In terms of facades, London is much more heterogenous than the majority of other British towns. When compared with other capitals, however, it seems quite uniform. But behind the walls, things are always changing! As painting and decorating contractors in London, we know it firsthand. Londoners like to introduce changes to their interiors, and we’re there to implement them. Today we’ll dive into the topic of the most popular trends among them in 2022. What is to go, and what is to stay?

#1 Maximalism

For quite a long time, minimalism was the first choice of interior designers and their customers. In the end, it’s practical and convenient – there is less risk that the elements of the interior design will not match after you introduce some changes. But it’s over! Every few years, we fall back in love with maximalism. And this time has come! “Less is more” is no longer a thing. Now we say the more, the better! Maximalism is appreciated for the personal character it provides the space with. Instead of another copy-paste room, you can create something unique without limiting yourself.

What does it mean? Some choose to combine many colors together. In these cases, make sure they are complementary. Others put posters and paintings in various styles together. Note that maximalism is not necessarily eclectic – sometimes, it does not involve mixing different aesthetics.

#2 Juicy colors

Say goodbye to white walls! Together with minimalism, we are starting to forget about the monochromatic interiors, replacing them with colors. Bold color combinations are the most wanted at the moment. Yellow with turquoise, fuchsia with lime, clay with marine blue – all combinations are welcome as long as the colors face each other on the color wheel. By keeping the principles of the color theory, you will keep even the boldest color mixes harmonized.

#3 Leather

In this season, Londoners are back in love with the classics. Leather was evicted from the interior design for quite a while, replaced by textiles and fluffy materials. Now, it’s everywhere again – but in a slightly different form. First of all, cruelty-free leather is the first choice among the clients of decorating contractors in London. It can look as beautiful as natural leather and maintain a similar level of resistance. Leather sofas and armchairs in caramel and clay color are particularly in demand. This season, leather furniture shouldn’t have a solid shape. Metal, thin elements make them look lighter and more modern.

These trends are obviously just a suggestion of the direction you may want to take. The most important thing is to feel comfy and at home. One thing is worth underlining – this season is all about letting your imagination run wild!
