Interior design is going in a different direction for 2020—many different directions, in fact. The major trend expected for the new year is a focus on colors, textures and bold fixtures that do not adhere to one or two trendy styles, but instead cater to a client’s individual brand. Homeowners are thinking long term now, focusing on palettes that make them happy and furniture that will last. As personal identity becomes more important to American society, design will increasingly become tools for self-expression.
If there is one way to describe the interior design trends we will see more of in 2020, it’s anything goes. While signature the looks of 2019 and the early aughts like accent walls and all-white kitchens won’t be going away entirely, they will certainly evolve in the upcoming years.
I spoke with several experts, interior and furniture designers who all emphasized that when it comes to design in the next decade, individuality will be extremely important. Those into crafting, DIY design, or commissioning custom pieces, will likely have lots of projects to take on in the New Year.
