Industrial looks are getting overshadowed by natural elements.
Industry professionals were asked about fading and emerging interior-design trends.
They said that open floor plans will likely decrease in popularity.
According to experts, floral prints, black accents, and nature-inspired looks are on the rise.
Open-floor plans are not as functional as divided spaces.
It's no longer as comfortable to have one big space for your kitchen and living room.
The CEO of the home-improvement company Loftera told Insider that open-floor plans may be ending their popularity.
He said that many people learned the hard way that the kitchen, home office, dining area, great room, and living room should not all be the same. Privacy leads to a lack of function.
Those with open spaces may want to add some separation through wall dividers and other forms of privacy.
Fast furniture will be less of a fad.
People are buying furniture that is built to last.
The founder of Stone Wizards said that shopping for cheap, semiquality furniture that can be built quickly at home won't be as popular going forward.
I think we'll see less fast furniture in the future. He said that people are modifying rooms to provide flexible and adaptive living spaces. Clients are opting for better pieces that have a bigger purpose for the sake of longevity.
The open shelving is likely to be replaced.
Everything on the shelves is disorganized.
It might be coming to an end, but open shelving had a major moment.
Over the past couple of years, people have spent more time at home and used their kitchens, said Andra DelMonico, a home-design writer for Trendey.
She said that open shelving doesn't work and just ends up looking disorganized and messy, while also lacking the storage capacity of cabinets.
She told Insider that a combination of upper cabinets and decorative shelving will pave the way this year.
Kitchen hoods are becoming less popular.
They don't provide a clean look.
Adam Meshberg, the founder and CEO of Meshberg Group, an architecture and interior-design firm, said that beautiful and stylish kitchen hoods have become a staple in many kitchens, but we may start to see less of them.
He said that traditional restaurant-style kitchen hoods will disappear in 2022, as residents opt for the cleaner and concealed look. The rest of the kitchen cabinets will now have low profile kitchen hoods.
The decade of popularity for Gray is coming to an end.
The neutral grays are no longer favored.
White, beige, and gray are all popular colors in the home. It seems that gray is phasing out the fastest.
Color schemes come and go, but typically have a popularity lifeline for a decade. DelMonico told Insider that Gray is coming to an end. People are tired of neutral colors like white, beige, and gray.
She said that while gray color schemes are still popular for their universally appealing look in kitchens, we should expect to see more bold and dramatic colors for cabinets and backsplashes this year.
On the other hand, flowers are having a big moment.
Adding floral elements to your home can be done with wallpapers.
Mark and Nichole Schulze, the co-owners of the design firm, said that right now, florals are taking center stage.
"Florals are having a moment, in many different forms, in wallpaper, which continues to be a strong need." They told Insider that floral motifs are occurring in more fabrics. "We believe that people are looking for joy and nothing can deliver it more readily than flowers, color, and pattern."
Black accents will be popular.
Black accents can make things pop.
Black will make a breakthrough when it comes to some of the smaller home details.
Autumn Stankovsky, an interior designer at Floor360, told Insider that black is the color to watch in 2022. We will see black window frames, trim, doors, cabinet hardware, faucets, and door frames.
Black is sleek and modern. It matches many other colors, making it an easy pick.
Round shapes are becoming popular.
Round shapes can be used in furniture, lighting, and decor.
According to Insider, we could expect more round ones throughout the home because of the different shapes that contribute to different themes and vibes.
He said that more rounded shapes will be seen in furniture, lighting, and home decor. Rounded, organic shapes give a space a more soothing feel.
Nature-inspired interiors may become the norm.
Shades of green and natural materials can achieve this trend.
Homeowners are trying to find more ways to bring nature indoors.
She said that now that people have embraced the outdoor-living lifestyle, they realize they can't spend all their time outside. The simplest approach we've seen is to use more shades of green. This could be with paint or fabrics.
DelMonico said that flora- and fauna-patterned fabrics are gaining popularity and that you could enhance the trend with natural materials and live plants.
It is still having its moment.
Last year, wallpaper was very popular.
It's an easy way to decorate your walls without committing to anything, and you can find any color and style of wallpaper for your home.
Kim Turner, a designer at Kim Turner Design and the advancement director at Dwell With Dignity, told Insider that grass cloth is having its biggest surge since the 1960s and 1970s.
She said that it is driven by the fact that it is a natural and eco-friendly material and that it matches almost any design style.
Green is a hot new color.
Green is going to be big this year.
The founder of a design firm said that there's one hue that's gaining steam and that it's an essential part of interior design.
She said that people are itching to have a change of scenery within their personal spaces because they have been trapped in their homes for so long. The green renaissance will be in full swing by 2022, whether in paint or decor.
The designer said that a sense of calm can be achieved by incorporating soft shades of green.
