Like every subsequent year, 2020 predetermines more and more trends and varieties, some of which are familiar from previous years, but with a new reading. The fact is that self-expression is a top trend, and it is usually the one we follow as individuals. That is why we, as an architectural and interior studio, will not be ashamed to point out these trends that are close to our hearts and boldly use in our projects.
Color of the Year
A tendency that we cannot escape is the need and demand of the individual, returning home to meet the calm and balance that were lacking in a busy daily life. We have already paid special attention to the blue – Classic and Harmony, according to global and local players in the industry, which bring balance in the mood and atmosphere. But one of the less frequently mentioned color trends of the year, which we also recognize ourselves, is that of Dulux – Tranquil Dawn. If the name of the shade doesn’t tell you much, simply put, it’s green! Soft and delicate, this color is easily combined with the so favorite grays and whites, which we use most distinctively in our work. In the latest interior project, we choose it as an accent in the upholstery of the furniture.
Pink is back
For many of you, this may sound like a joke, but it is a fact that in its complex shades, pink is very pleasantly combined in the interior. Although after your childhood years you did not imagine the presence of pink in the home, we believe that if a few simple guidelines are followed, you will change your mind. Most of all, avoid tones that you associate with a barbie or a nursery. Matte surfaces in a fresh and light shade of complex pink (pink color mix with gray or red, for example) definitely contrast with pure pink with gloss, which we associate with children’s toys. The same applies to fabrics – the choice of velvet, wool or cotton looks elegant as an accent in combination with other more affluent tones to emphasize it instead of overshadowing it. The combination of metallic decorations in gold and pink gives a subtle finish.
Simple and clean kitchen
Perhaps it occurred to you to disguise the refrigerator and incorporate it as part of the kitchen cabinets, but have you considered hiding the entire kitchen part?
More and more households are moving in this direction, and the clean and minimalist design makes it a current trend. Small appliances and utensils can now completely disappear and the entire surface of the worktop can be freed up when you are not using it for kitchen coups. This is a perfect solution for designing a small kitchen or a combined kitchen with a dining room, so you won’t have to worry about your guests observing the workspace where you prepared their dinner.
Plenty of texture
Design is not only about color solutions. We are increasingly seeing the customer’s demand for a multi-sensory experience at home and it is very easy to complement it with a combination of textures. The accumulation of various reliefs and materials is a real tactile pleasure. This is a perfect choice for a combination of neutral colors and is a suitable way to decorate the room even without the presence of new shades.
Traditional patterns in unexpected spaces
Small floral motifs are making a comeback and possessing almost every aspect of design, with ceramic tiles, upholstery, and wallpaper just the beginning. The new reading in 2020 will be precisely their non-standard combination with various contemporary decorations and styles or their unexpected appearance in spaces that are not typical for this choice.
Velvet is back in fashion
Last but not least, velvet is a favorite trend that we personally think fits best into the décor through a beautiful armchair or sofa. Velvet has long been a symbol of luxury, and now many more people dare to add it to the interior, either as a characteristic finish or to emphasize their eclectic taste. Through the eyes of our professionalism, velvet in a good combination can emphasize the bold and refined style of the occupant.
With each of these trends, you can build both incredibly beautiful interiors and poorly thought out combinations. Therefore, our advice is to always consult a professional, so as not to create instead of coziness in your wonderful new home, a mistake that costs a lot. [:]
