Written by Thom Emerson

Is your new year’s resolution to give your home a much-needed makeover? Do you need tips on what is hot and what is not? Read our top interior design trends for 2020 and bring a new feeling of vitality to your home.

1. Pure and Simple

Say goodbye to unwanted clutter, and create a stylish space, where less is more! What better excuse to have a good old clear out? Create this look by choosing warm, soft, neutral colours such as natural buff or oatmeal. Consider adding depth by using an accent colour such as Dulux’s colour of the year for 2020 – Tranquil Dawn. Select furniture with a slightly rustic feel, and accessorize with neutral, warm, soft fabrics. Add a lovely, thick, natural rug for that final finishing touch.

2. Retro Chic

Retro continues to be on-trend this year. Blend styles from the 1920s, 1930s and the 1970s, to achieve the look for 2020. Think disco meets the Charleston and mix decadent shag pile rugs with Art Deco statement-furniture. Decorate your home in luxurious tones of deep ruby red or royal blue and accessorize with hints of gold and bronze. Don’t hold back on the bling, make your room sparkle with jewelled lampshades!

3. Abstract Lines

If you like blocks of bold colour, then the Abstract look could be perfect for your 2020 home makeover. Unleash your artistic personality, and mix curves creatively with clean straight lines. Play with colours by combining mustard with mauve or burnished red with blue. Accessorize existing furniture with brightly coloured, geometric patterned, cushions.

If your front door is in need of replacing, consider upgrading your front door to a high-performance composite door. Thanks to a range of contemporary designs, combined with an inviting range of abstract glazing patterns to choose from, the abstract look can be achieved both inside your home and out.

4. Stylishly Smart

If you enjoy living your life with modern-day technology, then this look is made for you! This look stylishly combines traditional home comforts with the latest technology. Furnish your rooms with minimalistic, neutral-toned furniture, and decorate using pastel colours. To add warmth and comfort, accessorize with soft, tactile cushions, blankets or throws. Complete the look by using smart technology home assistants and devices as your statement objects.

5. Nurture Nature

Bring the outside into your home and embrace the wonder of nature! Choose neutral colours such as stone and beige, and sensitively mix them with rich, earthy colours of deep green or brown.  Carefully choose statement pieces of furniture, and wherever possible make sure they are sourced from sustainable materials. Rich, leafy plants will not only give you that final flourish but will also improve your air quality too!

Don’t forget the outside of your house too. If really want to achieve that natural look and your windows or doors need replacing, then the natural wood grain finish of timber windows or doors should be considered.
