1.  Minimalism is Here to Stay

 

 

Minimalism has always been a popular style in interior design, and it has become even more sought after. During the past two years people became homebound, the first thing they did was to get rid of all of their old and nonfunctional décor and furnishings in order to make a tidy and comfortable living space. Sebastian Brauer, Crate & Barrel’s VP of product design and development, says many consumers felt claustrophobic and were focused on creating space, or the illusion of space, in their homes through minimalist design. They are returning to a ‘less is more’ mindset, but with a touch of comfort. This means that, during the pandemic, minimalism is more popular than ever, and consumers are more likely to buy compact but functional furniture or interiors to keep their living spaces minimal and simple.

 

In 2022, the demand for minimalist but functional home furniture will gradually increase. LUMIvida’s ETB01 Modern Compact Side Tables are the perfect addition to your product line.  They combine eye-catching style in a compact size and can blend perfectly into any minimalism home/office décor. Furthermore, these tables make life easier by providing a place for often or rarely used items.

 

2.  A Combination of Home and Workplace

 

 

Companies are increasingly allowing employees to work from home, and some are even subsidizing furniture purchases in order to provide a better working environment for their employees. The Washington Post noted that from some retailers’ sales of home office furniture has risen more than 100 percent since the pandemic. The ideal combination of home and office will remain the mainstream interior design style that most people seek in 2022. People are looking for comfortable chairs and expanded storage space to support much heavier usage.

 

LUMIvida's CH04 Wobble Stools and FFR-04 Heavy-Duty Folding Steel Shelving Units are perfect solutions for customers that want to transform their workspace at home and increase their productivity.

 

3.  Smart Homes Design

 

 

The smart home market is currently booming and expanding at a rapid pace as well. As an example, the number of smart homes in the EU is expected to increase tenfold by 2021. And the EU smart home market is expected to double between 2018 and 2024 and reach USD 44 billion. [1] As the popularity of smart homes grows, more and more people are using smart devices to improve their interior design projects.

 

The integration of smart home devices and technology in interior design will undoubtedly add a sense of well-being to people's home life. You can help them in achieving this with LUMIvida's PS08W Series of Wi-Fi Smart Plugs and Power Strips that allow appliances and lights to be controlled remotely and on schedule. 

 

4.  Integrating Nature into the Interior

 

 

Because of the long periods of time spent at home without contact with nature, people are more eager than ever to get in touch with the outside world. By incorporating organic forms and natural elements into interior design, people can feel closer to nature, which is good for them physically and mentally. The architectural and interior design industry terms this design trend, Biophilic Design, and can be expected that furniture products with natural wood textures or natural tones will be in high demand in 2022.
