What are the interior design trends on the island in 2022? An overview
.First things first: next year, homeowners will continue to attach more or less importance to a cozy, attractive and comfortable interior for their four walls. This has not changed since the beginning of human history. However, the shape, color and materials of furniture or the furnishings of living rooms are different. Like clothing, they are subject to annually changing fashion trends.
Multi-zone mattresses for individual comfortFor example in bed. "The trend here is clearly towards individual ergonomic mattresses", says Toni Molina, Managing Director of the furniture retailer "BEDs", which specializes in high-quality beds and mattresses and has a large showroom in Palma. "Among customers, so-called zone mattresses are becoming increasingly attractive," says Molina. The mattress is divided into different lying zones through the use of materials with different firmnesses and special incisions in the mattress core or by means of alternating surface profiling. "The respective firmness of the individual zones can also be individually adjusted," explains Molina. In modern multi-zone mattresses, special covers also support their function. This is usually achieved through the different designs of the quilting.
Also on trend are double mattresses, which are actually no longer mattresses. Men and women have different requirements in terms of the hardness or softness of the sleeping surface due to their height and weight. For this reason, modern double mattresses nowadays consist of two differently profiled halves. And this is playing an increasingly important role in the purchasing decision.Today, mattresses are no longer a simple sleeping surface; for many people, they are an elementary piece of furniture. Due to the many individually customizable designs, it is advisable to seek comprehensive advice before making a purchase," says Toni Molina. This is certainly another trend that is likely to catch on in the coming year.
Expert advice is certainly also recommended when buying a new-build kitchen. The best example of how diverse the options can now be in terms of color, materials and equipment of modern kitchens is the company Nolte Küchen with its two Mallorca branches, the Home Studio in Manacor and another branch in Santa Ponsa. As has been the case for years, the trend in kitchens is towards individualization. For this reason, Nolte kitchens can be put together "a gusto" in terms of colors, fronts and shape.
Stainless steel instead of plastic in the kitchen
At the last "Küchenmeile", Germany's largest trade fair forükitchenfurnishings, flexible hüngesystems for utensils at the kitchen were also presented;kitchen wall, stainless steel sinks and fittings instead of plastic, as well as discreet LED lighting systems for cabinets and display cabinets were outed as the latest trends for 2022. In terms of color schemes, green and blue seem to be back in fashion in the kitchen alongside classic black.
The return to minimalism
In general, the trend in home and apartment furnishings seems to be moving back towards minimalism. Motto: less is more. At least that's what the industry gurus want to know. Experts also predict that the topic of sustainability will have a greater influence on home design in the coming year than in the past. Plastic items will give way to traditional, natural materials such as wood, cotton or stone.
Reason: "They not only create a feeling of comfort and coziness, but also meet the contemporary demand for environmentally conscious living," writes Germany's largest trade magazine "Schöner Wohnen", for example. Home accessories made from linen, rattan, wool and jute are fitting examples of this.
Interplay of technology and tradition
Another trend for the furnishing industry in 2022 is the increased interplay between innovation and traditional craftsmanship. Smart home technology continues to conquer living spaces. Rustic tables, cabinets and chairs are by no means outdated. On the contrary.
Clear lines and geometric patterns - whether on bed linen, the floor or as wall decoration - are also currently in vogue. The same applies to furniture and accessories made of velvet fabric, which are intended to provide an extra dose of cosiness in your own four walls, especially in times of coronavirus.
What, please, is "Japandi"?
The latest trend from housing researchers is also "Japandi". The word is a combination of the Scandinavian and Japanese styles of living. Both are symbolic of the minimalism mentioned at the beginning. In practice, "Japandi" consists of light and soft beige colors in combination with dark woods or paper elements from the Far East.
Conclusion: Despite all the trend forecasts for home furnishings, your own individual taste and comfort requirements are still decisive when choosing furniture and accessories. In the case of beds and kitchens, it is always advisable to seek detailed advice from a specialist company on the island, as the variety of individual design options is almost unmanageable.
