Shining bright in the first place, it’s star-themed nurseries, with nearing 1 000 Pinterest boards dedicated to the trend and a whopping 267 273 Google searches made so far this year.
Close behind are two relaxing landscapes. Sky, with pastel blues and fluffy clouds, takes second place with over 400 Pinterest boards and almost 100 000 searches for inspiration made on Google. In third place, with more than twice as many Pinterest boards but fewer Google searches, it’s woodland themed nurseries.
In fourth, it’s the first fictional character in the top 20, and an old classic, Winnie The Pooh, and rounding off the top five is the hero of the 2016 Disney film, Moana.

“More of us are embracing home improvements than ever before. A lot of painting and decorating is going on, and so we were curious to uncover the top trends shaping one of the most important rooms in our home – the children’s bedrooms, says Adrienne Minster, CEO at Rated People.
"The days of pink for girls and blue for boys seem to be long gone, and it’s easy to understand why calming backdrops inspired by nature are so popular. This is echoed around the wider home too, with dark green walls, Scandi styling and macrame also some of the biggest décor trends for 2022 outside of the nursery.”
