Celadon L-Shape Modular Fabric Sofa with Movable Side Table
When we think of trends in terms of fashion, aspects like colours, way of styling, materials, and even shapes are said to be “in season” and have a long-term influence on the population. With many individuals searching high and low for the pieces, such trends have a short and long-term influence on the market. And contrary to popular belief, the same can be said about interior design. Just like fashion, interior design is influenced by current events and the latest innovation. Back in the day, doilies were all the rage. Today, chic materials like leather are revered for their durability and natural sophistication. However, there is no denying that trends come and go, and it can be hard to discern the direction that the next new interior design trend will take and whether your purchase is one that will remain in trend for the next few years.
In 2022, we see the continuation of interior design trends that have a direct influence on homeowners’ moods and well-being. In the early 2000s, trends like Feng Shui that impacted energy flow took the world by storm. Then a few years later, the Japanese practice of Wabi Sabi, which was all about embracing imperfections, made waves all over the world of interior design. Similarly, this year, with many slowly finding their footing post-pandemic, there is a strong sense of desire to create a space that reflects how we are feeling. With the pandemic forcing us to slow down and spend more time at home, it is safe to say that the top interior design trends for 2022 revolve solely around homeowners feeling emotionally at ease. Not sure exactly what those entails? Fret not! We cover the top 5 interior trends of 2022 in this blog.
1. Deep Neutrals for Rich, Elegant & Timeless Spaces

In space-scarce Singapore, the all-white minimalist crisp look is frequently the go-to choice amongst homeowners to give the illusion of a bigger abode. But with a monotonous hue splattered across the walls, very little visual comfort is offered by this shade. One of the top interior trends of 2022, is to go past the “all white” scheme and embrace colour. This does not mean taking colour experimentation as a fun game and throwing in a range of different clashing hues together. Rather, choose a palette that is very close to those that you would find in nature. This means colours such as earthy browns, burnt umber, and other terracotta tones are worthy of being swatted all over the walls – even if you are going for a monochromatic look. If painting your walls brown or deep neutrals to create a timeless space that envelops you in unrivalled cosiness is too much of a big change, you can take small steps with comfort furniture designs instead.
Furniture pieces like wooden coffee tables such as the Celadon Coffee Table with Gold-Tipped Steel Legs boast a striking design that will make a statement in any living space without straying too far from the main goal – to create a comfortable home.

But it’s not just the living room where you can integrate such natural materials and colours. Wooden bed frames in the bedroom, wooden dining chairs in the dining room, and wooden TV consoles like the Dansk wooden TV Console are all furniture pieces that allow you to bring a little bit of nature’s best colours indoors.
2. Resurgence in Natural Surfaces

Just like how earthy browns and other nature-inspired colours make the top of the list when it comes to interior trends of 2022, nature-inspired surfaces and objects are deemed trendy too. Beyond the aforementioned wooden furniture, natural surfaces like marble and stone will help strengthen the connection with nature. The relatively imperfect characteristics of these organic materials, with their one-of-a-kind veins and design, will add depth to any living space, elevating its stylistic and visual appeal. To add a little bit of texture and the wonders of nature back into your home, use quartz stone dining tables like the Carrara Quartz Top Dining Table with Marble Accents. Combining the best of both marble stone dining tables and quartz stone, this contemporary dining table creates an opulent dining experience with its masterful blending of marble accented quartz and other materials from nature. Sintered stone dining tables are also another fast-rising star and alternative to consider for their similar natural-looking vibe to quartz.
3. Pattern Play for Texture & Depth

One creative way is to play with geometric shapes and patterns. Capable of adding more depth and texture to any space, mixing up the fabrics and shapes in your home will serve as the perfect way to combine the sensual curves found in nature with flawless man-made angles. This means that wood coffee tables like the Dansk Coffee Table, the Ribb Bed Frame in FabricGard, and the Colour Display Cabinet are perfect choices for your home. Enveloping a space with its sensual shapes and curved edges, these furniture pieces create more visual contrast unlike any other.
4. Dual-Purpose Rooms & Furniture

While many of us may have returned back to the office, there are some who still require their homes to double as their work rooms – this is simply part of the new normal. From bedrooms having to function as offices to dining tables transforming into office desks, every room now serves dual purposes. To help design a room that can efficiently work double duty, many homeowners have resorted to buying more new furniture in the hopes that their newly equipped rooms will work harder for them. This, however, only leads to more floor space being occupied, making dual-purpose furniture the ultimate solution to nip this problem in the bud. Bed frames like the Ola Slim Bed Frame with Storage Divan come with hidden storage space so that more space in the bedroom can be freed up when clutter is stored within it. Sofas like the Elda L-shaped Fabric Sofa with Wooden Storage Arm also serve double duty with their wooden arms functioning as shelves – great to store controllers and magazines in an elegant way.
5. Leather Furniture & Upholstery
Penna Motorise Leather Recliner Sofa with Adjustable Headrests
Last but not least, the final interior design trend that has taken over 2022 is that of leather furniture and upholstery. Always appealing, sophisticated and classy like wooden furniture, leather furniture pieces are making a major comeback this year. Just like how many of our lives have transformed and changed dramatically due to the pandemic, this material has a unique ability to tell a story. The patina that develops over time as it wears is no longer seen as a negative trait. Compared to other materials and upholstery that many see as an eye sore after years of use, the age shown on a leather sofa is a characteristic to be in awe of. But for a modern touch, homeowners can opt for sofas like a leather recliner. Pieces like the Penna Motorised Leather Recliner Sofa with Adjustable Headrests unite the beauty of old traditions with innovation. Luxuriously padded with spacious leather seats, the adjustable headrests and motorised recliner function add a modern touch.
