People want to celebrate and bring joy into their homes. What better way than with fun colors and prints?’

Tisha Domingo, interior expert and CMO of lighting company Brightech, says: ‘Spring home decor trends in 2022 are focused on mixing materials, high-tech decor, and curved furniture. Mixing materials speaks to the desire of wanting to have that unique piece no one else has, and it is done through mixing woods, metals, glass, etc. This can be seen as one piece, or this can be done by pairing multiple items in a room. High-tech decor is all about design evolving with technology. New technology creates a futuristic space. Curved pieces in both architecture and furniture are something our brains naturally love. This creates a signal of safety and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.’

2022 interiors are continuing to go big on texture, with an abundance of natural materials adding layers of organic tactility to multifunctional living spaces. Even walls and furniture are getting touchy-feely, with 3D wall paneling ideas for an added dimension.
Jen and Mar, founders, Interior Fox, say: ‘2021 paved the way for softer and more naturalistic interior trends, with an abundance of rattan and cane furniture, ceramics and linen elements dotted across the home. All sitting against a backdrop of texture wall techniques such as lime wash or micro-cement. We see this trend continuing into 2022 for a look that adds a sense of stripped-back ease whilst making a strong yet understated design trend.’
Julian Page, head of design at BHS lighting, says: ‘Bringing the outside in continues to be one of the biggest homewares trends of 2022, and with materials such as rattan and bamboo, you’re able to bring these natural materials and textures into the home.’
Interiors are focusing on creating a space that connects us to nature. Clean lines, layered textures and muted, dusky colors are combined to blend the boundaries between indoor outdoor living spaces, creating a holistic place to soothe the mind and invite quiet contemplation and relaxed conversation.
Subtle tones of chalky aqua and soft grays embrace an airy openness, while natural textures enhance the botanical greenery of indoor gardens and living walls. A deeper green grounds the palette adding depth and definition. The result is a calming space to appreciate nature and boost our wellbeing with interior hacks to improve mental health.
Kathryn Lloyd, color consultant, Crown, says: ‘An appreciation of the natural world, Liminal showcases modern minimalism, with beautifully crafted furnishings and a quiet palette of neutral tonal color. Homeowners are now wisely considering exactly what they place in a room, so much so that a space becomes carefully curated. The result is a retreat consisting of dry, chalky, comforting textures and single use, easy on the eye, color.’
Jane Rockett, Co-founder of Rockett St George, says: ‘Renowned for its natural connection and ability to create enduring calm, our key trend for 2022 and beyond, calls in the power of healing greens. Evoking memories of deep forests, moss covered trees and new leaves; green is the color of the great outdoors and when introduced to the home reveals a feeling of energy, new life and opportunity. As one of the most versatile colours to decorate with and weave throughout your interior, our love affair with green continues to grow as we look for new and exciting ways to bring nature indoors. From sumptuous sofas to glassware, ceramics and cozy accessories, green is fast becoming the new black.’

Wander ‘off-grid’ to a playful aesthetic, and introduce pattern into your home with graphic checkerboard patterns and stripes in colorful contrasts, across painted floor ideas, walls and everything in between!
Forget the safe plain-plaid, this season checks and stripes are bigger, brighter and bolder than ever before. Cheerfully hot-trotted from the catwalk into happy homes, this rustic-ruffled pattern comes freshly delivered with a breezy, mischievous attitude – giving upholstery and everyday homeware a cheerful dollop of whimsical wholesomeness. Generational in appeal, and charming the socks off city and country dwellers alike, chirpy-checks tick all the new-nostalgia ‘boxes’.
Jon Flannigan, product manager at Kersaint Cobb, says: ‘Stripes! ‘Stripes are a key trend in interiors with many working with a variety of materials to create inviting room schemes. Light colors and stripes are particularly effective in narrow hallways. Soft, pale-colored flooring brightens up a small area, creating the illusion of space and giving a light, airy look. Stripes add visual interest to the floor and for those tight on space, it is worth remembering that linear stripes can help to enlarge the appearance of a room, this is especially effective in hallways as the stripe draws the eye along the design and thus appears to elongate the area. Striped flooring is also ideal in high traffic areas as it will withstand the effects of dirt and wear better than plain and flat single color flooring.’
Anna Cross, Buying Manager, Habitat, says: ‘Filtering across from the fashion sphere, gingham is the print of the moment. What started as a must-have for picnic blankets and tablecloths, is now popular across tableware and home accessories. We’ve included new designs on both grand and small scales: try as a statement bedlinen if you’re feeling bold or opt for a simple printed ceramic vase for a more subtle approach.’

Can you call it a waterfall if the water isn’t falling? We vote yes, and believe winter to be the coolest — see what we did there? — time to check out these frozen-over cascades. (Waterstill just doesn’t have the same ring to it.) In fact, waterfalls might be at their peak majesty when iced over and draped in newly fallen snow, creating a scene straight out of Arendelle or Narnia or some other idyllic, frosted land that isn’t in a children’s movie.
Hanging Lake may be the first spot you think of for impressive, wintry frozen falling water, but the Grizzly Creek fire burned areas above the trail and the lake, prompting White River National Forest Service officials to close the trail due to safety concerns. No reopening date has been announced.
Luckily, Colorado is full of falls. Here are nine frozen cascades sure to stun and inspire. All you need are warm clothes, common sense — some trails will be icy; some will be difficult to follow — and a spirit for adventure.
