Whether it be an ornate dining chair with a clean-lined modern table or a classic crystal chandelier flanking a modern leather sofa this mix is sure to be popping up more.
Pairing these two totally different aesthetics is one of my favorite things to see in design because it's refreshing and adds contrast to cookie-cutter spaces that all start to blend.
So, if you have all your moms' old antiques as I do, it may be time to look through them and see what could be repurposed or reused.
We have seen arches in trim, doorways, and windows for hundreds of years and it's coming back.Arches add visual interest.

Arches are a technique used in past architecture for structural support and they'll also be making a comeback in 2022.
Breaking up harsh modern lines with curved arches is very refreshing and gives any design an elevated look. Another benefit of arches is that they make your space feel larger by drawing the eye upward.
We are starting to see these curved and organic lines used more and more in design projects, too.
Stark gray tones can feel commercial and sterile, which is why we can expect brown shades to make a comeback.Brown is generally cozier than gray.
We will mostly be seeing these brown tones in rich textures such as velvet or on people's walls, but that's not to say we won't see it on other design aspects as well.
Wicker and rattan are making a comeback.We'll be seeing woven textures this year.

More and more we're seeing wicker and rattan used in interiors.
These woven-wood materials are pretty durable and I think they last a long time. Plus rattan is a more eco-friendly choice compared to a lot of other materials.
We'll be seeing nods to gothic interiors.Black walls and accents are in.

Gothic design is known for ornate details and rich finishes and I think it'll be popping up a lot this year by way of black statement pieces and walls. Plus we'll be seeing more gothic details, from dark-detailed statement wallpapers to oversized black antique cabinets.
These dark accents can make a home feel quaint, somber, and, dare I say, moody. This style especially makes sense in vintage- or classic-style homes but we're seeing it in modern paces as well.
Light oak flooring has been all the rave for years, but we're going to start seeing dark wood again.Dark wood can add warmth to a home.

Whether you're using it on floors or furniture, dark wood can really ground a space while creating a sense of warmth.
Dark wood can be more sought after as well because it tends to show grain more intensely. It's also timeless and pairs beautifully with white tones to create contrast.
By going with darker wood finishes you are sure to make your home cozier and give it a great sense of warmth.
Gallery walls will be the go-to solution for filling blank spaces.Gallery walls can make a space and design feel impactful and well thought out.

Gallery walls are the perfect way to fill space and mix art, photography, and mirrors together for a beautiful result.
Some of my favorite gallery walls include family pictures from past travels, which makes it that much more personal.
Gallery walls are also incredibly versatile because they can be any size. You can fill a giant white wall with them or a cozy corner nook and achieve the same result depending on frame and photo size.
Overscale marble gives homage to mid-century-modern design, which we're going to see a lot of this year.Veins can make a piece of stone stand out.

Get used to seeing stone that makes a statement, from stone countertops in a kitchen or bathroom to chunky marble coffee tables.
We have seen marble used since Roman and Greek architecture but what differs in today's design is the concentration on contrast and veins. These are now celebrated in design and even sought after.
Many people are carrying this design aesthetic to floors and walls in bathrooms as well.
