A new year means new trends in home decor. Whether you are looking to own a new home, or just feel like updating to a fresh new look, there are plenty of ideas open to you. As you start to build your plans, these are some trends poised to replace old go-tos in 2020.

Bedroom

Bedrooms see lots of daily use and play a key role in home relaxation. People spend a significant amount of time in their bedroom, and while much is during the sleeping hours, this means an environment conducive to rest and relaxation is vital. Your room’s centerpiece is the bed. Note that canopy beds are making a comeback in 2020, so it’s a good idea to keep your options open. Upholstered headboards, unique and stylish nightstands, bed benches and accent chairs can complete the look of your bedroom furniture. For colors, crisp new whites and soft pastels are replacing old grays. Accent your wall color scheme with rich and vibrant hues on pillows, rugs or furniture upholstery, or even try a bolder purple or blue on your wall for a complete shift.

Kitchen

Often the central point of a home, the 2010s saw huge leaps in thought around kitchen decor. As we head into the 2020s, the kitchen remains a popular room to update or renovate. The full white concept looks to be upended by new uses of color, either on cabinetry, appliances or as accents. Full slab backsplashes are increasingly looked at instead of subway tiling. If using tiling, try bright and bold colors. Brass, steel and wooden accents look to be on the rise, though the full set of stainless steel appliances might be on the way out. It’s looking like 2020 kitchens are all about customization, not the mass-appeal all-white kitchens of the 2010s.

Bathroom

Bathrooms present some tough challenges. The need to work with or around key features, like toilets, tubs, and sinks, while also being in a constrained space means more careful thought and planning is required. Still, the decor of the bathroom can be a key element to your home. Color remains popular, with clinical whites being replaced by concrete and marble concepts or even marble-look tiling or wallpaper. Earthy colors are joined by darker charcoals and blacks when considering cabinetry and accents to create contrast and boldness. Open-concept, free-standing and pedestal tubs are making a comeback. For standing showers, artistic and bright and bold tiling is trending.

Everyone needs the occasional change in scenery to brighten and freshen up their lives. One way to do this is with your new home’s decor. New design and style trends will let you welcome in the new decade with a fresh and vibrant outlook and give you a new lease on your favorite spaces.
