Metro Mojo: Urban Aesthetics for the Sophisticated Suburbs

It’s fair to say that we’ve all been looking forward to Spring since the moment we packed our Christmas decorations away. The clocks have gone forward and finally, the change in seasons is beginning to be felt. With the promise of Spring in the air, we’re looking at the SS22 kitchen interior trends set to be big over the next few months.

Sustainability

Sustainability is driving pretty much every market out there at the moment. Consumer demand for more responsible products continues to grow. Today, sustainable living has never been more important. When it comes to kitchen design, consumers want to know the full life cycle of a product and material; where it came from, the carbon footprint of its manufacture and its recycling capabilities.

Ever heard of ‘biophilia’? This refers to the innate human instinct to connect with nature and other living beings. The biophilia trend is set to be one of the biggest in 2022. With that in mind, we expect to see plenty of organic and reclaimed materials in kitchen worktops, cabinetry, furniture and appliances throughout this season.

Modern farmhouse

Without a doubt, one of the biggest interior trends taking centre stage this season is the rustic farmhouse style. The last few years in lockdown have driven many people out of big cities and into the rural countryside to enjoy rolling hills and fresh air. This put country-inspired homes and interiors well and truly on the map, prompting the emergence of ‘cottagecore’, a social media movement based around the idea of living a simple rural lifestyle.
