2020 Trends

There are literately thousands of design themes and interiors, however, it all comes down to personal taste, room function, space available and ultimately the feel and aspirations of what you want from a room. 

Like fashion, interior design is subjective, and so whilst there are a whole host of design trends from 2019 that are carrying through into 2020, there is a range of new ones coming into fruition, so where do we start.  We take a look at just a few.

Colours

We’re excited to see some new trending colours in 2020.  However, the greys, pastels and neutrals are very much here to stay for a while longer, as these tones complement a variety of styles, and a room can be easily, inexpensively altered to stay on-trend. They are also great to use in another of this years trends, a one colour wash room.

If you prefer a colour, inject a vibrant colour onto your walls, or layer materials with patterns and textures. Sage green and earthy tones are working their way into rooms in 2020 and are great to give warmth and cosiness.

Moody paint colours, such as dark navy and charcoal set a moody statement atmosphere, and its completely on-trend to embark on darker doors and woodwork with paler walls, ceilings and floors.

Black is also back. A bold and brave choice, we will see a huge move towards bold and stark black and white rooms of contrast. Each tone emphasizing the other.

Wallpaper

Whilst botanical is still a strong contender, we are looking more to single print dramas in wallcoverings, and using them on all walls not just as a feature wall (they are also making a comeback in the bathroom too).  We are looking at bold statement prints and colours.  For some, this may come as bad news but features walls are very 2019, so have the courage and cover all walls to really pack a punch.

Nature is inspiring interiors in 2020. We love open plan living in the UK and that is set to continue, but also incorporates natural sustainable partitions to divide large open spaces into multiuse areas. The use of nature also induces a feeling of welcoming cosy environments.

The use of biophilic vertical walls and spaces invite an intimate cosy atmosphere within peoples homes, but make sure the plants are the real deal and not faux.

Layer, layer, layer in 2020, the old and new styles, textures in fabrics and colour palettes. Maximise a space and use it to its fullest and you can’t go far wrong.
