Interior Design Trends We Can Leave In 2022

[@viznjayden2938]

Hang on Bella, a whole community is rooting for you, everything will be alright 🫶

[@nailguncrouch1017]

The thing I dislike about mimalism as depicted, is that it tends to be so bland. My house is fairly minimal but there is color and texture.

[@deniseharrell1591]

I live in apartment from 1951. The tile is also from 1951. I put in just a few pops of Mamie pink, Warhol Sam cats, just a few, for fun minimilism.

[@cocokai9661]

I absolutely agree about the open concepts! So glad to see people pushing back on the idea that walls are evil and must be torn down. I used to love watching HGTV, but every designer on there did the same thing and it all started by tearing down all the walls and leaving the poor people with one cavernous space. No privacy, no closets, no lamps by sofas and chairs ( because sofas and chairs were floating in the cavernous space like castaways). And for me, it was just a big NO. I like walls and halls and cozy spaces.

[@thepickledpixie9052]

Aye, and the cost of heating those huge rooms in winter!

Big HUGS to Bella!!! 💕💜🥰 YOU CAN BEAT THIS, Bella!! My mother was a cancer survivor of 20 years before covid took her in 2020. She (unexpectedly) got pregnant with my little sister a year after chemo, and things went awesome. Bella, when this tough period is over, I promise you that you'll be a whole new person with renewed outlook, new purpose, and you will be stronger!! You'll know *you can take on ANYTHING, and it won't break you.* 😌. Much love and good vibes, love!! 🥰💜💕

[@giovannaalvaro8132]

You got this, Bella! As for trends I'm glad to see go away: I can't believe fake plants ever even made it as a trend, they are hideous.

[@JUBA616]

Sending love and healing for Bella and everyone else in this family we have formed here who has unspoken needs.

[@westbrookdowns4331]

Holding Bella in the light.

[@adrianagalli7504]

As to the open space kitchen/ dining room I completely agree with you. What about the smell of cooked food, especially of fried food? It stucks on fabric and curtains😮😮😮

[@loricraig3589]

I have never been a fan of floating shelves. They are usually dusty and who needs to add another job to their cleaning routine. Thank you.

[@maryrugar8724]

I have never commented on anything, but am letting Bella know I shall be praying for her. Prayer can change everything.

[@ashliediard3881]

Sending you healing prayers Bella!🥰 I'm so excited for the new year. Husband and I are almost a year into our new home and we are really starting to look at new furniture and talk aesthetic and style. These videos help me introduce him to interior design. Thanks Garrett for talking about what is out and what is in. Sending you all the love as we head into 2023.✨🥂🍾✨

[@lilaclots6919]

Black shower frames and faucets are going out. People have finally realized how unpractical those are besides visually making bathrooms too heavy

[@tlbberger3081]

Bella praying for a complete recovery for you. Keep your spirits up.

[@Nse204]

Instead of a fake tree for a dimly-lit room I highly recommend a cast iron plant (Aspidistra elatior). They can be found in the southern US for peanuts as an outdoor plant, but can be pricey when sold as a house plant. It's worth it because they require very little light. Victorians loved using them in dark sitting rooms. Impossible to kill unless you over water it. More plants that are genuinely easy care (I've forgotten to water them for up to a month in low light): snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata), grape ivy (Cissus rhombifolia), ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia), devil's ivy (pothos). As for open concept designs: ironically I think it works best in a large space? I live in a modest home with a 10 x 10' kitchen, 10 x 10' dining room, and 13 x 15' living room. We opened up the dining room to the kitchen but kept the wall separating them from the living room. I've visited homes where they tore all the walls down, and it feels like a tiny condo with nothing to define the space.

[@rosebishop6065]

Hey, Bella, I have been battling a chronic illness for nearly 13 years now, and the best thing I can say is YOU GOT THIS! It is in zero way easy! I really hope you get on your way to feeling well!

