We can’t quite believe 2020 is here and with it comes all the exciting new interior trends. So, on top of detoxing and decluttering let’s take a look at some of our favourites, we think are pretty awesome.

First up is Refined Glamour. We have a huge love for the Italian sophistication and so all the European inspired furniture is right up our street. Their form, curves and lines transport your eyes on a journey of beauty. It exudes such luxury and opulence that shines through in the quality of each piece of furniture and material. Out with minimalism and in with maximalism so cast your eyes on this stunning room and take it all in…….look at the way this designer has executed exquisite lines so that you flow through the room effortlessly.

Moving onto a trend that we think will catch on fast, and that’s the use of earth tones. The colours and textures mirror materials such as wood, metal and foliage. Sage and forest greens, cement-like greys and wood beiges.

This year also sees the increase for cosy, intimate and soft looking interiors which link to earth tones well. It depicts a soft nature connection that encourages people to unwind and calm their minds. Accent greens are on trend too as they really represent nature, calm and sustainable living. To really get the most from these tones, layer textures to give depth and even more warmth to the room.

Lastly, this trend is too comfy not to mention, and it’s a throwback to the past ……. Canopy beds! We love dressing beds! Something as grand as a Canopy bed, and we’re in our element, as it delicately frames different aspects of the room without being too over imposing. Comfort, functionality and style, Canopy beds tick every box for us, yet balances itself with the rest of the room. Let’s not forget the encapsulated feeling of being within the light and airy frame. It makes us want to face plant right into the layers of textured throws, bedding and cushions. Definitely one of our top 2020 trend choices.

2020 offers a mix of new trends and we’re sure you’ll find some fresh, up-to-date ideas to decorate your home, or if you are need of some assistance and inspiration call us for an informal chat.

Together with my husband Barry, we founded Tutti Interiors in 2019, following a long-standing passion for designing and creating interiors.  Spaces that people could connect with, and were comfortable in whilst being surrounded by beauty.

Originally, a born and bred Londoner, I now live with my husband and two crazy girls in the North of England on the rolling hills of Yorkshire.  It feels a million miles away from the real world and is my haven of escapism.  Saying that, you can take the girl out of the city but never the city out of the girl, and so I do spend my time between these two different worlds.

Katie & Barry

I have owned two successful businesses within the hair and beauty industry for 15 years, a career that required drive, trust and creativity.  This is where my passion for interiors began, having designed both high-end salons. It was for this reason I made my career pivot and now do what I love!

It’s simple really, I adore creating interiors! I have a passion for design and style within a space. I love how it feels to enjoy a beautiful room, and I want to share that feeling with others. Understanding how people live, and connecting spaces to people is so exciting.  It’s this journey that provides me with pure satisfaction and enjoyment.

My style is versatile but if I was to box it up and deliver it to someone, I would say it’s simple yet elegant and sophisticated, I think great design should appear effortless. I am always open to progressing with new ideas, trends and fashions and like to work with clients to translate their vision. I also believe in collaboration with other designers and suppliers, I think working together can deliver something epic.

Client or collaborator, please get in touch if you have an idea that needs bringing to life, or you just want to connect over a coffee.

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.
