New Decoration Style Trends For 2020
THE COLOR OF THE YEAR: LIVING CORAL
For 20 years, the members of the Pantone Color Institute
have come together to make an analysis of current and future trends and decide
on a color as a motto for the following year, which ends up influencing all
areas: decoration, fashion, design and beauty. After Ultra Violet in 2018, Greenery in 2017 and Rose Quartz in 2016, this year's Pantone
color is Living Coralor, in Portuguese, Coral Vivo, a color that adds lightness
and light to the new year. Remembering the vibrant colors of Miami Beach, it
allows you to make several combinations within the same palette. It is also
possible to use it on walls or on more striking pieces such as a sofa or as a
contrast to darker tones, such as navy blue, black and gray. Another option is
to invest in small objects or a key piece for the living room, to give the
final touch to a decoration.
THE RETURN OF THE VELVET
This return from the past was not a fad. Elegant and
sophisticated, velvet is a useful material in modern decorations, with bolder
and contemporary designs. The velvet upholstery of intense colors and character,
such as cobalt blue, bottle green or burgundy, do not go unnoticed and come to
give a new life to sofas, poufs and chairs.
… AND THE MARBLE
This appeal to the natural also brought back natural stones,
such as marble, which can now be used not only in kitchen countertops,
bathrooms, or floors, but mainly in pieces of furniture, such as a coffee
table, and accessories, like vases.
CIRCULAR AND ORGANIC FORMS
One of the biggest trends launched by the last Milan Design
Week is curved and organic shapes. From winding sofas to irregularly shaped
vases, round rugs or fluid-shaped lamps, without points or edges, anything
goes. The idea is to seek greater contact with nature, as opposed to the
rationality of urban and more rigid environments, in a trend that gives
priority to comfort without compromising style.
NATURAL FIBERS
The handmade look continues to be a trend, in lamps,
furniture, tableware, vases or even textiles. The natural fibers and the use of
sustainable materials, such as rice paper or ceramics, remain, as well as the
simple lines and natural colors, maintaining the Nordic aesthetics on the rise.
SUSTAINABLE FURNITURE
Likewise, handcrafted furniture, handcrafted and made from
recycled and eco-friendly materials, is an increasingly popular trend but gains
more refined and elegant forms and lines, proving to those who still had doubts
that they are the future.
MOSAICS
Some say that the biggest trend in interior design of 2020
is mosaic. Originally used on floors, in this revival we see mosaics to be used
on countertops, tables and all types of accessories, such as lamps. There are
even patterns that simulate these small tiles on wallpaper and even rugs.
THE GOLD AGE
Copper is gone. Now it is the turn of gold, which can be
seen in metal finishes - such as taps, handles or cabinet handles -, but also
in details and in conjunction with other materials, such as wood. Likewise,
everything indicates that the influence of Art Deco will be highlighted in 2020,
inspiring pieces of furniture, accessories and even fabrics. It is no accident
that round shapes and materials like velvet or marble are back.
FLOWER POWER
Flowers, especially with large designs, gain a prominent
place in wallpapers or textiles, filling any space in your home with life and
personality. In turn, tartan or chess, which has returned in force to the world
of fashion, has also reached the decoration and can be used in bedding,
pillows, table runners or wallpapers. Along with floral motifs is one of the
fashion patterns of this year.
DECORATED CEILINGS
Painted floor images are very popular on Pinterest (and a
smart way to avoid having to remove old floors or polish wood). But what about
ceilings? One of the trends of this 2020, which will not leave anyone
indifferent, is precisely to give “the sky that protects us” the deserved
prominence, adding color, wallpaper, mirrors or even frames… Does anyone have
the courage?
COZY KITCHENS
After the minimalist wave of recent years, the kitchens of 2020
are starting to look like other rooms in your home, which are more welcoming
and comfortable. Gone are the days when it was mandatory to line walls with
cabinets up to the ceiling. What you are giving are open shelves and cupboards
with glass (or made-to-measure pantries), to display flowers, books and other personal
items alongside kitchen utensils. An old rug and some pieces of ceramic or a
piece of art will always look good too.
BOLD COLORS OR PASTEL TONES?
Both. The pink quartz and the millennial pink have been in
all the pages of decoration magazines for the last two years, so to invest in
these palettes do not despair and try to touch up everything using blush tones,
which, combined with gray, are a trend. Bold colors, rich patterns and
textures, no doubt. Green, a sophisticated and provocative color, gives spaces
a certain refinement and is a fabulous setting to build environments where
natural materials reign and the return to Nature.
