We invite you to take a look at the living trends 2022 by Kare Design. Choose among the latest design trends for the home, from town house chic to loft reloaded. Here you’re sure to find something special to tickle your fancy!
TOWN HOUSE CHIC:
Classic elegance experiences a colour fusion and charming style breaks. The Townhouse trend reflects cosmopolitanism, a love of young classics with retro flair and the fun of lively colour fusions. Fixed points are unusual furniture, decorative objects and lamps whose design demonstrates their unique character.
LOFT RELOADED
The popular industrial loft is experiencing a revival because modern cosiness is heating up the cool factory atmosphere. Loft Reloaded provides the answer to new living concepts in which living and working merge. The industrial coating of the loft style with the predominance of metal and concrete recedes into the background. The result is a casual living style with a workshop character, where earthy colours and the play with textures are the game-changers.
SWING
Organic shapes bring verve into the home. From the mirror frame to the dining table frame, from the sofa to the swivel armchair – all the new home favourites score points without any corners or edges. Round, oval or kidney-shaped, these pieces of furniture have a calming effect with their design, because their range of shapes goes back to models from nature.
TEXTURE
Cast glass and creative surfaces. Cool glass now comes in the form of cast and ribbed variants. The tops of side tables and consoles are reminiscent of ice floes, making each piece of furniture unique. Furniture fronts become storytellers: handcrafted mosaics made of different woods, chiselled decorative elements made of metal and inlays take you into the world of creative manufacturers.
FLUFFY
Fluffy fabrics create a nested atmosphere. Only the Chanel jacket comes in bouclé? Not at all, the interior designers have discovered this classic fabric with its little knots and loops for armchairs and the like. The colour of choice: cream! The brave choose a cocktail armchair in a teddy outfit, which as a soloist will spice up any living room landscape.
