2022 Classroom Design Trends

Is your classroom a place that makes you happy? Do you find refreshment there? Each year, my goal is to bring you fresh decor designs that make it easy to create a cheerful, reenergizing atmosphere in your classroom! Let’s face it; most of our working day is spent there. So it might as well be a place we enjoy being in! In this post, we’ll take a look at the leading classroom design trends of 2022. And my top new designs inspired by these trends!

Throwback Themes

The groovy vibes of the 1960s and 70s are making a comeback! Teachers are loving the vibrant colors and happy elements featured in this Retro Vibes Classroom Decor theme! This is a theme that brings effortless smiles to all who see it in action. You won’t find brighter or more positive decor out there than this fan-favorite retro design! It’s available now in my TPT shop and my website store.

Bring Nature In

Nature inspired themes are highly desirable this year. Thanks to the chaos of the past two years, teachers are looking for ways to create a sense of peace and calm. A great way to achieve this feel is by bringing nature into your classroom!

This Modern Greenery Classroom Decor theme brings the tranquility of a garden or nature walk. The delicate leaves and warm green hues transport you to a quiet, refreshing place. A similar theme is my Plant Life Classroom Decor. This boho inspired theme incorporates potted plants and earth tones for a peaceful feel. Both of these themes are available now in my TPT shop and website store.

Another way to re-energize your space is through a Camping Adventure Classroom Decor theme! This unique design features elements from nature to make learning an exciting journey. It’s the next best thing to taking your students on an actual camping trip! It’s available in both my TPT shop and website store.

Calming Colors and Patterns

Other designs that teachers are seeking this year feature calming colors and patterns. Like this Hello Sunshine Classroom Decor! This theme is a unique blend of bright, warm tones and soft pastels, creating a peaceful vibe. Not only is it calming, but the sunny features make it so cheerful! You’ll have a very happy classroom feel with this theme. It’s available now in both my TPT shop and website store.

Speaking of designs that calm, this Calm Terrazzo Classroom Decor is perfect for a tranquil atmosphere.
