The Top Interior Design Trends of this Year

Dried Flower Displays

Move over houseplants (don’t go too far though), because the new flower of choice in 2022 is the dried type.

Decorating any room, these arrangements can look super elegant when paired with a simple vase.

Not only do they last longer than vibrant flowers, but they don’t require any maintenance and still leave a room looking stylish and on-trend.

We’re sure you’ve seen heaps of these on Pinterest and Instagram! You can get pre-made arrangements from florists and online retailers.

Roof Windows

With the COVID-19 pandemic carrying through to 2022, we all craved the outdoors as much as we did in 2020.

This could be the reason why roof windows became a huge 2023 trend, bringing as much natural light indoors as possible.

Roof windows and skylights are perfect for enhancing daylight and are really popular for modern kitchen extensions.

Spending more time indoors is certainly more enjoyable when filled with light, boosting productivity and mental wellbeing!
