At the international trade fair for household goods and home decor Maison & Objet 2022, designers presented trendy wall colors and current color schemes. This year's edition took place in March for the first time this year. It had been postponed from its usual date in January due to COVID-19 restrictions. Here are some of the key trends and latest tendencies that will shape future interior design.
Stylish and trendy wall colors for interior decoration
According to interior design experts at the show, four color palettes will be quite popular both this year and in 2023. Move away from uniform and monochrome decorsCombinations of contrasting shadesFun in the interiors.
Trendy colors inspired by pop culture
The first palette that caught the eye at Maison & Objet was undoubtedly inspired by pop culture. This is about oneWave of nostalgia, which takes people back to the 70s and 80s. This has covered decor, furniture and a variety of surfaces. The yellow color palette, for example, is easy to recognize and dares to use bright and harsh colors. Yellow, which has been somewhat forgotten in recent years, is clearly making a comeback with sunny, almost fluorescent tones. Pop style is also famous for playing on contrasts and bold combinations of vibrant colors. Therefore, yellow, no matter how bright it may be, is easily combined with shades as present and pronounced as Klein or Electric Blue.
Blood red or blue red also boldly enters this color palette and becomes one of the protagonists of contrasts in interior design. After initially appearing tentatively at the September 2021 edition of Maison & Objet, it is now in this year'sColor combinations for wallsclearly present.
Color decorations, furniture and trendy wall colors inspired by mauve also characterize this year's interior design style.Pantone chose Very Peri in 2022, an evergreen with a purple undertone, the color of the year. However, mauve trends are also increasingly present in current collections. Never used alone, such color palettes also mix well with other vibrant hues like orange or yellow to create pop decor worthy of the name.
Nostalgia for the '70s has already surfaced in this pop color palette, but it's even more evident in compositions that mix khaki and burnt orange. The latter creates a persistent retro ambience associated with vintage furniture and iconic design pieces. Also notable is the way these shades are combined in geometric color blocks with simple outlines.
Pastel colors as trendy wall colors for the interior
Trend monitoring experts said in relation to the trade fair that it will take place from theSpring season an increase in pastel colorswill give. This trend starts from mauve colors and extends to the violet spectrum. In addition, the forays through the design fair this year confirm the strong presence of pastel tones. Purple is also all over the new products on stands this year, like a springtime iteration of the aforementioned mallow. It is also still used in contrasting color palettes alongside pink and pastel yellow, although this time the combinations look much softer.
Pink tones and purple also go perfectly with all shades of green, such as celadon green, lime green and sage green. Accordingly, these are some trendy wall colors that belong to this color spectrum. The French favorite par excellence, blue, obviously also works to calm the pastel color palette even more. However, at the Maison & Objet 2022 design fair, this color was mainly seen in icy shades such as sky blue.
Choose natural colors for interior design
Not surprisingly, most people are still drawn to nature. Additionally, botanical and earthy tones remain among the most requested color palettes in interior design, as manufacturers clearly know.
For example, ocher and terracotta are popular and trendy wall colors that are characterized by combinations of earth tones. Accordingly, various ocher or terracotta tones have been among the favorites for interiors for many years.
Khaki tones are also trendy. As natural as this palette may be, it also plays with the contrasts that are so popular this year. Earth tones go perfectly with botanical green tones such as moss, sage, fir and lichen.
As if to soften the combination of contrasts, sand, brown and beige tones fit perfectly between two strong colors. They are the final aspect of the natural color palette. Furthermore, this is a nod to the natural materials that have inspired so much of home decor and interior decoration at the moment. Such color combinations also have a calming effect in dynamic and turbulent times.
Neutral interior color palette
Sophisticated and calming decor in dark colors or neutral materials is currently omnipresent in the design world. It is therefore not surprising that the final color palette to be discovered at the fair consists of neutral and pleasant tones, suitable for a timeless ambience.
White was therefore more present this year than in the last editions of Maison & Objet. Combined with other neutral tones or in blocks next to bright colors, designers have widely used the white color in the new collections.
The natural colors such as eggshell colors are noticed as another spectrum around ecru alongside white. These shades can add a little more depth to elegant decors. Such a neutral color palette also works well as a basis for natural materials and fibers.
