How To Bring The Trends Home

Now that you’ve immersed yourself in our 2022 trends, here’s how to welcome them into your home, your way

You’ve been romanced by the blushing beauty of Country Sunset, seduced by the eclectic sophistication of The New Med, lulled by the warming tones of Golden Hour and charmed, we’re sure, by the understated flair of French Vintage. What next? Now you bring the trends home, of course – but where to start?

“I recommend taking elements of a trend and making it your own,” says Style Forecast style director Fiona Gould. “Trends are aspirational, but they should be taken as a starting point and interpreted according to your own style, rather than following to the letter.”

For example, you might choose “a whimsical wallpaper in our French trend or a rosy-pink bedspread from our Country trend,” advises Fiona. “It’s about taking elements that you love and incorporating them into the style that suits your own space.” Read on for more inspiration on bringing the Home Beautiful 2022 trends to life in your home.

COUNTRY SUNSET

Inspired by the gentle hues of a summertime sunset in the bush, this trend “is about bringing a slice of the Australian countryside home with you, even when you’re a city dweller”, explains Fiona. Welcome dusky tones of rose into your home through furniture, cushions, rugs and curtains. Ultimately, embracing Country Sunset is an exercise in soothing the soul. “It’s soft, pretty, warm and inviting – a comforting hug of a colour that we can all do with in these times,” says Fiona.