[@cs4849]

I’ve never been a big fan of accent walls, but something I did in the master bedroom was paint the back wall behind the bed a shade darker (the next one on the paint chip). It’s subtle, but does something interesting to all the light that comes in from the windows. Sending healing thoughts, Bella. I’m 4 years out from surgeries and chemo for breast cancer, so I know well how rough a road battling a serious illness is. I wish you strength and a return to good health for you! ❤️

[@mmr1646]

Garrett, it is so wonderful of you to mention Bella and ask for prayers for her! She is on my prayer list for strength and a full recovery.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Of course! People mean everything to us on this channel. 🙏🙏🙏

[@buildergradetocustommade]

I want 2023 to kick gray with the white. Especially faux gray "weathered" wood.

[@DebiDan]

What I noticed with any design trend is once TOO MANY people start doing it, no one wants to do it anymore. We just built a new home a little over a year ago and when it came to finishes and kitchen design I asked our designer “what has everyone been doing the past few years?” Once she told me, we went a total other way. She even agreed that once you notice the same things on back order and the market saturated with a certain “look”, it’s on its way out soon.

[@GarrettLeChic]

A big theme of this channel is not to follow a trend just because someone else does. If someone loves a trend and thinks they can embrace it for quite a while that’s fine. It’s great to take inspiration from from trends that speak to our tastes and make them our own. A person’s home should reflect who they are, their personality and what makes them happy. I try to stress that regularly in our videos. 😊😊😊

[@mdipeace]

Bella, we are rooting for a speedy recovery for you.

[@molliewildes6344]

Sending all good vibes your way, Bella. Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup. They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe…

[@lindahritz249]

Best wishes for strength and health for Bella. I for one refuse to give up my honey oak cabinets.

[@Saminadance09]

I am so happy to hear that the open concept is leaving. Walls are the lingerie of the home-leave a little something to the imagination

[@GarrettLeChic]

Well I would not say it’s leaving completely, but it’s certainly nice to see the modified open concept option which I much prefer. There are still people that like a very open concept and I respect that. It just wouldn’t work for our lifestyle and design objectives. 😊😊😊

[@libbyneves5457]

Bless you, Bella! I hope you have a team of helpful people around you who will respect and support the decisions you make to create your own recovery. You are worth whatever it takes. My friend had a pretty scary breast cancer diagnosis. She had been working, had two teenagers and a husband. After a couple of weeks she felt she could not get enough rest at home. She rented an apartment close to her house and spent most of her time in her apartment. She went to see her family after school and went back to her apartment for the night. Some evenings she ate with her family, sometimes not. Sometimes she helped cook, sometimes not. She took leave from her job. She lived.

[@penelopemaynard9016]

God watch over you, Bella. I will pray for you, and light a candle in your name at Mass this Sunday. May His love and tenderness wash over you. Much love, Penelope xoxo

[@jeannehoffman1060]

Prayers for Bella. You have got this, girl! I’m a positive thinker, so I am sending you my positive strength.

[@amandakay8261]

Just discovered your channel and I am OBSESSED! I have been binge watching you all day (as I paint my dining room a deep, smoky charcoal grey/black 🖤) I am currently remodeling our 1856 cottage style home we just purchased and am LOVING IT! My personal style can be described as a moody, rustic luxury. Rich wood tones and natural materials, dark accents (and sometimes walls 🖤) with pops of Metallics and lots of mixed metals. I’ve always been told I have a crazy eye for interior design so I am very curious to see what you would think of my space in the future. Much love from Iowa, just a small town girl living in a dreamy, luxurious world 🖤🤍

[@GarrettLeChic]

Yay! I’m glad you are enjoying Amanda. Welcome to the channel. It’s great to have you as part of our very valued subscriber family! I always recommend turning the bell notifications on so you know when I post a video like tomorrow, Thursday at 12pm noon PST. Happy New Year! 😊😊😊

[@jeanineferris488]

Garrett, You are the BEST! You are the only designer that recognizes all of our styles and allows us to incorporate our memories and contemporary and antique heirlooms and teaches us to grow our own style. You have validated what I have brought into my home, I want a contemporary feel and still have my old hippie vibe, my mom's French with aunt anne's gorgeous hand carved heavy dark wood antiques. Hey, and cranberry velvet too! A big mix that has come together cohesively because of YOU! It is what I love and can afford and brings a sense of warmth and comfort. Thank you Garrett! Happy 2023!

