The beauty of furniture trends (as opposed to fickle clothing fashion) is their durability. If you understand the trends and buy furniture now, you can be sure that it will be relevant 10 years later. In essence, new trends are a reflection of the reality around us. To keep up with the times and not buy outdated models, it is useful to follow news from the world of design. Experts Ekaterina Ershova and Yana Shamova, founders of the online service Deconly (@deconly_official), will talk about the main trends.
Natural colors
Colors are closely related to our emotions and mood. Thus, natural shades help create a warm, relaxed environment. Therefore, in 2022 there will be a growing demand for interiors in muted colors: beige, gray, brown, green. If cold shades are used, they are often diluted with warm ones.
Smooth lines
The interior ceases to be angular, smooth and rounded shapes appear. There is not enough calm in the world, designers subtly sense this and restore balance with the help of soft lines in the interior. This creates a safe space that calms our mind.

Thanks to interesting techniques, you can achieve individuality and uniqueness of the room, add some zest and originality to it.
If you find a good design specialist, he will definitely offer various interesting methods. Although you may have to pay extra for individuality, it’s worth it, believe me. After all, the point of drawing up a personal project is to ensure that no one else has a second apartment like this.
There are a lot of designers who create their projects in strict accordance with the customer’s conditions. But there are also those who will convince you to use only natural materials in decorating your home until the very end. They will find an inexpensive and high-quality natural replacement for laminate, plastic and film.
Don't skimp on quality plumbing fixtures. Today, the quality of tap water leaves much to be desired, so faucets and pipes deteriorate much faster. Yes, you can buy a cheap faucet, but in any case it will become unusable in a year and a half. You will not only have to buy a new one, but also pay for its installation again.
Why complicate your life? In addition, high-quality plumbing fixtures look much more aesthetically pleasing than Chinese “miracles of technical thought.” Pay attention to the presence of marks about water supply inputs and outputs, electrical sockets and switches in the design project of the room.
Do not forget to ensure that the washing machine, electric towel dryer and other electrical appliances have personal wires that are not connected to sockets. This way you will not only bring the premises into compliance with fire safety rules, but also remove the load from the electrical network.
An interior designer's abilities can be tested by designing small rooms. After all, the smaller the space, the more difficult it is to distribute the space rationally and ergonomically. For example, a room of 60 square meters is a real test for designers.
Of course, placing a spacious dressing room or office in limited square meters is very difficult, and sometimes even impossible. But the designer is obliged to find the right solution when organizing space (for example, a place for a bedroom with a spacious bed).
Sleeping on a fold-out sofa is not only uncomfortable, but also not very good for your health. No sofa cushion filler can replace a full-fledged mattress with an orthopedic effect.
We are all familiar with the image of a room with light walls, parquet flooring, cherry furniture and classic curtains. This set has been tested for years, is safe and absolutely boring. We want to tell you about some unwritten rules that should be discarded. Down with boring and hackneyed interior clichés! Let's break the rules!
Advice! If the rooms in the apartment are small, they definitely need to be decorated in light colors. A Scandinavian-style interior will be the right solution.
It is believed that light colors make a room feel more spacious. This is partly true, but it does not always work. If you want to make the interior of 2022 more comfortable, then choose dark shades in tandem with white. This design will dissolve the boundaries of the room, and they will become invisible. You will get the “box room” effect.
The white tone is firmly entrenched in the decoration of ceilings; many do not even think about choosing another option. But this is the widest field for your imagination. Let your ceiling differ in color from the walls by several tones.
If you are afraid to use radically saturated paints, then simply tint the surface slightly with the desired color. Be sure to use this idea. The Internet is replete with photographs of various interiors with colored ceilings.
Advice! Small rooms are well suited to beautiful wallpaper with small patterns; for large areas large patterns will be more appropriate.
Of course, sweeping patterns on wallpaper do not help to visually increase the space, but they enliven the room, filling it with colors and joy. Modern prints on wallpaper can make it a true decoration of the room. If you are still afraid to cover your bedroom with painted patterns, then experiment with the design of the bathroom.
