The CASACOR SP event takes place between July 5th and August 11th. With the theme “Private Infinity”, the 2022 edition brings together the main trends for decorating homes, studios, lofts, restaurants, bars and cafes through modern architecture full of personality.
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the exhibition, the event is being held at Conjunto Nacional, on Avenida Paulista, a space measuring more than 10,000 m². To find out details about what is presented at the event and the main trends, we chatted with architect Danielle Carvalho.
10 trends from CASACOR SP
CASACOR São Paulo is just one of the event’s hubs. Spread across several Brazilian capitals, architects and interior designers point out what is trending in the market and inspire new ideas.
“CASACOR is a great exhibition of architecture, interior design and landscaping, it is a social space and a lot of learning for us in the area. There, in addition to serving as great inspiration for new project solutions, it is also a space for us to refine our vision and learn about new market trends”, explains the architect.
Therefore, we have separated the 10 main decor trends presented in the 2022 edition, they are:
1. Earthy tones
Annually, the decoration exhibition presents a color palette that is on the rise, this time, earthy tones gained prominence.
Shades of brown, nude, orange and fendi were the most used. They can be used in different ways in a room, ranging from a painted wall to a piece of furniture or a prominent object, such as a rug or curtain.
2. Madeira
Wood is also a trend at CASACOR SP 2022. One of the main reasons why it is present in both homes and commercial projects is its ability to offer a feeling of warmth.
This feeling gained strength during the pandemic, in which we stayed at home for longer. However, even after the end of health restrictions, having a comfortable and cozy home is still and will be a decoration objective.
According to the architect, some ways to use it are on the floor, panels, niches, headboards and furniture details.
3. Bouclé Fabric
When it comes to upholstery coverings, bouclé steals the show. The plush and soft texture makes the material one of the most sought after today. Furthermore, the elegant visual effect also contributes to the composition of any decorative style.
“The bouclé fabric, which was present in practically all environments (at CASACOR SP), such as armchairs and sofas, brings a feeling of warmth and sophistication to the pieces”, details Danielle.
4. Natural fibers
Another trend at CASACOR SP 2022 is the use of natural fibers in decoration. As the name suggests, natural fibers are those found directly in nature. Cotton, wool, sisal, linen and silk are some examples.
In decoration, they can be used in different ways, for example, coverings for chairs, sofas, chandeliers, macramé, decorative items, carpets, cushions, among others.
Using natural fibers at home also provides a feeling of coziness. To give an extra touch of personality, the tip is to dye these elements.
5. Handleless joinery
If in the past furniture had large handles, now it’s the turn of the almost invisible model. According to the architect, there are two ways to have a joinery without visible handles.
The first is to use “touch click” technology, where all you need to do is give the door or drawer a gentle push for it to open or lock in place. Furthermore, it also has the handle that is hidden in the middle of the slatted panel.
The latter reinforces the idea of hidden rooms and the use of wood as wall coverings.
6. Textured walls
Textures on the walls are also trends at CASACOR SP. Whether with lath, wallpaper or natural fibers, moving away from the traditional plain wall has been more visually pleasing.
In addition to improving the visual field, it also serves to enhance some style. For example, rustic decor matches a stone or wooden wall. On the other hand, a romantic space requires velvet or wallpaper with a delicate design.
7. Vegetation
Despite being one of the trends at CASACOR SP, the use of plants in decoration never goes out of style.
“Environments with a lot of vegetation present both decoratively and in large gardens that make up the space”, explains the architect.
In other words, indoor and outdoor environments can benefit from different species to compose the decoration, purify the air and bring a connection with nature.
8. Lighting with tensioned screen
Instead of LED spots, chandeliers and lamps, CASACOR SP brought a new trend in lighting: the tensioned screen.
Basically, it is a frame on the ceiling of the room with an aluminum profile and polyester fabric to which lighting is added from behind.
“It is a diffuse and homogeneous lighting, very reminiscent of a closed curtain receiving sunlight”, details Danielle.
This feature offers the feeling of natural light to the room. Furthermore, it leaves no seams in the ceiling, which contributes to a more clean.
9. Natural stones
As we have seen so far, natural elements came into force in the decoration. Therefore, stones are tools that can be used to cover walls or floors and can also be used in TV panels.
As a result, there are many shades and textures to choose from. Therefore, you need to know exactly which one you want to combine with the rest of the decor to create a harmonious space.
10. Organic shapes
Organic forms are those that have the original shape or as preserved as possible from when they were taken from nature. Therefore, they do not follow a pattern and are not symmetrical.
However, when the use of organic shapes is used in a piece of furniture, it can be said that it has an unconventional model. This year, the highlight is the rounded model.
“Organic shapes are very present in the exhibition, both in the furniture design and in the lining details, panels, prints, tapestries and decorations”, concludes the professional.

How long will CASACOR SP trends last?
During the conversation with architect Danielle, we asked about the possibility of these trends lasting or whether they will be outdated by the next edition of the event.
“Of course, most trends can be worn for a long time, as they are timeless. The widely used elements such as wood, vegetation, organic shapes, earthy tones, natural stones, natural fibers can all be summarized into a single trend, extremely strong and here to stay: Biophilia.
Biophilia in architecture is translated by the presence of elements in the environment that refer to nature, something that human beings have been trying to get closer and closer to, as shown by the countless scientific evidence on how this proximity brings a greater sense of well-being and promotes health”, he explains.
Do CASACOR trends change from one state to another?
“Some elements can always exist more markedly in each location, due to the cultural influence of each state.
However, I could see a predominance of elements such as wood, vegetation and organic forms in all the exhibitions, which reinforces the Biophilia trend”, concludes the architect.
