INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS FOR 2022 – VINTAGE, BABY 

What's old is new again. Pretty much everyone has said at one time or another. This thought must have been taken to heart this year because vintage looks are back in a big True Fashionista way.  "With shortages popping up in supply chains and the significant increase of focus on the environment, I think the celebration of one-of-a-kind finds will be an increasingly important trend in the new year," predicts Next Wave designer Sara Hillery for HouseBeautiful.com. "Not only are vintage finds a greener choice for design with upcycling, but they are also laden with unique details that are expensive to re-create." 

Vintage styles are also a surefire way to add personality and uniqueness to one's space. Take a look around the accents/accessories division of True Fashionistas, Florida's largest designer resale, and consignment store, and discover a multitude of styles and ideas for your vintage upcycling. 

INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS FOR 2022 – COLOR ACCENTS 

Black is trending as a favored accent color this year and a great way to add depth and edge to more minimalist spaces. Interior designer Channa Alvarez sees black accents such as lamps that can help to accentuate an area and add interesting depth happening for 2022. Options as simplistic as swapping lighter colored handles and drawer pulls for black ones will add a pop of contrast to a space she offers.  

Jewel-toned greens and terracotta pinks are also hot colors in interior design for 2022. "In the shift to endemic living with COVID, the home needs to be a more soothing place than ever," says M+A Architects Interior Designer Abbey Hunter.  The green hues signal safety to the brain, while deep points in muted palettes radiate warmth and comfort, all basic needs we could use in large amounts these days. While these greens show up quite often in the True Fashionistas collection, let's say pink is our JAM. Just look at our logo for the best designer consignment store, True Fashionistas!  

Neutrals are consistently in style, but they're all the rage this year. Grays, beiges, whites, and browns with warm or rich undertones are True Fashionista shades in 2022 with which to create a peaceful environment in the home. "Whether it is furniture itself or decorative elements, nature-inspired colors and textures will become more prevalent, such as blues, greens, rich/deep reds, and grounded earth tones, as well as organic, natural shapes that add interest," says Anna Franklin, interior designer and founder of Stone House Collective (courtesy of The Spruce.com).  

INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS FOR 2022 – NATURE INDOORS 

Call it a living wall, vertical garden, or biophilic design, we love inviting nature indoors, and it continues to be a hot trend this year. Along with natural lighting and ventilation, incorporating plants into your home décor will create a visual connection with nature. From potted trees on the floor, hanging plants, and those placed in True Fashionista vases, plants help purify the indoor air. Plant-focused décor is another way to add to the plant themes for more healthy living in 2022.  

Lisa White, creative director at world trend authority WGSN, points to the rise of the indoor tree in interior design trends, especially lemon and olive trees in large pots. "Homegrown plant propagation is becoming more popular, and manufacturers are capitalizing on this by introducing new devices that enable different plant species to flourish inside, like miniature greenhouses modeled on classical designs," White says. "The contemporary conservatory is a look that will be trending, whether creating an all-over garden-inspired room with patterned wallpaper and wicker furniture or simply styling a conservatory corner in a sunny location in the home." What a True Fashionista idea, bringing a bit of southwest Florida into your home! 

While we're discussing plants… 

INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS FOR 2022 – VASES