The presence of a chandelier is a must
The chandelier located in the center of the room has become an invariable attribute of any apartment. Not a single room in the house is complete without the “king-lamp”. But the presence of a central lighting device is not at all appropriate everywhere.
Take, for example, the interior design of a bedroom. Here you will most likely need spotlights located around the perimeter and near the bed. Their diffused light will relax, create a feeling of comfort and peace.
Only small furniture is suitable for small rooms
- If the number of square meters of your room is small, this does not mean that you should forget about a comfortable sofa and huddle on an uncomfortable ottoman. By the way, not everyone knows that just one massive piece of furniture can expand the boundaries of a room.
- If you use large-sized furniture, then the decor should be calm and uncluttered with small details. Small objects in large quantities will create a feeling of cramping in the room.
Advice! You should not mix classic and modern things in one room. On the contrary, you need to harmoniously combine different styles with each other in order to end up with a fashionable and stylish interior for 2022 that is pleasing to the eye.
Monochrome interior – fashion trend of 2022
You have decided to buy a beige furniture set. Perfect solution! But this is not a reason to decorate the entire room in color with the furniture and make everything around it beige and cream. Use contrasting colors, make accents, liven up the room!
The choice of color combinations is simply huge, don't be afraid to experiment. Avoid monochromatic interiors.
Current color combination for the 2022 season
- The ocher color is gaining great recognition, occupying the niche of the beige tone, gradually becoming neutral, that is, compatible with any shades.
- At the peak of popularity, noble gray is a favorite companion to olive tones. Its main role is to combine the various textures present in the room. For example, it can be used to easily play up the fur upholstery of ottomans in combination with the satin finish of the sofa, the natural linen from which the curtains are made, and the leather covering of the armchairs. For this, completely different shades of gray are used, ranging from rich graphite to smoky beige. As a result, the entire composition looks holistic and complete, having its own individual character and mood.

It is absolutely not necessary to use flashy shades as accents. If you are a lover of calm interiors, then add muted color combinations. Instead of a colorful rug, use a beautiful bouquet in a flowerpot or a flower on the nightstand.
Should the patterns be identical? A floral print on the wallpaper does not mean at all that chairs and curtains should have flowers. You can combine stripes and floral patterns. True, this is not an easy task.
If you are a beginner designer, it is better to start with a combination of different patterns in a single color palette. Don't try to combine a contrasting color and pattern at the same time.
On a note! For those who have decided on such experiments, we advise: organize a rest area for vision. To do this, you can leave one of the walls plain.
Selection of finishing materials
Interior design 2022 does not impose its own strict rules. Many people mistakenly believe that only homogeneous materials should be used when decorating walls, floors and even ceilings. This rule can be safely broken. The contrast of textures and materials looks simply great in any interior.
Do not think that a wooden wardrobe or regular wardrobe must be made from the same wood as the table or parquet board. This rule also applies to the use of metal surfaces. Combine chrome with silver and bronze. You should not match photo frames to the material of the coffee table.
The second misconception is that there should be identical chairs around the dining table. If you are a fan of nineteenth-century interiors, then this rule is for you. But modern designers advise diluting the furniture and placing chairs of different formats at the dining table.
In the interior design of 2022, you can use covers with different prints or colors. This will ensure the unity of the set with a variety of color motifs.
Floral prints
The decoration of upholstered furniture also has a natural theme: ornaments with tropical plants, flowers, fruits and animals. This decision takes us to warm days, into an atmosphere of celebration and relaxation, which we often lack in everyday life. And the fresh green color gives you a good mood, relieves irritability and energizes you. By the way, green is one of those colors that will last in the interior for a long time.

examples of high fashion furniture
What are the latest furniture trends and how are they applied in the world of high fashion? Every year, furniture couturiers present original design projects:
- “Vershina” is an outlandish sofa, the back of which is made in the shape of a mountain, and in the place for the seat there is a “waterfall”.
- A black and white transformable sofa is a soft structure that can double in length and width (to create a sofa, two pairs of pillows are used - rectangular and cylindrical; when the sofa is unfolded, the pillows lie on the floor, and when assembled, the furniture appears in the form of an armchair).
