While every homeowner wants their home looking chic, keeping a tab on the latest décor trends can be a burden.
We have narrowed down a few decor ideas that you should not miss in 2020.
Floral Wallpaper
Although floral wallpaper has been around for decades, the latest 2020 decor trends come with vibrant and appealing contrasting colors, designed to bring a chic look to any contemporary home.
You can add a touch of personality to your modern dining room with flowery moody peonies or brighten your bedroom with an accent of wildflowers. Liven-up your living space and give it an aura of natural beauty with wilder tropical prints.
Give your bathrooms and ceilings a fresh statement look with overly bold wallpapers.
Overall, earth and green tones have been trending this year.
Curvy Shapes
Curved furnishings bring out a bolder, relaxed, and modern style.
Whether fully circular or rounded, this sinuous shape lends a charming looking to every room. From settees to accent chairs to dressers, well-curved furniture brings elegance to any space.
Additionally, curved furnishings add softness to a room by offsetting the straight lines and creating a harmonious space.
Make a focal point with bigger well-elaborated curved furnishings like stools. For example, in small rooms, try a round ottoman instead of the usual coffee table.
Mixing and matching furniture
Furniture with different colors, themes, and styles creates a refreshing and uniquely intriguing look.
Use simple color palettes that complement each other like two accents and two neutral shades to color tie the furniture together. Using complementing colors ensures the overall spaces retain its allure.
Avoid large patterns; they make the space look erratic; instead, opt for subtle patterns to ensure cohesion with the other space décor.
However, don’t be afraid to be daring when mixing and matching unrelated furniture.
For example, pair-up Lucite chairs with an antique farmhouse table or under your ornate desk put a sleek bench.
Remember, the trick is fashioning a blend of pieces that mirrors your taste and personal style.
Artwork
Artwork is a free-spirited and fun look in any room.
With hand-drawn sketches, bold geometric patterns, and playful and colorful blocks, artwork expresses our unique personality. Also, it sets a particular mood and evokes emotions.
Punchy colors like a burnished red combined with mustard or navy trends and bold patterns lend a good-humored approach to your décor.
Japanese Designs
Well, the fascination and alluring beauty of Japanese designs have taken over the 2020 decor year.
From stylized oriental prints to refined bird motifs, well-thought-out furniture contours, and rich silky textures, Japanese designers have a sophisticated, yet simple approach to making any space a welcoming sanctuary.
For example, a bamboo floor lamp adds a calm serenity and soft ambient light.
For effortless beauty, use dark pieces with patterns and add calming tones like light gray, pale blue, or muted green with an accented richer shade like emerald, indigo, black, or rust.
Layered Rugs
Layered rugs offer a fabulous way of doubling your room’s depth and texture while bestowing a cozy feel and look.
You can glam up any floor, even epoxy flooring, using contrasting décor of a smaller version of rugs for a luxurious feel. Create a focal point by opting for smaller rugs instead of larger ones.
Choose muted earth palettes that compliment your overall décor. Earth tones like yellow ochre, olive green, and burnt orange create a calming effect.
With smaller rugs, you can effortlessly move around, put backup, and fashion it to beautify your room.
Woven Wall Hangings
Woven wall hangings create a chilled-out, comfy, and calm atmosphere for regenerating and resting. Wall hangings also bring a touch of elegance and detail to boring walls.
Use wall hanging with luxurious finishing, natural pearls, and other unique features. You can design the other room décor around the contour, savor, and colors of the woven hangings.
Wall hangings come in various sizes, patterns, shapes, and colors. Get creative and pick a chic style that blends with your personality and style for a visually appealing look.
For example, spruce blank walls with rustic, traditional, coastal, and boho styles.
Biophilic Design
Incorporate natural elements like vegetation, light, and materials to blend with your contemporary décor for an added visual interest.
Bringing elements of nature indirectly or directly to your home has health benefits and livens up the environment.
Biophilic designs balance heart rates, levels of blood pressure, and decrease stress. Also, green décor boosts overall welfare, including creativity and efficiency.
To incorporate direct nature experience, build indoor fountains, embrace natural light, indoor gardens, and living walls. Think potted plants, wreaths, and dried stems.
For indirect nature, experience opts to decorate your wall with artistic wild images and use recycled natural materials like metals.
