TRENDING FOR 2022 – According To PINTREST

Pinterest just announced its annual Pinterest Predicts trend report, featuring trends it sees for 2022.

What trend do you think you’ll get behind??

Finpowerment — In 2022, people will take money matters into their own hands as they set out on new journeys toward financial literacy. Millennials are driving the searches behind investment tips, financial education and investment property for beginners.

Be jeweled — Gen Z is driving a trend toward accessories that go way beyond the basic earring, cuff or layered necklace. They’re getting creative and accessorizing the whole body, from tooth gems to crystal eye embellishments.

Dopamine dressing — People are headed somewhere over the rainbow this year with vibrant outfits and colorful palettes. From rainbow dresses to electric blue outfits, 2022 fashion will be all about feel-good fits with an electric kick. All genders and age groups are driving this trend.

Curve appeal — Curve’s the word. People will invest in home decor like curved couches, curved bar designs and curved kitchen islands. Boomers, Gen X and Millennials are driving searches behind this well-rounded home trend.

Night moves — The most memorable adventures will happen after sundown in 2022. People will turn to the quiet of the after-hours to invest in their travel bucket lists and nature excursions. Gen Z is driving this trend—good thing our phones take better night photos than ever. Into the dark you go.

Barkitecture — Pampering your pets isn’t enough anymore. Try animal-first…architecture. In 2022, people will redesign their homes with Fido and Felix at the forefront, from luxury dog rooms to “catified” homes. Millennial, Gen X and Boomer pet parents are driving this trend.

Batter up — Enough with the pie bars. Cake pops had their moment. In 2022, bakers will give us the badly *kneaded* cake break we’ve all been waiting for. People will craft elaborate cakes to express whatever mood they’re in, from gravity defying tiers to bubble and 3D cakes. This trend is especially popular among Millennials, Gen X and Boomers.

Relation-tips — Attachment styles. Couples counseling. Friendship dynamics. In 2022, people across all age groups will transform their relationships—with their partners, with their loved ones and with themselves.

Hotter wheels — In 2022, people across all age groups will give their motors major makeovers with decor upgrades and spruced up sound systems. All age groups are driving the searches behind this rising trend.

Emotional escape rooms — Emotions, so hot right now. If you need a place to go to feel all the feels, there’s a room for that. People will plan their great (indoor) escapes and designate rooms in their homes to decompress, vibe and rage. All age groups are driving searches for music-themed rooms, crystal rooms and even rage rooms.

Cuppa time — In 2022, people will choose darjeeling with a friend over drinks after work. Afternoon tea is more than a meal—it’s a moment, an aesthetic, a pose. Searches for “tea party aesthetic” and “drinking tea pose” are climbing across all age groups. Pinkies up: you’re royal-tea now.

Lake it ‘til you make it — In 2022, people will trade in their beachfront getaways for inland swims. Gen X and Boomers are driving this freshwater trend that will only grow in the year ahead. Lakeside resorts, pontoon boats and lake home plans will all be making a splash.

Kidding around — Who says kids have all the fun? This year, Gen X and Boomers will be all over playful pastimes like indoor swings, useful crafts and fairy bedroom ideas. Because crafts and toys keep the big kids young at heart.

Ancestral eats — Simmer down, experimental chefs — we’re going back to the basics. This year, Gen X and Boomers will say goodbye to over-the-top eating experiences and embrace their roots (or somebody else’s!). Gather ‘round the table for traditional dishes from all over the globe. It’s the oral history we need in 2022.
