Boho and desert chic designs are here, and we’re here for it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Forget \u201ckeeping up with the Joneses\u201d \u2013 are you<\/em> the Joneses? If you are the\ntrendsetter on your block, nay, in your community, this is for you. We\u2019ve\ntracked down a few of the hottest Spring d\u00e9cor and design trends of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we launch into our hot list analysis, a\nnote about trends. By definition, trends are fleeting. They are styles or\npreferences for a current moment and as a result, are constantly changing.\nBecause decorating a home is a much larger endeavor than changing out a\nhandbag, you need to become picky about trends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the trends that fit your personal style. If it\u2019s not for you, you are not going to be happy in your home, no matter the popularity of a particular trend. The one rule we all know to be true about trends is eventually, everything old is new again. So, hold on to your current d\u00e9cor, furniture, and favorite home pieces by keeping them in self-storage<\/a>. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be kicking yourself for getting rid of some of your pieces in a few years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that we\u2019ve covered those basics, let\u2019s dive in. We\u2019ve addressed some of the 2022 home design trends like maximalism<\/a>, curved home features, and biophilia<\/a> already. The list below includes a few additional ultimate Spring d\u00e9cor and design trends for 2022, including outdoor kitchens, statement ceilings and more exciting new looks. And don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve stress-tested these trends to guarantee their lasting power and the value they\u2019ll bring to your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compartmentalized Homes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It seems odd to even contemplate anything but an open floorplan these days, but it\u2019s a longstanding trend we may finally see ebbing a bit. Chalk it up to a desire to retreat into private spaces over the past few years, homeowners are now opting for more compartmentalized spaces like a kitchen separate from the living room, a distinct book nook<\/a> <\/strong>, or a home office. More than ever, we are drawn to rooms with dedicated purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Is your floor plan too open? Compartmentalize with easy shelving.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Does this mean you have to undergo an\nextensive renovation to change the floor plan of your home? Not at all. If you\nwant to embrace this trend try a few spring d\u00e9cor elements to mimic the feel of separate spaces. Look\nfor room dividers or use furniture like bookcases or buffets to section off\nlarge, open rooms to create defined spaces. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor Kitchens<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
No longer just a grill and some chairs – the outdoor kitchen is getting a major upgrade.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As the weather heats up and the sun shines\ndown, we all want to enjoy more time outdoors. Make that a reality with this\nhighly popular home feature. Outdoor\nkitchens are indeed all the rage and will be a trend for the long term.\nIt\u2019s not like you are doing to decide you don\u2019t like eating or the outdoors\nanymore, after all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If incorporating a full outdoor kitchen is on\nyour wish list, keep a few ideas in mind. First, design for function and space.\nWhile we often hear of the \u201ctriangle\u201d form for functional kitchens, an effective\nmodel for outdoor kitchens\nis to follow the \u201cU\u201d or \u201cL\u201d design; these are layout plans that adhere to the\nshape of each letter and maximize space and facilitate function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are working your way up to a more\nelaborate design and want to start small, do so by focusing on a central,\nfunctional outdoor kitchen\nitem, like a high-end grill, an outdoor pizza oven, or a smoker. The point is\nto enjoy cooking and eating outside and there are many ways to make that\nhappen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desert Chic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Play with textures and patterns to achieve this desert chic look.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes referred to as the \u201cnew boho,\u201d desert chic adds a more\nsophisticated vibe to what we loved about the relaxed boho trend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have to live in the desert to embrace desert chic? Absolutely\nnot. Desert chic is\nless about the desert itself and more about the colors and feelings the desert\nevokes. Think laid back, think warm tones, think soothing neutrals, and think\nsouthwest patterns. Yep, you\u2019ve got it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to start small with the desert chic trend. Replace\na few throw pillows or a rug with a classic desert textile like a kilim rug\nfeaturing those unique, geometric designs we associate with the southwest. Or\nadd a few plants. If it grows in the desert, it\u2019s fair game. Succulents, cacti,\npalms, and air plants all serve up desert chic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, consider a new paint color\nand go to images of the desert for inspiration by embracing earthy, southwestern boho d\u00e9cor\ntones like sand, sage green, and adobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking the Outdoors In <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This year we are continuing a trend from 2021: taking the outside indoors with natural materials and calming yet inspirational colors and d\u00e9cor. One way to embrace this trend is to think about colors. Yes, we want calming, nature-inspired colors, but that doesn\u2019t mean the muted whites, grays, and blues we\u2019ve seen for the past few years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Twigs, sticks, stumps and leaves are all becoming part of indoor d\u00e9cor this year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Instead, think of bright colors in muted shades. Pale blues and pinks, soft yellows and greens. These colors come from nature and the muted element means they help create the relaxed and calming effect we want to conjure in our homes right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\naddition to colors, consider natural materials. Go beyond the traditional pine\nor oak and include pieces made from rattan, cane, leather, jute, or wicker.\nThese pieces will add interest to your home and blend together to create a\nunified feel.  Finally, don\u2019t forget the\nplants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statement Ceilings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Statement ceilings are an exciting Spring d\u00e9cor trend and we\nare here for it. The whole motto of this trend is: look up! It\u2019s time to\nconsider the ceiling its own canvas in our homes and do something exciting and unique\nwith the space. A few ideas include a two-toned paint color, one akin to your\nwall color but with either a slightly darker or lighter shade, bold wallpaper\npatterns, and metallic tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Remodeling a kitchen? Look up? Rustic beams and even wallpaper are ceiling worthy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We tend to think hyper-splashy when we think\nof statement ceilings (circus chic anyone?) but you don\u2019t have to go that\nroute. Some of the biggest statements come from minimalist design and feature\narchitectural elements like beams or molding. Don\u2019t be afraid to color outside\nthe lines, either. Literally. The \u201cfifth wall\u201d offers endless opportunities to\ncontinue a pattern or feature from the wall onto the ceiling, creating a\n3-dimensional look. Or use untraditional materials like fabric, blocks of wood\nor tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is a huge trend \u2013 and design\nconcern \u2013 when it comes to home design and decoration. Making your home\nbeautiful should not come at the cost of the planet\u2019s own beauty and health.\nIncreasingly, we are asking good questions when it comes to our home design\nchoices. Add these to your arsenal so you can make smart decisions when it\ncomes to your home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Where was this made and how far did it travel\nto get here?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • What is it made of?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • How is it made?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"
    What is your home made of?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Educate yourself about the best answers to\nthese questions. Locally constructed items built from recycled materials are\ngreat options, but also consider the dyes or chemicals used in a product. Those\nchemical by products often end up in our water supplies. Feel good about your\nhome by feeling good about the earth-friendliness of each change or addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A \u201870s Vibe <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"
    The ’70s are back, but make it fashionably chill in your home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    2022 Spring d\u00e9cor and design has an interesting\nharkening back to the 1970s. We are not sure what that is entirely about.\nNostalgia for disco? A latent appreciation for shag carpet? Whatever the\nreason, the \u201870s are back in a big way and there are a few approaches you can take\nto incorporate this trend into your home design and d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Try a variety of patterns and textures to get that throwback feel. Textures and materials like velvet, wood paneling, and rattan were \u2013 and are \u2013 all the rage. Patterned wallpaper a la Elvis\u2019s Jungle Room is also making a comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Get creative with your furniture to bring the\n\u201870s into today. Hanging chairs anyone? How about macram\u00e9 plant holders?\nBamboo, wicker and rattan furniture? Yes, yes and yes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Hopefully these 2022 spring d\u00e9cor trends inspire fun changes in your home. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
