Interior Design Trends to Watch for in 2020

Interior Design Trends to Watch for in 2020

Each and every year brings new trends, new ideas and new techniques for the home, and while many elements of décor will never go out of style, interior design trends come and go.

Wall panelling

Kate Lawrence, interior designer and founder of Kate Lawrence Interiors, predicts the current popularity of wall panelling will soar to new heights in 2020.

“Whilst already present in 2019, wall panelling is a trend that will remain strong right through 2020 and beyond,” she says. “It is an affordable design solution that gives a space ‘wow-factor’, but doesn’t require a large budget to be able to introduce it to your home.”

Her favourite use for wall panelling? Adding it to your bedhead wall.

Feminine shapes

According to renowned interior stylist, Steve Cordony, we’ll be seeing more feminine silhouettes in 2020. Think softer and curvier shapes in interior decor and furnishings.

“Softer, more feminine shapes are creating impact with interiors and contrast perfectly with raw materials such as concrete and brass,” he says.

Look out for curved lines and silhouettes in everything from vases to floor lamps and seating, and then team them with bold, raw finishes.

Back to nature

Nature in interiors will be bigger and better in 2020, says stylist and author, Jason Grant. “I love adding elements of nature to spaces I create,” he says.

“I adore objects, finishes and furniture pieces that embrace the natural world; I’m always inspired by colour, textures and materials from the earth and the sea.”

To introduce the trend into your home, opt for pieces and finishes made from natural materials such as timber and stone, and take a nature walk to forage for fallen palms, branches or leaves in interesting shapes which make for beautiful (and free!) pieces of décor.

Concrete

“Concrete is set to be a major player in the 2020 interior landscape,” predicts Kate, adding, “and concrete finishes slot so perfectly into other popular trends like earthy tones, Byron Bay-inspired designs and raw finishes”.

Lawrence suggests introducing concrete into your home by the way of a kitchen bench top, bathroom basins or a beautiful freestanding bath.
