Re-Designing your Space in 2020

Creating a trendy and updated home design.

Current interior decor trends are all about functionality and creating unique spaces. Floral prints, wallpaper and colorful accents are just some of the re-surging trends that we're seeing in 2020. To help you spruce up your home on your next remodeling project, here are the top interior decor trends for the year. We've also thrown in a few tips to incorporate bold patterns and fabrics without going overboard! 

Top patterns for 2020 

The general trend is to move away from geometric prints and to seek new shapes instead. You can find modern looks that use 3D shapes, layered patterns and colorful decor that use patterns to create bold contrasts. 

Homeowners nowadays are rewriting the rules and mixing different patterns in the same room. It’s a style you can pull off if you use color to create a common thread that runs through the different patterns that you decide to use. You can also create a unique space by placing patterns where you wouldn’t expect them, such as on a ceiling or trim. 

Patterned fabrics, statement pieces and solid colors 

We're seeing a shift from industrial and minimalistic designs this year to what's currently known as "Grandmillenial style." It's about mixing the old with the new, and it relies heavily on vintage accents. This style aims to create something unique and personal, rather than seeking abstraction or perfection. 

Tapestries are great vintage items that are a must-have if you're creating a boho chic bedroom. Floral, medallion patterns and mandalas are especially popular, too. Patterned upholstery that uses soft fabrics is another popular trend for 2020. A boldly patterned sofa, for example, is an original way of personalizing a small space and creating a living room that tells a story. If you don't want to go overboard with your patterns and fabrics, break it with a neutral statement piece. 

Homeowners nowadays are not afraid to mix different patterns together, and a mix of color and pattern is a surefire way to energize any room. You can combine bold patterns with solid colors to create a stark contrast. Patterns can also become a focal point with an accent wall, which is easy to create with a tapestry or patterned wallpaper. If you have a small space, you can mix patterned upholstery with solid walls for a modern look. 

Top colors for 2020 

Gray, white, taupe and other neutral colors are out. They’re being replaced with bolder colors, including jewel tones such as cobalt blue or aubergine. Additionally, dark earthy tones are a popular option for doors, furniture and accents such as trim. It’s a trend that echoes the use of ceramics, earthenware and vintage items with a patina finish. 

Wallpaper is back 

Floral wallpaper is in for 2020! You can choose from a wide range of options - from modern botanical and tropical motifs to chintzy floral patterns. These designs are now establishing themselves as a staple of the Grandmillenial style. We’re also seeing tapestry-inspired wallpaper with sprawling murals that use soft, muted colors as well as landscape panoramas. Some homeowners are even using textured wallpaper to incorporate 3D shapes into their interior decor. 

There are some exciting innovations in the world of wallpaper as well, with new products that are easy to install thanks to a peel-and-stick process. 

The 2020s are an exciting new decade for interior decor with an emphasis on creating spaces that reflect your personality and having fun with bold colors and patterns.
