character and comfort. For example, your lounge chair can sit in front of the window where the light pours in, and you take a minute to meditate each morning. Or you can set up a backyard patio with pillows, a soft braided rug, and other comforting elements to start each morning out right on the back patio. Find a quiet area of the house that is designed just for you. What do you love? When can you find some time to get away and focus on your needs and decompress from the day?

10. Nostalgic Elements:

Go back in time by implementing design elements from the past. Do you love an aesthetic with blue and pink velvet furniture and paisley wallpaper? What about maps on the walls and a globe on display? You can make your home however you want it with highlights from past decades.

11. Unique and Exciting Home Offices:

Perhaps you threw together your home office design, thinking no one else is going to come into the space, so why put money and time into décor? But now people realize how many hours they spend at their desks and want to make the space fun. So go all out by implementing shapes, textures, and colors into your home office design. Add a fun chair for visitors to sit and frame your desk with a square braided rug in a bold color. Decorate the space for you and no one else.

As you decorate your home, think of what will thrill you to see each day as you walk into the central room of your home. When you incorporate personal touches that reflect your personality, you can have a modern home filled with meaning and love.
