So, what's next for our homes? We asked 10 Southern designers for the trends that are poised to make it big in the new year. Though their responses run the gamut from moody hues to an antique revival, one thing's for sure: 2022 has all the makings to be one very stylish year.

But this year, everything from bringing the outdoors in to experimenting with pattern and texture, and finding design inspiration from past decades are of interest.

We connected with a group of dynamic interior designers to find out the top interior design trends that they've come across so this year as well as what to expect in the coming months.

WHICH INTERIOR TREND IS MOST OUTDATED IN 2022?

It's back to the farmyard for farmhouse style as interiors take on a fresher, more streamlined aesthetic for 2022.

Decor experts for Lamps Plus(opens in new tab) comment: ‘The one trend that our tastemakers unanimously agreed is on its way out is the kitschy and hyper-distressed farmhouse we currently know.’

According to Denise Cooper, lifestyle expert and recipient of Better Homes & Gardens Stylemaker 2021: ‘Barn doors, shiplap, and the chipped-paint, rustic side of farmhouse are starting to feel dated. In 2022, the focus is going to be on modern, clean lines and crisp spaces.’

WHAT IS THE BEST DECORATING TREND FOR 2022?

Adding texture to walls is a key trend for adding another dimension to living spaces in 2022. 

Design experts at CEWE(opens in new tab), comment: 'A trend that came into play towards the end of last year and is taking the design world by storm this year is textured walls, particularly via wall panel molding. This trend is something that can be done yourself and adds a really high-end look and feel to any room. For a simple and quick turnaround, try adding the panels to just the bottom half of a wall – you can find the panels in most DIY stores. This look also creates a stunning background to add wall art through the 2D feeling that it provides.
