When interior designers were asked about the trends for 2019, there were a few themes that they took note of. First were the multi-functional spaces. Then, the increase in client requests for artisanal fixtures, natural element designs and richer color palettes.

If there’s a phrase to describe interior trends for 2020, “anything goes” would be fitting, according to forbes.com. Individuality will be an extremely important factor, too, when it comes to design.

Floral patterns, a throwback-turned-contemporary trend, is something people should look forward to next year. Though the design has technically been around for quite some time, the floral design of the past will look different in 2020 because abstract touches will be added to it. This will be a good choice for powder bathrooms and foyers.

GEOMETRIC designs can be incorporated in bathroom floor tiles and wallpapers.

PANTONE’S 2020 Color of the Year is versatile enough to be incorporated into almost anything.

According to collectedinterior.com, velvet will be a steaming hot trend in 2020. The color options will be wider, with hues ranging from blue, pink, burnt orange and shades of taupe. This will be popular for sofas.

As we see geometric patterns on anything and almost anywhere, there are times that this pattern is overdone. But fret not because 2020 will be about geometric balance. Stick with classic and contemporary patterns when designing chairs and throw pillows. This design can also be incorporated in bathroom floor tiles and wallpapers.

To create an intimate atmosphere, whether in your bedroom or formal dining space, painted ceilings are a good option. But the 10-30-60 rule still takes effect — base colors should cover 60 percent of the room, the secondary color 30 percent, then the last 10 percent to serve as the accent color. This will add dimension and character to virtually any room.
