2020 interior design trends Archives

As the year starts to come to a close and a new year is approaching, interior design styles are ever-evolving. When you break down a cohesive style, there are a couple of key elements that can make or break the design. The different types of lighting fixtures you choose can really elevate a room or blend into the background. These are some trendy options that we have noticed recently that can easily upgrade your room in seconds.

Natural Fixtures

The bohemian style has really taken over the past couple years. We’ve seen this from fully boho to a more chic take; either way some people don’t worry about the lighting fixture as much as their décor when it comes to styling their retreat. To help maintain a healthy, relaxing vibe, it works best if you include lots of texture like basket weaving or bamboo. And keep the shape interesting; don’t be afraid to oversize your lighting a little to add drama since the theoretical weight of these chandeliers are so airy.

This one is for those who are still loving their lived-in home look but just want to freshen things up. Updating your lighting can make a huge difference in a space and if you keep the style simple but creative, your space can take on a whole new look. These pieces are pretty flexible in what styles or rooms they can be used in. Whenever we choose to use these modern-takes on traditional chandeliers, our clients love them!

Hanging Pendants

These are definitely hip trend that has become more relevant and sought-after. Hanging pendants often come in clusters that add visual interest to a room. Or, we see them in a straight line to fit and stretch the appearance of a room. We’ve seen a wide variety of these in modern foyers to farmhouse dining rooms. They mainly add ambience lighting to a focused area and are used for more aesthetic purposes.

As we pass the chaos of Summer 2020, we are embracing (with some caution) the new autumn season! With it comes new trends that we will be seeing in homes, fashion, and accessories. At A.Clore, some our best inspiration comes from the fashion styles that arrive with every season. This year we’re seeing lots of rich and antiquated colors that may be considered “outdated.” With this resurgence, spaces are being filled items that have an old-time-charm. Thrifting is a popular pastime, encouraging bold styles that embrace one’s individual personality.

And of course, we’re seeing this reflected in personal homes, too. Bohemian, mid-century mod, and modern interiors are all being altered to truly match the owner. This is great! There are so many amazing outlets now to draw inspiration from. Here, we’ll look at 5 prevalent trends you can expect to see this last half of 2020 and into 2021. Let’s get inspired!

Popping Colors

Classic Blue is Pantone’s 2020 Color of the Year! It pairs well with the other bold colors that are becoming popular. They all have a rich narrative and stand out. These timeless colors reflect the ever-changing consumer mindset that’s focused on longevity and value while desiring self-expression. We’ve seen these in new wallpapers and bold design choices. And when it comes to the all white trend, there are natural wood textures and green plants being added to imitate color and add interest.

Layers and Added Depth

There are lots of new design trends popping up that are insanely creative. Most are easy to do and affordable, making them great options to personalize a room! You can add interest to a room by imitating depth. Paint blocks extended onto the ceiling or covering two walls across the corner are some ideas of how to do this. Painted arches have also become a common way yo draw the eyes to a focal point without being an expensive option like tile or shiplap that we’ve done before. To add to the boho style that has become popular, decorating with excess plants, florals, and macramé is a fun trend, too. We’ve been noticing people having lots of fun with this, using uncommonly shaped wall décor like miss-matched baskets hung on the walls. This especially is a great way to add depth and texture to a plain wall.

Comfort over Looks

We are definitely noticing that homeowners are going for comfort over look. Especially with quarantine and spending more time at home, it is more important now than ever. This is complemented by recent furniture being designed to achieve both, like this simple, modern couch yet plush cushions. This is accentuated by the love of excess blankets and throw pillows. We see these made in the inviting, bright colors of emerging color trends.

Retro is Back, baby

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but the Rolling stones tongue icon is back. The vintage retro aesthetic is definitely in line with the new popular colors, just brightened. In commercial spaces, the classic diner theme is drawing in customers too. In residential spaces, we’re seeing unique neon lights with quirky sayings. As a popular decoration option, lots of wall canvases and wallpaper have a color block, art deco theme to them, too.

Technology Advances

Of course as time goes on, our technology is getting better. Smart home systems are highly sought after and new builds are becoming very energy-efficient. This is great for saving money and the environment. Modern appliances are great, like see through fridges with an iPad-like face, and everyone is adding Google homes and Alexas throughout their house.
