If there’s one crucial lesson the pandemic has taught us, it’s taking care of our mental health and well-being—both of which depend on the quality of our sleep. While it’s true that some facets of our lives are going back to how they used to be—the need for making our homes as comforting, soothing, and personal remains strong more than ever. This sentiment will mirror the upcoming bedroom trends for 2022.
Our bedrooms aren’t mere pitstops where we retreat to for some shut-eye. Instead, they are our pampering havens providing us moments of relaxation and reflection away from the hustle of the rest of the household. The new, post-pandemic world calls for an unfussy, nature-inspired, warm, and playful aesthetic.
Read on to know the bedroom trends that will shape 2022.
Trend #1: Blooming Botanicals
What elegant way to bring the outdoors in than by dressing your bed in fresh botanical prints? From large-scale maximalist-inspired blooms to ditsy florals in Cottagecore style to moody tropical fronds to underwater foliage, botanicals will be ruling the bedroom interior scene in 2022.
Botanical patterns—whether stylised or life-like inject a sense of wonder and whimsy into the interiors. The best part of incorporating them through bedding and other accessories is the easy switchability as the season or mood changes.
Trend #2: Calming Earthy Hues
With the continued popularity of Japandi (a mashup of Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetic philosophies), it’s no surprise that neutral colours will be reigning supreme in 2022. Far from the usual beiges and creams—the palette next year will see dynamic and diverse shades that can blend in with any interior style under the sun.
Think mellow, cosy tones like muted terracotta, rosewood, griege, olive, mustard, dusty pink, etc., which will bring in warmth during the winters and coolness during the summers.
Trend #3: Striking Stripes
While stripes are seasonless and timeless—and technically out of the fickle loop of trends—in 2022, however, they are officially making a comeback. In addition to prettifying interiors, stripes—when incorporated strategically, can elongate a room, bring a sense of structure, and, more importantly—work well in both maximal and minimal settings.
If you want to add an instant focal point in your bedroom, look no further than bold striped bedding in vibrant colours. Likewise, if you are looking to create a tasteful, cohesive look—stick to monochromatic hues in narrow pinstripes.
Trend #4: Bold Bursts of Colours
Another welcome change trend forecasters predict to see in 2022 and beyond is the infusion of bold bursts of colours in bedrooms. This means that design enthusiasts won’t be shying away from introducing saturated pops in their restful sanctuaries—be it through decor accents, bed linen or soft furnishings.
Experts stipulate shades of red to be particularly popular in the coming months. However, with the emergence of warm neutrals, which get their cocooning appeal from the addition of red undertones—it’s clear that the primary hue is here to stay.
The beauty of red lies in its versatility–on the one end, it can be bright and vintage and on the other, restrained and earthy. So, you are at liberty to use it however you want to—depending on your style and scheme.
Trend #5: Harmonious Pattern Play
There is no rule set in stone for mixing and matching patterns. With that being said—if you want to work up a fail-safe, eye-catching interplay of patterns without causing too much of a jarring/distracting effect—it’s best to opt for diverse prints in harmonious or monochromatic shades.
Stripes, primarily, are known to work well with florals, and folksy patterns like Ikat, Suzani, block prints, et al. The goal here is to design a well-edited, put-together ensemble that looks work with each other rather than warring for attention.
