Sustainability, Key in Design
Today, sustainability has become increasingly important. As society gravitates toward more eco-friendly lifestyles, people are more ecologically conscious and knowledgeable than ever. There is a demand for an overall design sensibility as well as a desire to bring warm, earthy elements into a space.

Traditional Presence of Natural Materials

Fresh Trends for Bathroom

It also reveals that almost 60 percent of people either chose a freestanding flat-bottom tub or free-standing claw-foot tub.
The size of showers is likely to increase as well. Natural stone – marble, granite, slate, or limestone is popular for these shower surfaces and ceramic or porcelain tiles are also a preferable choice for shower floor and shower walls.
Non-White Kitchen
The kitchen is now the heart of the home, so any kitchen design should focus on transforming it into a space that’s not only for cooking, but for living, socializing, and entertaining too. Open-plan kitchens, which include dining areas and often living rooms as well, have gained popularity in recent times. If you have enough space, opt for a kitchen island that offers you great versatility – extra cooking space, as well as room for casual dining and socializing.
The all-white kitchens were a defining design trend of the last decade. But, designers are of the opinion that in 2020, there will be a shift toward two-tone kitchens. More natural wood cabinets, islands, and shelves – all of which allow homeowners to keep a bright and airy vibe without restricting themselves to an all-white kitchen.
From subtle, grown-up shades of dark blue and green to fun, bold hues of pink and yellow, choosing a colorful kitchen will create a vibrant aura.
More Than Just Table Lamps
Lamps, especially table lamps, have been an integral element of interior decoration for years. The year 2020 will bring new lamp designs and energy-efficient lighting to different homes. Get a swag fixture that compliments the colors of your existing interior decorations.
Lighting fixtures do more than just brighten up a room, they make a bold style statement. The wall-mounted and hanging lamps such as sconces and ceiling lamps will become increasingly available. These accents are ideal for anyone who wants to invest in statement lighting without the commitment of hard-wiring.
Bold Trim and Wallpapered Ceilings
High contrast design is making a big comeback. It gives an otherwise more monochromatic room a crispness and a fresher take on neutrals. Bold black and white feel fresh yet timeless, especially in graphic or Art Deco-inspired patterns. Colorful and contrasting moldings and trim can create a beautiful space.
Wallpapered ceilings are yet another way to incorporate contrast into a room. It is a perfect space for wallpaper as it will not get damaged and the large expanse of space makes for a truly dramatic feature of any room. Wallpapered ceilings will be decorating powder rooms, bedrooms, and living spaces in the coming year.
Biophilic Design Stays Put
The elements of the ‘great outdoors’ will infuse interior design in the coming years. The tropical trend for 2020 has evolved to include grounded earthy tones – mixing jungle vibes with natural materials and textures. Pampas grass is one of the biggest interior trends of the past year, and it will continue to adorn your house in the 2020s as well.
Biophilia is a new trend that incorporates human design and natural elements in a beautiful way. Over-sized indoor plants will contribute to your home’s organic aesthetic while promoting a clean, environmentally-friendly home.
Fun Prints Make a Comeback
Floral fabrics and wallpapers are other throwback-turned-contemporary trends to look forward to in the 2020s. Wallpaper trends today incorporate floral patterns of different sizes and color pallets. There is a strong attraction to vibrant colors like yellow and contrasting colors that will make your walls radiant. 2020 florals are an abstract chic rendition of this classic interior design.
The real embroidery, thick wool boucle, linens, and all other nature and craft inspired elements will be introduced into the modern arrangements. The unexpected and creative details like elaborately embossed wall coverings and papers allow surfaces to give a beautiful tactile sensation to modern ambiances.
Faux Marble Gains Popularity
Natural materials continue to be a trend, however, where these materials don’t always meet the required levels of durability needed for the modern family home; ranges of realistic faux-effect finishes are becoming more and more popular.
