INSIDE, the sister festival of the World Architecture Festival (WAF), the world’s biggest live architectural awards programme, has announced its 2022 shortlist, giving a window into interior design trends to watch out for, from around the world.
The 2022 shortlist, divided into 11 award categories, represents over 65 interior projects in cities including Sydney, Hong Kong, Brooklyn, Mumbai, Istanbul, Milan, Beijing, Lisbon and London.
Woods Bagot, Cox Architecture, Benedetti Architects and M Moser Associates make up design firms featured in this year’s shortlist.
Three years on since the global community of designers have been able to meet live at INSIDE, this year’s festival returns as an in-person event, in Lisbon, from 30 November - 2 December. INSIDE takes place in the same venue simultaneously with WAF.

This is the first time INSIDE has been hosted in the Portuguese capital, following previous editions in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Singapore and Berlin.
The theme for the 2022 festival is "Together", and as part of a live events programme, an international panel of speakers will explore and debate how architecture and interiors are responding to the renewal of collective life post-pandemic, and in the light of commitments to combatting climate change.
Amongst the Public Buildings to be shortlisted this year is the Victorian Pride Centre, designed by BAU and GAA to provide a profoundly welcoming and safe place for Australia’s LGBTIQ+ communities, whilst shortlisted Housing projects include a living space by Istanbul-based practice MAS for an art collector in Cesme, Turkey, featuring a series of porous, open plan living spaces, arranged around sculpted white architectural elements.

During the festival, to compete live for one of the eleven INSIDE category awards, and the overall winner will be crowned with the "World Interior of the Year" and will present their project to international judging panels including Olga Bolshanina, Linzi Cassels, James Grose and Li Wan.
"We reviewed everything from the fabulous to the austere, and found much to admire," said INSIDE programme director Paul Finch.
"Trends in this year’s entries ranged from the small to the large scale and included the increasing deployment of wood in both structural and decorative ways; the use of spiral staircases to improve circulation; insertion of nature, including use of internal trees; and an increasing interest in the creative re-use of historic buildings, many of them industrial," Finch added.
"Many projects focused on the flow of users in the interior space, with use of lobbies, landings and stairs for social and learning engagement."
"This was accompanied by an interest in natural light, the blending of interior and external spaces, and the contrast between stylish design and furniture and raw construction materials evident in walls and ceilings. There was also ample evidence of an interest with display: corporate branding, exhibition space, retail offers (both real and virtual), and meanwhile (temporary) uses," Finch concluded.
INSIDE World Festival of Interiors runs alongside WAF, with its own awards and conference programme and delegates have access to both events.
