Building a home is just the first step – once it becomes yours, you will continue to personalize the interior over the years. Interior design is ever changing and evolving, and the trends can give you brilliant ideas for your own home décor.
If you are planning to build a custom home in 2020, take a look at what the experts are predicting will be the hottest looks for the new year and beyond.
Interior Design Trends
- Enter Abstract Art: Although understated and minimalist has ruled the designer world for some time now, color and abstract design is poised to once again take its rightful place. However, it is no longer relegated to art work hanging on the wall – artistic designs are making their way onto area rugs, tile backsplashes, and even creatively painted walls. The best part about this trend is that it easily fits into a Sarasota contemporary style home. Without too much effort, a wild rug can be added to your glass and chrome living room, and the whole ambiance will be immediately transformed.
- Retro, Vintage Chic: If you loved the design style of the 50’s and 60’s, your time has come back around. Stylists are channeling their inner retro and combining glam and bohemian, colors and undertones for fun and nostalgic compilations. Let your spirit free and design the room you always wanted, but didn’t know it was cool to design.
- Texture Makes a Comeback: Another casualty of the minimalist, clean designs was texture – but this too is working its way back into the hottest designs. Boucle (looped yarn) rugs are back in style, and easily added dimension and warmth to any room. Textured walls, pillows, upholstery – use your imagination and you’ll find a myriad of ways to add this designer touch in your home.
- Accents Get Bolder: In recent years we have seen accent walls and accent pillows. But in 2020, interior design professionals predict that the accent pieces will take center stage – imagine a white room with a bold red couch. The accent pieces are staged to be the focal point of the room, not a secondary statement – so get bold, and accentuate your favorite colors.
- Earthy, Organic Materials: Rattan, jute, wood, stone, terracotta – anything down to earth and warm in tone is considered to be a trendy choice for 2020. While experts are looking at overall trends, these materials blend especially well with South Florida homes which already often showcase these types of elements. Add a bamboo rug, stone furniture and some exotic local orchids, and you’ll be immersed in this trend.
- Indoor Garden Oases: Part green, part designer – there are many ways to create an indoor garden. Hydroponic herb or living walls are a dramatic addition to any home; while large potted plants are perfect for rooms with soaring ceilings. Turn your sunroom into a tropical oasis with tropical flowers and pygmy palms. Add small fountains or water walls and your nirvana is complete.
- Marble Reimagined: Marble has been a mainstay of design for some time now, but it has been sleek and polished. Rough hewn stone is the new trend for 2020, without all of the refinement of the past. A chuck of rough marble becomes a coffee table in 2020 designed homes – are you bold enough to bring this confident stone into your living space?
