Autumn Interior Design Trends 2022: Your Seasonal Home Décor Guide

2022 has been our first full year out of lockdown – hooray! Weddings are back and better than ever and so is home entertaining. However, throwing open your doors on this renewed zest for hosting means you may want to freshen up your decor. And, if you are wondering what are the interior design trends 2022 is bringing in for autumn, well, read on for inspiration and top tips.

It seemed natural to ask our in-house team of experts for advice to help you create the best home interiors. This is also where your wedding registry comes in handy. It’s the perfect opportunity to upgrade your home with both timeless classics and the latest trends.

When it comes to living room design trends, 2022 is all about moody neutrals and nature-inspired design, which is absolutely continuing into the new season. The colour palette is based on rich chocolate browns with shades of espresso and slate. While accent pieces bring pops of colour with fresh greens and spicy paprika…. Sounds good enough to eat, looks even better! Natural materials and tactile textures bring a cosy, rustic feel to the living room, creating the perfect relaxing atmosphere.

In terms of furniture, curved forms have been the way forward this year and we are OBSESSED. Also, the humble pouf has made a triumphant comeback – a stylish spot to rest your feet… what’s not to like?! And when it comes to homewares, designers are favouring artisanal, handcrafted pieces. Sustainability and integrity are a big focus for AW22, so we love brands like The Colombia Collective and Nkuku, which put their (mostly women) makers at the centre of their business, giving back both to their community and to the planet.

The dark kitchen trend of the last few years is showing no signs of slowing. But this season brings a softer approach, which puts nostalgic homewares and tablescapes in the spotlight. Pick accent pieces for your kitchen and dining spaces that remind you of where you grew up – of delicious home cooking and the warm glow of sharing a meal with loved ones around the dinner table. Brands we’re loving for this are Oka, Life of Riley and Pooky.

When it comes to the bedroom, autumn interior trends in 2022 are all about getting cosy. Creating a cocooning space where you can curl up, keep warm and relax. Think luxurious bed linen, cosy throws and weighted blankets to wrap up in. Tactile textiles add depth and texture, while soft rugs in muted shades tie the space together.

We love Piglet in Bed for ultra-luxurious bed linens in the latest trending colours and Aeyla for their must-have weighted blankets.

The 2022 interior design trends for the bathroom are all about bringing the outdoors in to create a relaxing, spa-like experience. Think natural materials like slate, stone and wood combined with clean glass and plenty of plants. Why not pop a Patch plants voucher on your wedding gift registry to help greenify your space? Then complete your perfect pampering bathtime set-up by investing in a classic wooden bath caddy, fluffy cotton towels and luxury bath products.

Top tip: If you have space, a stool or bench is the perfect piece to add interest to your bathroom – both practical and beautiful, it’s a great way to add texture and character to your bathroom. We love the Sutton Woven Stool by The White Company.

Autumn Interior Design Colour Trends 2022

The darker, more saturated colours we’ve seen come in this year work perfectly for autumn and going into winter too. Moody neutral base tones like rich chocolate are the perfect counterpoint for accent pieces and fabrics in bold blues, fresh greens and punchy paprika orange. It’s a nod to the 70’s aesthetic, without feeling the need to go ‘full retro’.

So, what do you think of the top interior design trends 2022 is bringing in for autumn? And which ones will you incorporate into your wedding registry list?
