What does feng shui says about condo design for 2022
The rules of feng shui happens to be lamented to every household and is considered to be a long living tradition every new year. Such ancient Chinese art, which has been practiced from centuries up to this day, focuses on the strategic spatial positioning of every element in the house to keep the positive energy flow.
For future homeowners that want to own a condo, or looking for a ready for occupancy condo this year, feng shui dictates that it is best to purchase a new home between August, September, and October, specifically within the dates between 3, 7, 11, 20, 24, 27, and 29. Also, find a space where the direction of the condo should be facing south west - avoid properties that face north west because it is believed that homeowners will get into financial difficulties.
Once moved in, then it is ready for a make-over, inspired by the trends this 2022. Here is a guide that will ease prep time on what and how the future condo design should look like.
Shades best for condo design this 2022
Shades of brown and neutrals
There is a sudden mix of aesthetic and cosiness with the brown color. It gives a taste of warmth and feel-home vibe, so as neutral hues. It is an ideal choice of color for condo design especially for those who live as a family, maintaining the vibe of closeness and togetherness. Another plus point of this color, aside from being absolutely visually appealing, it is also a practical choice since it can almost jive every color, may it be as bright as yellow, or as pale as grey.
Calming blue
With the chaos happening outside condo living, everyone deserves a good rest in their own places, coating the condo with a calming blue color is a good start. Blue, in general, is a fun color, and perhaps it might attract positive energy inside condo living. Also, Pantone’s color of the year is Veri Peri, which has the qualities of blue undertones - maybe it's a sign to play with to attract luck!
October Mist
Aside from Pantone, Benjamin Moore also released their 2022 color of the year - October Mist. This color is a fusion of primary hues, pale tones, and botanical shades. It is a color that is meant to incorporate the environment in the condo design, and perhaps adding some indoor plants and other outdoor elements might complete this nature-centric motif trend.
Moody hues
Who said that no one can pull off a glossy and stylish finish with black? In aiming for a more sleek and luxurious condo design, moody hues can be a great choice. Colors like black, grey are an ideal catch to have a pristine yet edgy condo living experience. Though, such color is recommended for condos with plenty of spaces, it is still a great color to play for added accents in condo design.
Best fabric to incorporate in condo design
Fabrics are the underdogs of interior design. Although they are not the most noticeable, removing such elements can give a huge impact - observe; try removing the curtains in the living room, or the table cloth on the side table, there you can distinguish a huge difference. Not to mention most of the furniture and accents are made mostly of fabric, so it is just essential talking about fabrics while welcoming a new year, right?
Leather
Twenty twenty-two is the year for leather. This year there is a rise of the enveloping, earthy color of brown, much like leather. It adds sophistication and neatness to condo design - like a sofa, dining chairs, or some accents on the wall.
It would be a great idea to look for a ready for occupancy condo which already includes furniture accentuated with leather elements. Leather happens to have rich tones that reflect stability, luxury, and authority. It is an element that resembles the act of ageing gracefully and finely - much like the goal of every homeowner with their properties.
Anything with warm colors
Keeping the condo design cozy and welcoming is the main purpose of the trend. Neutral colors, shades of browns, a little of yellow-ish, mustard colors, and a touch of chartreuse, help maintain the warm and comfortable condo living atmosphere.
Other promising colors are chocolate brown, caramel, which both showcase a deep neutral and timeless elegant finish. For brighter color options, for those who are not afraid of making a bold move, rosy tones are also an IN this year, as well as monochromatic-colored walls which seal the condo’s cosines.
2022’s ideal types of furniture for condo design
Furniture design this year requires more curved, softer shapes with angled accents. It embodies a safe, friendly feeling that emphasizes warmth and hospitality. This trend in furniture and architecture is projected to continue in 2022, thanks to its gracious and sensual shapes, curved edges, and luxury finish. Incorporating such types of furniture can surely level up condo design. Things like an artistic table center with a harmonious curvy stand, or a dining setup with engraved curvy sculptures are just one of the many more trends to watch out for.
Textiles and textures
Another condo design trend coming this 2022 is textile designs and textures. In terms of textile, color maven, velvets (for some elegant touch), and patterned prints are to look out for this year; the addition of patterns to different spaces adds depth and fun.
When it comes to textures, venetian plaster happens to be the trend this year. There is an uprising of antiqued surfaces mixed with subtle textures on walls. This gives a more raw touch to condo design, giving a complete realistic condo living experience.
Natured-inspired accents
One of this year’s trends is by seeking connection with nature. This is hugely inspired by close natural surfaces. Decorative objects like stoneware, marbles, various indoor plants, are best to place near bathtubs, on the table in the workspace, or as centerpieces on coffee tables. Incorporating nature-inspired decorative accents gives a organic feel that adds depth. Such material with a fusion of calmness and elegance makes the condo design close to the environment, and the earth.
On the other hand outdoor furniture offers a flavorful taste of sophistication without compromising the garden-centric decor. Lounge chairs and some rattan outdoor side tables provide quality condo living, complete with a full nature experience.