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment! Glad you are enjoying. Happy New Year!

[@sandrastrobel1254]

I know it’s been going out for a while, but I am so tired of gray everything. I don’t mind touches of gray hair in there. But the total gray rooms from floor to ceiling. That’s a bit much and stayed for too long.

[@gurubhaikhalsa9337]

Sending love and prayers for complete healing to Bella.

[@LesaBear612]

I’m glad you are being realistic about down. It’s stems from a cruel practice. With so many alternatives, there’s no reason for people to covet down.

[@GarrettLeChic]

[@mtnshelby7059]

Love and recovery wishes for Bella. As for trends disappearing...I love my open space home but can only imagine the annoyance of someone clanging pots in the kitchen while I'm relaxing in the living room. And I really wish there was an entryway as the front door opens right into the kitchen! Great if you're solo and don't like to entertain but for anyone else...beware. thanks for another great video.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Glad you enjoyed! Happy New Year. 🎆

[@pageremick5504]

Bella, when you go to sleep each night, picture all the love and good energy of Garrett and this family surrounding you as a healing light. Go to sleep with a smile on your face.... and wake up being grateful for all the people who care about you. Garrett! Yes, yes and OMG YES to mid-century modern going to the trash heap of early ugly! A retro piece is fun and can make you smile, but whole rooms or houses? YECH! Yes to all the other points you made (especially the fake trees!), and for anyone still clutching their granite countertops, PLEEZ choose something more interesting and fresh. . (Just my opinion)

[@GarrettLeChic]

Happy New Year Page!🎉🎉🎉

[@K3r0411]

A speedy recovery for Bella! ❤ Sofas need to be low maintenance, and I can imagine that people are over the down sofas. I think the best middle ground is a sofa with a down wrapped foam core. I had one for years, and thought I would like to try something firmer. Enter my current sofa; and with it a polyester wrapped foam core. Oh boy, do I regret that purchase. The seat cushions are okay, but the ones in the back are just really uncomfortable. Never again.

[@ajawarnock4009]

Bella I am sending you healing prayers and co-signing the reality of you moving into the future in perfect health. 💜

[@rz1974]

IMO down should be reserved for spaces where the frumpiness comes off as lived in and cozy instead of disheveled, so usually an old house with plenty of antiques, natural surfaces and generally rustic design, but still modern counterpoints. Too often it gets thrown into a modern space or mcmansion and just comes off a messy against all of the clean lines and surfaces.

[@meredithmorgan8480]

A black ficus elastica is my favorite indoor tree! They do need light, but they are the toughest and grow in size well. They are so sculptural and interesting!

[@cheriemancaruso6160]

[@ginalombardi2507]

I split my time between a tiny city condo and a houseboat in a Marina in New England. So I have some small faux plants and I bring my real houseplants back and forth between the two places. So no room for a tree in my small car.

[@daledavis6984]

I have never cared for open concept.

[@clairerosey9921]

Bella, I see you as a healthy, happy and vibrant person. I see all illness leave your body and from now there is no other truth. It cannot be any other way. Stand up and walk, believe and it is. Xx

My old house had an opening to the kitchen right after coming in the front door. I hated that, so I closed it by putting up a wall, and added more cupboards in the kitchen on the other side.

Best Wishes Bella for overcoming your health challenge in 2023!

[@dev5963]

I hope we are saying goodbye to glitz and glamour. It's rarely glamourous - it's frequently just tacky. Also, the all-one-color room, whether all white, all green, or whatever. Oh god, please shoot me if I have to see one more all pink Christmas decor.

