However, the social media fatigue is real, we’re all bored of escaping real life experiences, increasing people’s interest to invest in art for their homes. Art generally is considered a luxury, but it is essential for a well-designed home.

Art is the finishing touch within a home, adding the elements that are not achieved through fabrics or furnishings. It sets the tone for the space.

The impact of art in 2022 is one of dominance. Its resurgence holds a big impact on design. The most popular art styles to be trending this year are those of abstract, contemporary and modern with an increased use of sculptural artworks. These pieces tend to be highly textural artworks that add dimension to an interior space creating the contrast between traditional two-dimensional drawing and painting, with three-dimensional sculpture.