- The “bedside table” is an original design solution by furniture couturiers who came up with the idea of transforming a cabinet (consists of two halves and slats) into the frame of a full-fledged place to sleep (a mattress can easily be placed on it).
- “Servant” is the name of a chair from a Danish designer who decided to combine a chair and a hanger in the product (the back and seat turn into it when folded out).
- “A haute couture chair is a product that only resembles the shape of a chair, in which 60s modernism was mixed with French Rococo.

Soft fabrics
Fabrics are no longer smooth; warm, tactile and plush surfaces are trending. The absolute trend is bouclé. This is a textured fabric consisting of large knots. A soft, cozy cloud where you want to sit and immerse yourself in a serene atmosphere. The surrounding environment influences a person’s state: smooth rounded shapes, soft surfaces, beige color, neutral background - all this sets the mood and relaxes. The designer, astrologer and psychologist told us who would suit a beige interior.
What furniture is currently popular among buyers?
What are the latest furniture trends that are particularly popular? Firstly, frameless options, which do not have a wooden body at all. A special non-crease material is used as a filler for the structures, and the covers in such models are very practical - they can be changed and washed often. Secondly, interior items that save space are the most in demand today:
- furniture for kitchens – functionality and dimensions are the main selection criteria;
- popular cabinet furniture - an abundance of shelves and hidden storage drawers are also an indicator of functionality; Folding tables and sofas with built-in music speakers are relevant, allowing you to save free space;
- Transformable furniture, changing dimensions and appearance, is at the peak of popularity of designs that can be folded, hidden in a closet, or pushed into the wall (folding beds, wardrobe beds, transforming beds).
Human imagination is limitless, including in relation to furniture design. There are many trends today, but the main ones dictate that the environment be comfortable and convenient.
Bold colors
Color is firmly entrenched in our lives, and in 2022 interiors will become even bolder. Against the background of a neutral finish, more bright accents appear: terracotta, mustard, rich green, deep blue. Accents can include furniture, textiles, decor, and art objects. The advantage of this approach is that decorative pillows, curtains or sofa upholstery can be easily replaced, and at the same time change the mood of the space. Such experiments are more relevant now than ever. Another expert also spoke about how to transform an apartment without renovation.
Popular models
If we talk about the popularity of furniture of the latest season, it can be noted that natural materials remain a priority. Current European collections present upholstered furniture in different natural shades, with particular preference this season being given to emerald green. The latest trends also include:
- Upholstered furniture in rich blue colors;
- Products with velvet upholstery;
- Beds with soft headboards;
- Models in “fashionable vintage” style;
- Geometrically strict designs.
However, in addition to rigor, restraint and retro chic, models with bright, flashy prints, patterned and decorated elements remain popular. Products using marble are also popular. It can be found on kitchen countertops, in the bathroom as a washbasin, as interior additions or on a coffee table.
Interesting models combine gloss with matte surfaces. For example, high-quality wood and genuine leather in different contrasting colors. Currently, furniture made from rattan and bamboo is at the peak of popularity. Lightness and practicality are the main features of the material. Sofas, armchairs, cabinets, and kitchen sets are made from it.

Strict forms
Popular furniture models include frameless options. They completely lack a wooden body. To fill the structure, a special non-crease filler is used, and the presence of practical covers allows them to be changed and washed frequently. But the most popular furniture remains the one that can save free space:
- Fashionable kitchen furniture ─ the selection criteria are dimensions and functionality;
- Cabinet furniture ─ functional furniture with many shelves and secret drawers for storing things is in demand. As well as tables and sofas with built-in music speakers that fold up and save free space;
- Transformable furniture ─ the structure folds up, hides in a closet, changes dimensions and appearance ─ this is a bed-wardrobe, a transforming bed, a folding bed.
There are no limits to human imagination. The main thing is that the furniture design should be convenient and comfortable.

Modularity
Restrictions on movement have changed our way of life - now we stay at home more often for remote work and leisure. Therefore, there is a need to change the space to suit the mood and individual characteristics. In modern interiors we see more modular solutions: sofas, storage systems, work tables. Individual modules can be rearranged depending on the situation, and their number can be changed. Thus, a modular sofa with a side table can become a place for a work meeting, checking mail, a cozy breakfast or watching a movie with the family.
