As every year comes and goes, trends go in and out of style – and no one wants to be behind in what is trendy and what is not. So here are five of the top most trends of 2020, so you can stay in touch with the dos and don’ts of house fashion:
1. Simplistic Look
A popular mantra this year that every interior designer is basing their work around is ‘less is best’. Minimalism is in, everyone. Natural tones are in, from oak to ash and even bamboo. People are choosing to keep their furniture light and classy, with vintage accessories to decorate their desks, tables and shelves.
2. Lighting
In simpler times, the only thing you’d have to know about bulbs was whether they shone white or yellow lights. But that is not the case in 2020 – this year, the more unique the light source is, the trendier it is. Geometrically shaped lighting like pendant lights and chandeliers are appearing in all the latest houses of 2020.
Another big light style of 2020 is natural cut crystal and recycled glass (Go green!). Many are choosing to have free form lamps as well, decorated with silver leaves and metals.
While the furniture is becoming more simple and small, lighting is becoming bolder, bigger and taking up most of the space in the latest houses of 2020.
3. Conversational Space
‘Togetherness’ is the theme of nowadays top most stylish lounges and living rooms. When people design their sitting areas, they organise the furniture in such a way that it invites conversations and is easy to interact with one another. Big couches, positioned near each other, in usually a semicircular form, with a table in the center. The chairs are usually monochrome, or coloured too match the rest of the room’s tones – nothing patterned, as is the simplistic way of 2020.
4. Mixed Metals
Another look that is sweeping all the most trendy real estates of 2020, especially in the kitchens is to have a mixed balance of metals, from rose gold, to gold, as well as silver and even in some cases copper! Used in furniture accents, hardware and backsplashes typically – but make sure you don’t go over the top, and keep it, yes, you guessed it – simple. Take the time to make sure they balance each other out, and have a general matching theme and tone, so it doesn’t look too out there.
5. Balanced Earth Tones
It is said that your style reflects who you are, or who you want to be – and when it comes to home style that seems to be the same case! As the world is being turned upside down more, people are moving from cool tones to neutral, earthy looks – chocolate brown, olive green, yellow ochre, paired with neutral walls to give a natural look to their homes.
So here you have it! 5 of 2020 best home trends, which are fully achievable if you are looking to stay updated and in style.
