It snuck upon us, but 2022 has arrived, and spring is just around the corner. It’s time to start thinking about decorating your home for the New Year. If you are ready to make an upgrade, give your home a new look, or adapt to a changing household, there are some features you should definitely be looking for while you browse home furniture.
1. Versatility is the order of the day
Everyone wants everything to pull double duty these days. From benches and ottomans with hidden storage to dining tables with extension leaves, the more use you can get out of something the better. You will see this trend throughout the furniture catalogs for every room of the home. The main idea is that every piece of furniture should have a dual purpose. If it doesn’t have a dual purpose, it should be adaptable in some other way.
Don’t forget to also be versatile in how the furniture can be arranged and decorated with the passing of the seasons. If you don’t want to redesign your home every few months, you need to look for furniture items that can be dressed up (or down) with throws, pillows, area rugs, or other interchangeable accessories. If you get furniture that can be stripped and switched out for another color, that is also going to make it easier to keep clean.
2. Stealth tech
What is stealth tech? It is technology built into your furniture, hidden and somewhat ingenious. For example, you can purchase a sectional, sofa, chair, or even nightstand that has a built-in charging surface. Any device that can be charged by touch will work with this technology, and it is found in furniture for every room of the home. While it once seemed like a luxury feature, this is now becoming much more commonplace, and you can find it on select home furniture from 1StopBedrooms.
3. Comfortable minimalism
The minimalism of mid-century modern and contemporary interior design is still at the top of every designer’s list of tricks, it has now taken on a much more comfortable aspect. People are spending more time at home than ever, and even though you still don’t want things to be cluttered your home should still feel lived in and comfortable.
The combination of the modern and shabby chic styles gives you the ability to have a cozy, homey, comfortable place to be while still having the neat and stylish minimalism for when you entertain. It also gives you the ability to take advantage of some of those hidden storage options – there are a lot more than you might think, and if you have a small place this is the perfect solution.
Overall, the most popular home furniture for this year will be about adapting everything to a new remotely connected normal. You can also look at some things that you might not have considered as home furniture before, such as comfortable and stylish ways to work on a laptop without an actual home office. The only limits are your imagination.
