Design trends are always changing, and predicting what they will be is a challenge. But it can be fun to try! So in this article, we’ll take a look at some of the likely design trends for 2022. Keep in mind that these are just predictions – some or all of them may not come true. But it’s still interesting to think about what the future trends might be.
1. Minimalism will continue to be popular
Minimalism has been a popular design trend for several years now, and it shows no signs of slowing down. In 2022, we can expect to see more designers embracing minimalism in their work. This means clean, simple designs with plenty of white space. Navigation will be easy to use and understand, and there will be a focus on delivering content in an easily digestible way.
2. Augmented reality will become more prevalent
Augmented reality (AR) is already starting to make its way into the world of web design. In 2022, we’ll see even more designers experiment with AR in their work. This could involve incorporating AR into navigation menus, adding AR elements to illustrations or photos, or using AR to create interactive experiences for users.
3. Chatbots will become more common
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, we’ll see more designers making use of chatbots in their work. Chatbots can be used to provide customer support, deliver content, or even just help with navigation. In 2022, we can expect to see more chatbots that are realistic and easy to use.
4. Personalisation will be key
In the past few years, we’ve seen a trend towards personalisation in web design. This means designing websites and applications that are tailored to the individual user’s needs and preferences. In 2022, this trend will continue to grow. We can expect to see more websites and apps that are designed specifically for the user, with personalised content, recommendations, and more.
5. Motion will be used more sparingly
In recent years, we’ve seen a lot of designers embrace motion in their work. This has ranged from small animations to full-blown video backgrounds. While motion can be effective when used sparingly, too much of it can be overwhelming and distracting. In 2022, we’ll see more designers using motion sparingly, or not at all. Instead, they’ll focus on delivering a more static and simplified experience for users.
These are just some of the design trends that we might see in 2022. The designers at Australian Web Experts are always looking for new and improved ways to improve the website design packages that we offer. Every single year, web design trends change and evolve.
We think these trends will becoming increasingly popular over the next twelve months, in 2022 and even into 2023. It’ll be interesting to see how small businesses stay ahead of the curve in the website design space over the next year. We’re always excited to see new ways designers and business owners tell their brand story online.
