Hip Hip Hooray!! It’s a new year and to welcome in 2022 we’re looking at the design trends forecast for the year ahead!
With every new year there is a promise of fresh starts with new opportunities and new to-do lists! But achieving a trendy new home decor should definitely be the first thing on your list!
Start with the biggest predicted trend of the year:
Natural Materials
Going against the grain and rebelling against non-sustainable material is one of the mot positive design trends for 2022! The world of interiors is championing long-lasting bespoke furniture that creates spaces that not only live longer. but with a generational appeal so they become investment pieces.
Long Barn Furniture division specializes in bespoke cabinet making using traditional techniques to bring your designs to life! Our handmade furniture for kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices, and commercial premises is custom designed to suit your lifestyle.
Natural Lighting
Last year we had the pleasure of undertaking this bespoke commission for a home office suite finished in Farrow and Ball Hague Blue for the CEO of a global company. The room was completely redesigned to take advantage of the floor-to-ceiling windows and the abundance of natural light - allowing the room to become a calm, uncluttered and comfortable working space.
Bespoke Bookshelves
Down to Earth
The trend for bringing the outdoors in was enhanced by the pandemic - it taught us the value of nature and how much we all need it as part of our overall well-being. Using natural wood in your home will bring a relaxing mood to your sanctuary away from the busy hustle and bustle of daily life. Wood has magnificent earthy hues which can be enhanced with stains and waxes to show off its natural grain. Wood also brings texture to your home - often our bespoke furniture is described as a ‘work of art’, which is always a great compliment to receive and our clients also admire how it enhances the personality of their home.
