If there is one perfect moment to upgrade your home, it is at the start of a new decade. After so many years with the same old design, now is the time to consider changing the paint colors, refreshing your kitchen, or adding a new art piece to your gallery wall. If you want to make a statement this coming new year, try incorporating these 10 home decor trends for 2020.
Hottest Home Decor Trends for 2020
1. Navy Blue
Navy blue is a versatile and sophisticated color. It provides contrast for exteriors and interiors in both traditional and modern home styles. Give your kitchen island a quick upgrade or give your room a dramatic new look with contrasting white trim and woodwork.
2. Floral Wallpaper
If the thought of floral wallpaper makes you flinch, then 2020 might be the year you change your opinion. It has been around for years and you’ll continue to see the pretty pattern but with a more modern update. Bold color, large scale, and even metallic versions are here to stay. Floral wallpaper is a particularly good choice in bathrooms and foyers. Plus, there are lots of stick-on options if you are not ready to fully commit.
3. Vintage Accents
What goes around comes around – even in home decor trends. One thing we are starting to see is a nod to vintage and traditional detailing, such as spooled legs, spindles, and other features we saw in furnishings from the 1800s to the early 1900s. But remember not to overdo it. This time around, interior designers are incorporating just 1 or 2 statement pieces.
4. Non-White Kitchens
One of the defining design trends of the 2010s was the all-white kitchen. But in 2020, designers predict there will be a shift towards spaces that go beyond just white. Expect to see more natural wood cabinets, shelves, and islands, all of which allow you to keep a bright and airy vibe without restricting yourself to all-white-everything.
5. Color-Pop Cabinets
Another home decor trend for 2020 is colored cabinets. Choose one or several elements (such as base cabinets, kitchen wall cabinets, or the kitchen island) in daring colors, like bright yellow, dark red, green or navy blue.
6. Canopy Beds
Now is the time to make your regal canopy bed dreams come true. Canopy beds no longer need to be draped in chunky headboards and heavy fabrics. Modern versions made with metal, acrylic, and sleek upholstered frames are making a comeback.
7. Antique Art
Make 2020 the year you start (or grow) your art collection. If any type of antique is making a comeback, it is art. People love the fact that it looks aged and that it has a story to it.
8. Patina Accents
One emerging design trend is the appreciation of patina and age. In addition to vintage furniture, expect to see this played out in color trends like clay and terracotta, as well as decorative items such as ceramics and earthenware.
9. Kitchen Art
While you are collecting those pieces of art, be sure to scout some for your kitchen. There is always a focus on making the kitchen a room in the house and not just a space for cooking. You can accomplish that by hanging art in the kitchen or using open shelves to display things that show off your personality.
10. Rattan Furniture
Rattan is having a resurgence. It warmly reminds us of our childhood and has evolved in fresh and exciting ways – in chairs, tables, and lighting. It is the perfect balance between modern and traditional styles.
Conclusion
From navy blue paint and floral wallpaper to antique art and rattan furniture, these are the hottest home decor trends for 2020. Whether you love to follow trends or usually try to avoid them, there’s bound to be a few ideas on this list that you will adore.