In each period of time, popular pieces of furniture can be identified, but at the same time there is a steady trend towards individuality. We recommend using in the interior, first of all, what you personally like. Rules are meant to be broken!
What other trends will be in fashion in a year are described here: 6 beautiful solutions in apartment design that will be popular in 2022.
World trends in furniture production
There are several well-known Western European trend bureaus that analyze the development of interior design and the fashion industry. They can predict trends for the coming year or several years. A team of specialists is working on such forecasts: sociologists, marketers, designers, psychologists. Before making public their assumptions about the latest trends, professionals carefully collect statistics (what is the lifestyle, education, professions of the people included in the study). Based on this information, forecasts of future trend directions are made.
The information received is presented in the form of a trend book to designers and other interested specialists - the collection containing the bureau's conclusions and forecasts clearly demonstrates which styles, colors, styles, basic and auxiliary materials will be in fashion.
Such trend books are useful for creating interesting furniture collections. After all, they contain a lot of ideas that manufacturers can use to be inspired and present interesting surprises to their customers. Even if manufacturing companies do not want to follow any fashion trends, trend setters should not be ignored.
Agree, creating trends is the job of knowledgeable and self-confident professionals who are able to find ideas for creativity, implement them, infect others with their energy and lead them.
International industrial exhibitions of furniture manufacturers, such as iSalone del Mobile, which has been held in the spring in Italy (Milan) for many years, allow you to follow the latest trends.
Those who do not have the opportunity to participate in the Milan exhibition can get acquainted with new furniture collections in the Russian capital in the fall, at iSaloni WorldWide Moscow (a branch of the Italian exhibition). Craftsmen from Italy are particularly responsive to consumer requirements; they pay a lot of attention to studying demand, working with designers from all over the world to implement new ideas in the latest furniture collections. Therefore, there is always something to learn from such professionals.
A deep understanding of market trends in combination with an innate sense of beauty allows Italians to create sought-after collections that are loved by Russian connoisseurs of quality furniture. Our consumers are ready to buy expensive products from Italian craftsmen who anticipate customer desires and create harmonious interior items.
Of course, the branch of the Milan exhibition in Russia cannot surpass the original Italian exhibition, which is so significant that it overshadows other international furniture salons. And it would be wrong to compare iSaloni in Moscow with iSaloni in Milan.
The Moscow exposition, rather, allows aspiring architects and designers to become partially acquainted with the latest trends without traveling to Europe, and to prove themselves on an international platform. The SaloneSatellite competition for young talents is very interesting - here you can meet the real future of industrial design, while the main competition arena showcases famous companies - trendsetters in the furniture industry.
Which of the latest trends in the Russian furniture market deserves special attention? The demands and fastidiousness of customers (to quality, production and delivery times, to price) are growing. And the guidelines and goals of Italian factories have shifted towards the Chinese market and winning the sympathy of its consumers. This affects the level of service for Russian clients (quality is falling, deadlines are not met), who are already becoming disillusioned with European manufacturers.
At the same time, interest in the premium line of goods made in Russia is growing, which allows domestic manufacturers to take positions in the Russian market that the Italians are losing. It is much easier to sell furniture in the mid-price category if you have premium products in your assortment that invariably attract the attention of customers.
Brass fittings
Popular in the last century, brass has once again become a favorite finish in kitchens, bathrooms and more. Metal is a warmer alternative to chrome and nickel hardware. Feel free to choose brass fixtures with a matte or satin finish to soften the palette of your interior. You can mix brass with other metals to add character to the room.

All shades of optimism
The Pantone Color Institute chose the optimistic shade “Very Peri” as the main color of 2022, describing it as: “a dynamic blue with invigorating purple-red notes.”
5 accessories from the Lanskoy shopping center with a spring mood
Our mood directly depends on what surrounds us. We invite you to surround yourself with accessories that make you feel like spring. We have collected the TOP 5 categories of spring decor that can be found in the showrooms of the Lanskoy shopping center.
