Top Interior Design Trends for 2022
After spending the greater part of the past two years indoors, it’s no surprise that many of us are looking to refresh our homes with a new look and feel. And if you’re looking for inspiration, there’s no better source than the latest interior design trends for 2022 in Australia.
This year’s design trends are all about creating balance, evoking nostalgia and sparking joy. Eye-catching colours, patterns, and details are hallmarks of the latest interior styles, as we seek to infuse our homes with a sense of optimism for the future.
If you’re looking to redecorate your home or spruce up your existing style, these 2022 interior design trends should be at the top of your list.
Relaxed Mediterranean
The quintessential Coastal Getaway is about as Aussie as it gets — but there’s a new look on the block, and it’s inspired straight from the sweeping cliff top homes perched above the Mediterranean Sea.
The beloved Mediterranean style is always a hit in interior design, but this year the classic look has undergone a makeover and emerged fresher and more vibrant than ever. The white-on-white palette now comes with splashes of bold colours, from the papaya and lemon hues of seaside homes in Positano to the rich cyans of the Greek Islands. Complete the look with a textured finish on the walls using plaster or stucco.

Seas the day: The Long Beach will whisk you away to the Amalfi Coast with its gorgeous textured ivory fabric and contemporary design details. Splurge on the corner sofa for cloud-like comfort that will make you feel like you’re on holiday, every day.
Gelato Pastels
Change in seasons got you down? We have the solution: brighten up your home this winter with gelato pastels that look good enough to eat.
When it comes to interior colour trends, 2022 doesn’t disappoint. With carefree and joyful hues such as apricot pink and Veri Peri, Pantone’s Colour of the Year, these shades add a much-needed energy boost to any space.
Not a fan of retro pastels? Earthy tones, such as clay, terracotta, moss, burgundy and gold, ground a room and add a sense of calm, particularly as we move into the cooler months. Complement these tones with a base palette of soft white, coral and cream.
Fall in love: The Autumn Swivel Accent Chair is the perfect way to bring a pop of colour into your home. With a variety of shades, from mustard to peacock velvet, there’s an option for every space and style.
Structured Style
Structured style is a love letter to clean lines, geometric shapes, and functional design. Combining industrial post-modern and mid-century style, this interior design trend demonstrates complexity in simplicity with deliberate design choices and just a hint of texture.
Despite its structured approach, we love this trend thanks to its versatility. Pair timber textures with velvet for old-world charm, or take a contemporary approach by mixing monochrome and metallics and a hint of timber. Incorporate furniture with powdered metallic legs for a sleek modern aesthetic, or shape your space with the curves of a coffee table and an arc lamp. With structured style, how you structure your home is entirely up to you!
The goddess of style: Whether it’s a slimline console table or a round coffee table, the Venus range is the embodiment of structured style. Each item adds an instant wow factor to your space, thanks to a gorgeous geometric frame and luxe Carrera marble top.
Go Big or Go Home
Less isn’t more — at least, not anymore! In a stark departure from previous years, 2022 has heralded the return of maximalism and with it, a return to the vibrant styles of the ‘70s and ‘80s.
If you’re not ready to adorn your home with groovy floral wallpaper and matching wall-carpet-sofa combinations, don’t worry: the 2022 edition of this look is far more refined than its predecessors. This revival on maximalism is about making a statement with standout pieces, unexpected colour harmonies, or clashing patterns.
You can go as big as you like with patterns and textures: think bone inlay pieces mixed with rattan, floral prints matched with checks, or boucle with timber.
A handcrafted masterpiece: The Cleo Bone Inlay Chest of Drawers is a masterful example of the maximalist look in action. Each piece is handcrafted by artisans with intricate details that make a room pop.
