Although things have become more open this year, Covid is still with us and it has changed the way we live. Many of us are still working remotely, a trend that started even before the pandemic. Spending more time at home means having a comfortable environment so we can be more productive during the day and more relaxed at night. Sometimes we face supply chain issues that push us to plan ahead and we tend to appreciate our furniture more.

Here are some trends to look for in the coming year:

1. Light it up
Lighter shades are still in trend, and this works well for furniture as well as backgrounds like walls and rugs. For a truly updated look in 2022, add a touch of black as an accent color to offset shades of white, light beige, and gray. black wooden coffee table, throw pillows or table lamps can contrast well with a room in neutral tones.

2. Use natural materials
Universal furniture sofa
Make your home a showcase by upholstering your upholstery with luxurious leather and beautiful cotton fabrics. Check out performance fabrics from well-known brand manufacturers that stand up to everyday use and still look fresh. A rug with patterns and textures to spice up your living room or great room in 2022. Use natural stone, including marble, in your kitchen for a touch of elegance.

3. Choose Comfort
The focus this year is to choose a wood panel bed to allow ourselves and our families to spend a comfortable time at home. Choose a comfortable rocker recliner with motion features designed to make the chair your favorite place to relax in your home.

4. Think Multifunctional
Next year, it's all about creating multifunctional spaces that can meet our needs. A multipurpose room with multipurpose furniture is the name of the game in making our home work for us right now. Forgo the guest room and opt for a sofa sleeper so you can free up space for a game room or home office, while also being prepared for the occasional overnight guest.
