Thinking of a new look for your indoor space? See the top ten interior design and decorating trends for 2020 in this D.Signers video:
1. Vertical gardens: While natural green was a huge trend in design last year, there are now more people looking for floor-to-ceiling green decor. Interior gardens cannot be missed as decoration as they offer spaces of relaxation and tranquility. You can combine them with wooden textures, mirrors, or other material that provides contrast. Vertical gardens are the perfect way to add shape, texture and color into a space. Be creative and include them in the living room, dining room, or even in the bathroom.
2. Black is a new neutral: Black has been a favorite color in recent years and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Black brings drama and strength to a room which is an inherent characteristic of contemporary spaces. From cabinets to sinks, paint and countertops, black will be one of the top trends in 2020. If you are afraid to use dark colors, include a high contrast color like white (especially because black and white will be the favorite color combo in 2020).
3. Humble materials and craftsmanship: Materials perceived as humble like rattan, plywood, jute, sisal, hemp and terracotta will be used in decor more than ever in 2020. This trend is a rediscovery of tradition and craftsmanship with a contemporary re-interpretation. use these materials in rugs, lamps, chairs, vases, baskets, flower pots and other accessories. The wabi-sabi trend and natural textures are still favorites for adding warmth to any space.
4. 3-D wall coverings: This trend is expanding beyond bathrooms into other areas of the home. Textured wall panels add a tactile element to any space without making a grandiose statement. Add contemporary-style texture through 3-D tiles, concrete tiles, PVC panels, wooden panels and other materials.
5. Classic blue: Imprinted in our psyches as a restful color and timeless and enduring, classic blue brings a sense of peace and tranquility to the spirit, offering refuge, and is elegant in its simplicity. Blue can be combined with warm textures and metals like gold accents or natural wood elements.
6. Marble: Marble has always been a noble material with striking veins and endless color and pattern choices that bring sophistication and glamour to any space. Expect to see marble everywhere this year. Whether it’s in s small vase, a table, or an entire wall, marble will add impact and timelessness to your interior.
7. Curves and organic shapes: Curves have been seen in the past year in furniture, reviving the trend of the 1980’s. Expect to see it everywhere, from architectural arches to mirrors and bathtubs, and it will remain trending for sofas and armchairs. Curved line elements help break up the rigidity of any space as they are unexpected and add interest as well as an unconventional shape.
8. Biophilia design concept: Biophilia is defined as a love of life or living systems. Biophilic interiors are spaces that reconnect us with nature. A biophilic design is more than just bringing the outside in; it’s about making and strengthening a connection with many aspects of nature. It’s about natural lighting, views of nature, plants, living walls, and natural materials, textures and patterns that provide a positive impact on our mind and soul. Designs that connect us to nature are proven to inspire us, boost our productivity, reduce stress and even contribute to a stronger sense of well-being.
9. Velvet and corduroy: Velvet will continue to reign in 2020. Consider adding another texture with corduroy this year. Both velvet and corduroy are an easy way to add opulence, elegance and sophistication to any space. Use it in ottomans, curtains, furniture, pillows, rugs, armchairs and more.
10. Matte finishes: There is something about a smooth matte finish that brings a sense of clean sophistication and relaxation to a space. The simplicity of the surface allows the color and design to be the focus rather than the texture of your material. Use matte finishes on bathroom tiles, kitchen cabinets, fixtures, handles, countertops, furniture, vases or any accessory.
