Pastels are Making a Comeback

Another light-colored trend - pastels are coming back in style! These soft, light hues are ideal for curating a gentle, sophisticated interior. Create a dreamy space with pastel furniture, textiles, and wall art. The beauty of pastels is that you can mix and match with the guarantee that your entire interior will flow. While bold colors have been trending this year, the complete opposite is also having a major moment. 2022 is all about commitment, and an all-pastel space is just as daring as dark and moody hues.

A Monochromatic Marvel

Dare to experiment with a monochromatic color palette. You can explore an all-neutral space or you can go with something more audacious. All-blue spaces are also hot this year, due to their calming quality. Regardless of the shade you choose as your base, this trend avoids contrast all together. If you’re not sure how to choose the best base color for your space, start with a piece of wall art that catches your eye. Once you choose the print that speaks to you, use its dominant color as inspiration for the rest of your interior.
