Even though it still feels like summer here in the Memphis Metro Area, fall will quickly start to creep in North Mississippi and Arkansas for sure. With kids heading back to school and the changing of seasonal displays popping up in stores to call on Labor Day, Halloween, and the cooler temperatures of autumn; it’s starting to get closer to when the seasons change and cooler weather returns. This is also the time when The Tub Pros help their clients prepare for the upcoming fall season events and holidays.
It’s not just schools and stores getting ready for fall, either—designers are already starting to make predictions about the trends and styles that will take precedence in the next few months, including what is coming up for design trends in 2023. While it still feels like summer, the concepts, colors, and styles that will shape the trends of the next months are becoming apparent and have been predicted and set.
Here, we’ll break down what predictions are out there, and how The Tub Pros can make your home dreams come true, no matter what’s on trend for the rest of 2022.
Why are fall design trends different from summer trends?
Trends change drastically over time. Think about a 1980s home—floral wallpaper, bright-colored cabinets, and laminate flooring. Then, think about a stylish modern home—with white subway tile, more natural colors, and granite or marble countertops. The difference between these two styles seems glaring—but that change didn’t happen overnight.
Designs change gradually, with lots of small changes adding up to bigger ones over time. After the COVID-19 pandemic changed how people use their homes and then changed what people wanted from their homes—a connection to nature and separate rooms rather than an open floor plan, for example—those new needs have trickled down and influenced design in a wide variety of ways, some of which are still taking shape.
For example, as natural elements in the home have become more important in open spaces, the ways that designs meet that need also change. Today, the principle of natural elements and wellness influence the colors and materials that have become popular. So while arches are gaining popularity in 2022 because of the natural shape, it’s reflecting the same interest in natural shapes, colors, and connections—that particular trend is just gaining enough traction that it’s becoming more noticeable in the trending, mainstream style.
What colors and styles are trending in 2022?
The after-effects of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic are continuing to shape design in many homes in 2022. The pandemic made people reconsider how their homes worked for them, and led people to think of their homes as a place of safety, a retreat from the world—and homes started to be rearranged to accommodate at-home workspaces. Twice as many functional needs presented themselves when the pandemic lockdown began. This was a shock to how people used their spaces, now they needed to accommodate many more needs than before. People scrambled to make their space act as multi-use pods, stretching function and versatility.
The changes that started to take shape in 2022—as homes continue to be refuges and places of relaxation and calmness, and spaces that reflect the people living in them—will continue to be popular through the rest of the year and into 2023. Designated office space and homework space for kids are continuing to be popular, and multipurpose spaces—like rooms for work and exercise, or office spaces in main living rooms—are also gaining popularity, as people need to become more creative with their spaces to make them work in a variety of ways. A home is no longer “a crash pad” just to sleep.
This need for creativity extends to creating personalized rooms—vibrant statement walls, cozy materials, and bold, bright colors (from neon to 1970s throwbacks) are all continuing to be popular as people want their home to inspire and reflect who they are.
Colors reflecting nature, like blues and greens, remain popular, too. This extends to bold purples, yellows, oranges, and pinks, including calming grays or dramatic blacks and whites.
What other trends might I notice?
Along with the importance of nature, sustainability is increasing in importance for many designers. Valuing smaller spaces, repurposed or vintage furniture, and increased intentionality, along with reducing clutter, are becoming more important. Along with these, smart devices—including appliances—will continue to gain popularity, as integrated technology that makes people’s lives easier makes its way to the market.
What’s going out of style?
In past years, extreme minimalism—with glossy white surfaces, and rooms only in whites and muted neutrals—is no longer the main on-trend style. It is now seen as clinical and sterile. Extreme minimalism is waning and being passed over and refreshed with an air of nature. At the other end of the spectrum are the maximalist homes. With the showy bright-colored styles of 2022 and 2023, there is an emphasis on wellness and being intentional—selecting items for a purpose, rather than allowing clutter to pile up. Additional emphasis on wellness and nature, minimalism isn’t gone—it’s appearing in different ways.
Modern farmhouse style—like barn doors and Buffalo plaid—might also fade into the background. Industrial décor probably won’t get as much attention, either, and faux-distressed materials are out, in favor of real vintage materials.
