The COVID-19 pandemic changed residents’ priorities. The aesthetic aspect continues to assume a prominent position in high-end housing , but functionality has acquired a very significant weight.
Discover, in this article, some of the interior design trends for 2022.
Decorating a luxury home: 6 trends to consider
1. Minimalist decor
Minimalism is not exactly new this year . The less is more philosophy for decorating a luxury home has been gaining more and more followers.
The minimalist approach to interior design translates, fundamentally, into spaces that favor organization and fluidity in decoration. It is a celebration of simplicity, which removes unnecessary elements from rooms, leaving those that are essential for their functionality.
The elegance and quality of materials are present in the minimalist decoration , as is the pleasant combination between straight and curved lines. At a chromatic level, neutral tones are always a winning bet.
2. The feeling of comfort
Comfort is one of the watchwords used today in the decoration of luxury homes . For this reason, the furniture and other contents of the property (upholstery fabrics, curtains and cushions, for example) should reflect a welcoming nature.
However, a balance must be maintained. All these elements cannot appear in excess in the decoration, following the minimalist line.
In terms of lighting, you must create conditions to maximize the penetration of natural light into spaces, to the detriment of artificial light.
3. Materials of unquestionable quality
High quality materials are a mandatory condition for decorating a luxury home . The use of natural materials such as marble and wood from a complementary perspective, noble coverings and glazed elements are a constant.
4. The versatility of the spaces
The pandemic forced society to spend much of its time indoors. Routines were changed, such as going to work or school. These activities, for some time, began to be carried out at home.
This paradigm shift had an effect on the configuration of houses, rooms and furniture. Therefore, the versatility of interior spaces, adaptable to multiple functionalities, is today a feature that is extremely appreciated by residents.
5. Convergence between divisions
It is essential that the different rooms of a luxury property are perfectly connected to each other, stimulating their dynamism.
As a consequence, large socialization spaces will emerge, characterized by clear lines of sight, lots of light and the promotion of air circulation.
6. The appreciation of outdoor spaces
Outdoor spaces are an important branch of the interior of the house, and continuity must be created between them. Given the constraints imposed by the pandemic situation, the outdoor spaces of luxury homes have gained increased attention.
It is essential that these spaces – such as terraces, gardens or balconies – have large dimensions and are well used for complete enjoyment, providing a comfortable and elegant environment.
