Staging to Sell or Settling In: Top 5 Interior Design Trends to Know for 2022

Are you staging to sell or settling in to make your house your home?

We all love a reason to grab a coffee and shop through that favorite store gathering inspiration to make our spaces wow! This year brings some familiar trends worth keeping an eye out for on your next shopping trip or "grocery run".

1. Accessories

More is more! Consider this permission to pull out all those tucked away travel souvenirs and trinkets you put into storage when minimalism was the hot ticket.

2. Wood Tones

Good news for thrift-store fanatics! Worn wood tones are in. As supply issues linger, now is a great time to refinish pieces you own or visit your local repurpose store instead of waiting months for something brand-new to come in.  Ankeny local home decor store Charlotte Louise Mercantile offers a wide variety of repurposed furniture pieces!  

3. Wallpaper 

Yep. It’s true. I’ve seen it coming for months, but now, it’s official! Afraid of commitment? Check out the host of temporary wallpaper products Target is currently offering.

4. Entertaining is back!

Time to toss the pandemic-friendly stadium cups and paper plates. With the world opening back up, you’ll want some new pieces for entertaining. Grab a colorful set of glasses, melamine dishware (perfect for the outdoors!), or that cozy fire pit you’ve had your eye on all year.

5. Rattan

If there’s a favorite material in interior design right now, it’s rattan. Weave it into your abode by adding a rattan chair to your den or purchasing a set of rattan chargers for the dining room. You can't go wrong stopping by Ikea for a full selection of rattan furniture and accessories.