[@cjmac2766]

Happy New Year, Garrett!!! And thank you for asking for prayers for Bella. Bella, I'm sending healing prayers and wishes that 2023 brings you hope, better health, and peace! Thank you for letting us know these trends are on the way out, Garrett! I'm glad to see things like the completely open floor plans and all white rooms and kitchens moving on. I love your suggestions to elevate things like open shelves and furniture pieces to stay current, and I also love your boucle sofa, so I'm glad you have thoughts to keep it and accent it with other current items. Thank you for all the great information in 2022, and I can't wait to see what you have in store for the LeChic fam in 2023!!! 🤗🥰🤗 Colleen

Great video. I’ve always decorated with lamps. I change them often and it changes the whole room. An easy way to update and renew a room.

[@GarrettLeChic]

Glad you enjoyed!😊😊😊

[@bonitadiablo]

My kids tell me I have a lamp addiction! Lol I love an interesting lamp and I do change them out depending on my mood for the room! Many Florida homes have very few overhead lights! Have no idea why, but so many amazing lamps in thrifts stores here because of it! I have been restricted to every time I buy a new one I have to get rid of one lol I may or may not have a lamp closet…

I agree that the all white, while simple, was not very interesting for many of us. And I love the way you layer colors that pop with neutrals. Also appreciate your kindness is sending out good wishes to Bella. It's part of what makes your channel special as well as informative and fun. Keep up the videos. We love them!

[@GarrettLeChic]

Have a very happy New Year!🎆

[@mellostation]

I love the look of boucle BUT as someone who lives in Texas where we have long summers and just HEAT, the idea of something so textured to sweat against while lounging makes my skin itch just by the thought of it. I actually see soooo many boucle furniture items listed on FB marketplace which really lets me know it's out of place here. Now, if I lived in a colder climate where I needed that texture and coziness I would def implement it in my home regardless of trend because then it serves a practical purpose.

[@GarrettLeChic]

I agree boucle is lovely, but not always a good choice in every situation.

[@brookeb9199]

My home is full of color. I have book shelves that are used as walls. I really love the painting behind you.

[@helenaneumann1872]

First of all, I wish Bella in particular all the best and everyone here a good happy 2023. One of the reasons I like your channel is that you stand up for sustainability and your ideas and advice always keep that in mind. I've never liked open spaces for exactly the reasons you name: Apart from the fact that the kitchen should primarily impress with its function, which includes good taste, I want to close the door behind me when the work is done. . Also, I live in an old house and I like that the rooms are a little different, as are the demands on them. Our moods and needs are not trimmed to line either. I've never liked artificial plants, so I don't regret this trend anyway. While I don't have an accent wall, I think they make perfect sense in one way or another. I hope more and more people think about sustainability. I collect Biedermeier furniture. A few years ago they were outrageously expensive, but now the price has plummeted in favor of overpriced midcentury furniture. The quality of Biedermeier furniture is great and although I'm cautious about trends, that suits me very well. Greetings from Germany

[@GarrettLeChic]

Thank you! Happy New Year. 🎆

[@sonjiarodis7473]

Sending you thoughts and healing prayers Bella. A positive attitude is one of the most healing power there is. So stay positive even on the hard days. You are blessed.

[@jc9716]

Hang in there, Bella! You and God got this!

[@claragoforth3645]

I still love my white walls - but I don’t like all white. I have a medium dark floor, wood trims, and a mix of wood and colorful furniture and rugs. White walls just show off everything else so well and also bounce light around (I live in a condo with only one exterior wall so want as much light to bounce from the few windows I have.

[@sherylboccuzzi9176]

I'm hoping those area rugs with the diamond geometric pattern are on their way out. They seem to be everywhere. Time for something different. Also fringe on rugs and vacuums don't particularly like each other.

[@holliwebb8071]

🙏 to Bella, positive affirmations coming your way. Can't wait for the all gray to go out, I love the warm tones and natural beauty of wood. Hoping it makes a come back soon!

[@juliemorvern7204]

Bare wall is my horror 🤪 especially as I'd rather live in an gallery, fake plants are OK if you kill everything - but if you have outside, have identical ones you 'spell' & switch out. I do like expensive faux floral in vases done by a florist well worth the styling expense for the florist. Exxy faux plants can work too if you get the ones that you have to touch Before u know they are not real...