Pantone experts say that the new shade, combining the stability of blue and the energy of red, is intended to become a symbol of the global zeitgeist, the transition period that the world is going through, and the enormous opportunities opening up before us. And nature again became the ideological inspiration: “Very Peri” conveys the shade of evergreen periwinkle flowers.
It may seem that the choice of color of the year is a whim, dictated by the subjective tastes of Pantone employees. In fact, the institute’s staff conducts an analysis of global sentiment, recording color patterns and preferences, and only based on extensive research does it make a forecast. A Pantone choice is more than just a color; it is a visual distillation of a collective mood.
The selection of Pantone in 2022 confirms: fashionable interiors are ready for rich shades. The world has changed, we began to spend more time at home and we want to see optimistic colors in our living space. Let us remember that last year Pantone also chose a bright shade: the sunny yellow “Illuminating”, although paired with the neutral “Ultimate Grey”.
Other opinion leaders in the field of color are betting on calmer, albeit saturated, shades. This is how the paint and varnish brand Tikkurila named the base red-brown shade “L478 Falcon” as the color of 2022. The migratory bird that inspired the brand is known for always returning home. Representatives of Tikkurila explained such associations with the desire to create a soft and strong shade, at the same time reminiscent of the warmth of home and inspiring travel.
Dulux colorists, in turn, relied on the color “Bright Skies” - an airy shade of blue, which should evoke a feeling of openness and lightness in the soul.
The most beautiful decorative elements in the interior: designers' choice
Below we have taken examples from the interiors of professional interior designers and architects who help us learn about what techniques are now at the height of fashion in apartment design.
Combined floor design is a trendy element of a modern interior
Marble-look porcelain tiles in the wet area, as well as engineered wood/parquet/wood-look porcelain tiles in the living room make an excellent pair.
Printed headboard for bed
Exclusive prints for fabrics in headboard upholstery are less popular than velvet or chenille upholstery, but they look no less luxurious.
Abstract painting
Abstractions can create a special mood in any neoclassical or modern interior.
Photo posters
Photo posters can be both the focal point of the interior and an attractive background option for wall decor.
Acrylic furniture
Plastic acrylic furniture is eclectic, unique and very popular in designer apartments.
Golden design elements in the interior
Brass, copper and gold design elements in the interior will add chic to your living room, kitchen, bathroom or bedroom.
Mirror furniture
Art Deco boasts furniture facades with mirror finishes that look simply stunning.
Marble details
Natural marble and any of its replacements (plastic, porcelain stoneware, Corian) are popular not only in decoration and countertops, but also in decor, sculptures, and utensils (trays, dishes).
Textiles with ombre effect as a fashionable element of interior design
An inspiring interior item will be textiles with an ombre effect, mesmerizing with its transitions in halftones.
Outdoor furniture trends (garden and patio furniture)
Outdoor furniture, unlike home furniture, in 2022 is acquiring increasingly bright and expressive shades. Designers believe that it should stand out against the general background, and not merge with the greenery of trees and lawns. If the furniture was originally purchased in subdued colors, then you can “revive” it with the help of pillows, mattresses and covers in rich rich tones.
The shape of garden furniture should be either emphatically strict or deliberately rounded. These two design directions exist in parallel and provide us with extensive opportunities for experimentation. For example, cube tables and rectangular sofas are very relevant in 2022. However, you can also install a cozy rocking chair in the form of a cocoon on the terrace. It is recommended to give preference to the following options from materials:
- wood - this material is a timeless classic; it looks very attractive and solid and allows you to embody the most unconventional fantasies due to its plasticity and expressive texture; usually tables, chairs and benches are made from wood;
- stone – garden benches made from this material are distinguished by their originality and durability; The flower beds built into them look very original;
- metal - forged tables, chairs and benches will undoubtedly become a real decoration of the personal plot; they are very elegant and at the same time resistant to adverse weather conditions (if they are coated with a special anti-corrosion compound);
- textiles - this material is relevant for soft sofas, chaise lounges, rocking chairs and armchairs.
Whatever material you choose, be sure to make sure that it will provide the furniture with the necessary practicality and attractiveness, and you with the required level of comfort.
