2022 is just around the corner, and it's time to get a little dose of inspiration. Let's dive into 2022 interior color trends and find out will the upcoming year surprise us with unexpected color combinations and palettes. Color is one of the most important components of interior design, and choosing the right color can make all the difference in setting the desired mood for any space. For the past two years, most of us had to spend more time at home or even design our own home office. It feels that picking the right color for interior design becomes even more significant than before because the colors surrounding us can directly impact our emotions. And there is also a feeling that for 2022 we all are thirsty for shades that will bring freshness and rejuvenation, and many color experts and decorators agree that 2022 is the year for new beginnings. Will it be? Let's see!
Leading paint companies Sherwin-Williams, PPG, and Benjamin Moore agree that 2022 is the year for grey-green, and we couldn't be happier because we love shades of subtle green, sage & olive. And we already have some wallpaper patterns in mind that would go perfectly with the gray-green color palette!
1. Evergreen Fog
Sherwin-Williams 2022 Color of the Year is "Evergreen Fog". "Soothing, subtle, and a perfect shade to freshen up any space. Evergreen Fog SW 9130 is a versatile and calming hue, a chameleon color of gorgeous green-meets-gray, with just a bit of blue. It's a simple but sophisticated wash of beautiful, organic color for spaces that crave a subtle yet stunning statement shade." – www.sherwin-williams.com
We think "Evergreen Fog" would go well with the simple but playful "Tiny Brush Pattern Removable Wallpaper in Green" and the more ascetic "Sage Green Herringbone Wallpaper for Nursery".
2. Olive Sprig
"Elegant, grounded, versatile and highly-adaptable, the grey-green color represents regrowth, mimicking nature’s resiliency," is color "Olive Sprig" PPG's selection for 2022 Color of the Year. "Olive Sprig is a relaxed, but enticing green that emulates the feeling of soothing aloe vera or a fragrant plant – brightening any space with organic liveliness. A versatile color that lives well inside or outside, Olive Sprig blends in with nearly any environment." – www.ppgpaints.com
Our pattern choices for this beautiful shade of olive are the botanical "Green Color Palm Leaves Design Wallpaper" and the all time classic "Green Classic Houndstooth Removable Wallpaper".
3. October Mist 1495
Benjamin Moore's 2022 Color of the Year is "October Mist 1495". “October Mist 1495 and the corresponding Color Trends 2022 palette reflect an effortless harmony of colors, while inspiring unique combinations for any paint project," says Andrea Magno, Benjamin Moore Director of Color Marketing & Development. "Make room for creativity. Evoking the silver-green stem of a flower, October Mist creates a canvas for other colors - and your imagination - to blossom." – www.benjaminmoore.com
The bright "Modern Herringbone Pattern Removable Wallpaper" and the more subtle "Sage Green Banana Leaf Design Removable Wallpaper" patterns would go perfectly with "October Mist 1495”.
Looks like there are no more questions about the 2022 Color of the Year because green is leading the way. It's a color of nature, growth, freshness, and energy. Green is a relaxing color that soothes us with its gentle and peaceful undertones. It's the fresh start we needed for 2022. But it's not only about green. Grey-green is subtle enough to be used in many ways and paired with different colors and palettes. And this is where the fun begins! With their 2022 Color Palette, Benjamin Moore encourages us to be creative and play around with color pairings to create different interior moods. We decided to take the challenge and create three contrasting 2022 color mood boards for your 2022 interior inspiration.
