– Colour Trends for 2020
Home décor trends are changing as the New Year rolls around. Redecorating a home for the New Year does not have to be a massive task or a major makeover though, and considering that many home décor trends for 2019 have followed us into 2020, the job of incorporating new fashion trends has become even easier. We’ll discuss the home décor trends for 2020 first, and then we’ll enlighten you on the ones that are just as popular now, as they were in 2019.
2020 Home Décor Trends
While you may have renovated the house as the seasons changed in 2019, renovating the home for the trends that will dominate a new year has a thrill of its own. Here are the design trends that can revamp your interior this year:
- Smooth Velvet
- Biophilia Design
- Geometric Patterns
- Multi-Functional Spaces
- Curved Furniture
Let’s discuss these interior trends in detail now.
Smooth Velvet
Cosy and comfy homes are all the rage and nothing says that better than couches upholstered with velvet. While you might consider velvet a warmer fabric for use round the year, it’s an elegant and luxurious touch that you can introduce into your drawing room or formal sitting room where you can turn on the air-conditioning in the warmer months while entertaining your visitors. Another popular fabric choice for 2020 is leather, which is another elegant and cosy material to upholster your sofas.
Biophilia Design
A fairly new home design trend that emerges from the dangers of climate change biophilia design focuses on a combination of natural and manmade elements in a way that balances your interior atmosphere. One way of doing this is to set up a vertical garden in your home. Other eco-friendly options include using recycled wood for furniture pieces, or the use of natural stone and metals in renovating the home’s flooring and storage spaces.
Geometric Patterns
Bold and abstract patterns can bring a fun and whimsical touch to your interior. The year 2020 is all about geometric patterns and since symmetrical designs are available in wallpapers, fabrics, light fixtures, tiles, and almost every other décor, it’s very easy to get carried away if you’re not careful. This year, balance the classic with the modern, sleek, geometric cuts, and create an interior that wows your guests. Don’t forget to go bold and funky in your colour choices too! Ideally, choose a focal wall, or a specific room to dedicate it to the geometrical symmetry offered by home décor trends for 2020.
Multi-Functional Spaces
As workspaces become less and less formal over the years and more and more people begin working from home, a blend of multi-functional living spaces emerge where the lines are less formal, the interior is more welcoming, and fewer people choose to create a distinct home office. This shift is about to become visible in 2020, and if you’re redecorating a home for the New Year, you’ll need to create a central living area that reflects a seamless flow between workspaces and your other surface areas. Ideally, make working on the kitchen island a possibility for those days you can’t head into the office to wrap up your urgent projects.
Curved Furniture
A retro era returns with 2020 and its curved furniture designs. It’s a shift away from sleek and straight lines to curves that fluidly decorate your living room. From round-backed chairs and rounded table edges to circular sofa and cupboards with curves, circular and curvy furniture with a modern touch will dominate the markets and homes this year.
Home Décor Trends Making a Comeback for 2020
The above-mentioned trends are all new to the world of home décor, but as we clarified earlier, some trends will follow us into the New Year from 2019. Here’s what’s still trending:
- Earthy Accents
- Metallic Blends
- Floral Wallpaper
- Black Interiors
- Coloured Kitchens
Now we’ll move on to a quick recap of these recurring trends.
Earthy Accents
Staying true to bringing nature indoors, this interior design trend dictates the use of wood, stone, real plants, as well as the colours brown, green, and bright yellow to make your home trendier this year. Installing floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook your yard can also be one way of connecting to nature without adding indoor plants into your living space.
Metallic Blends
The use of metal indoors hits a new high in comparison to last year and while silver and copper have always been a favourite, gold also sees a spark in interest as people opt for a black and gold contrast. While metals can be incorporated using a number of small decoration pieces, including lamps, furniture legs, shelves, tables, and door handles, it is recommended that you do not use more than three metals in a single space as that can overpower and crowd the room.
Floral Wallpaper
Floral prints were in vogue in 2019 and while the trend has lost some of its popularity, it is still pretty dominant in wallpaper prints, alongside geometrical patterns. This doesn’t mean you buy prints with large unattractive bunches of floral bouquets and apply them to the wall. While being a throwback to an older time, floral prints have become more sleek, modern, and crisp over time, often having a single flower as the focal point in comparison to the repetitive prints of the past.
Black Interiors
Shifting slightly from 2019’s black and white contrast, one 2020 home décor trend demands the use of black tomes in your major living areas. In fact, black kitchens are also being considered by many enthusiastic home renovators for this year. While you can contrast it with white, try out other colour schemes with this dark hue and see what works for your home the best.
Coloured Kitchens
The all-white kitchen has been left behind and in tune with 2019; the coloured kitchen is trending this year too. However, it’s not just limited to the cabinetry anymore. Accessories, appliances, light fixtures, and even marble or granite countertops are available in a range of hues and you can easily bring a brighter and more colourful spark to your kitchen using a little ingenuity.
Colour Trends for 2020
From design trends, let’s move on to the top trending colours for home décor in 2020:
- Muted Pinks
- Neutral Greys
- Green Tones
- Moody Blue
Here’s how you can use these colours in your interiors.
Muted Pinks
We saw an influx of dull pink in home décor near the end of 2019 and the trend continues into 2020, particularly for wall paint and bedding choices. However, a darker hue can also work well as furniture upholstery.
Neutral Greys
Neutral colours will be trending in 2020 and what colour can be more neutral than grey? However, the trend dictates that you pair it up with other pastel shades rather than going for an all-grey interior.
Green Tones
While real as well as faux plants can add a touch of green to any living space, the colour that’s trending for 2020 is an olive green hue. If that’s much too specific for you to incorporate into your room, try adding wall paintings and leaf-patterned fabrics into the mix.
Moody Blue
One of the other trending colours of 2020 is a dark, navy blue shade that can contrast well with pink or grey to create a formal and elegant interior. The darker hue is a way to add elegance and deeper contrast in comparison to the light and airy blues of past years. From walls to cabinet doors, furnishings, to small touches of blue in decorative pieces, this colour is versatile in its use if used in moderation.
