Like most people, we too can’t wait for this year to finally pass. Of course, there is still no guarantee that 2022 will be pandemic-free, but at the moment we seem a little hopeful. But no matter what happens, it’s always nice to look ahead and see what new home trends are on the rise. After all the turmoil in 2021, we look forward to a fresh start and opportunities to add more color to our lives in the New Year. But which wall colors will be trendy next year?
Here have compiled the color forecasts of the largest paint and varnish manufacturers for 2022 for you. With most brands, you can see the impact the coronavirus is having on wall color trends for the next year. We see many warm, calming shades that ensure that we can really relax and feel good at home. In addition, soft pastel colors and calm blue and gray tones create a good basis for colored decorations. But there is also a trend towards lighter shades, which are supposed to give our four walls more color and happiness. So the new trends offer a nice combination of calm shades with nice bright splashes of color.

Dulux Australia’s 2022 color forecast is based on the 3 color palettes Retreat, Nourish and Reset, which evoke inviting images of relaxation, tranquility and comfort. These wall paint trends give a feeling of renewal, but also have a nostalgic touch.
A neutral gray creates a soft and contemporary look
Retreat offers a homely aesthetic and a nostalgic mix of comfort and safety. From sleeping to eating and working to exercising, our home has now become the hub for many busy days. What was once a place of rest and relaxation now embodies a living environment made up of family, work and leisure.
Gray and blue radiate calm and concentration
Muted earth tones create a harmonious environment to encourage inspiration and creativity. Since our private and work life continues to blur, we should upgrade our rooms accordingly in order to maintain a mixture of functionality and comfort. This offers the ultimate range for flexible living.

Playful retro colors are making a comeback
The stronger colors from the Reset palette allow us to look to the future with optimism. Lively pops of color with fun retro colors bring the 70s back. The combination of teracotta red, petrol blue and mint is guaranteed to lift the mood!
