The New Year brings a fresh start as well as a bunch of new
inspirations. Interior design is no different, but what can we expect to see in
the new year? Read on to find the trends that will work their way into our
homes in 2019.
Colour of
the year
Neutrals have long remained popular throughout home interiors, but
2019 will see us shift from cool grey tones to new neutrals. Dulux’s
Colour of the Year for 2019 has been revealed
as “Spiced Honey” – a warm, cosy amber tone. Dulux colour
experts team up with design and societal trend forecasters to the select the colour
of year, “Spiced Honey” reflecting a new
mood of positivity for 2019.
The trend for barely there, warm earthy tones is set to dominate home interior palettes, from wall colours to décor and creating
warm, positive atmospheres. This is one
trend that can easily be incorporated
into your home without fear of being too bold.
Go over to
the dark side
On the opposite end of the colour spectrum, expect to see matt black
make a bold appearance in homes and interiors. Introduce this trend into your
home through lighting, home décor objects and sideboards to create a sense of
drama and edge.
Matt black interiors can give your home a high-end feel, bringing
sophistication and elegance to your space. Black is great for enhancing
features – objects placed on a black background often stand out, which is
perfect for showing off your stylish interior décor.
Divide and
conquer
The popularity of bifold doors and windows looks set to continue
into the new year, even making its way into our home interiors as room
dividers, walls and showers.
This trend could completely open up a space, letting in more light and giving your home versatility and
a modern edge. Opting for aluminium bifold doors minimises
the amount of shadows that are cast into your home as a result of their
slim frames.
Their chic, contemporary style will see them become a common
feature across homes in 2019 as more of us seek open-plan
living.
Technology
is everywhere
It might come as no surprise – after all, it is everywhere in our
lives – that technology in interior design is
set to progress in 2019. The rapid progression of the smart home has
seen multifunctional products flourish, and they could soon provide multi-purpose
home décor.
Use of 3D modelling and virtual reality could even transform the
whole interior design process.
Sustainability
Items made from natural fabrics and materials such as rice paper
will become mainstream in 2019 as sustainable living becomes a responsibility.
The move towards eco-friendly options has gained momentum over the past few
years, with 66% of
people admitting that they are willing to pay more for sustainable goods.
Look out for this trend in upholstered furniture, cushions, throws
and tapestries as people search for more ways to incorporate natural elements
into their homes. Embracing sustainable interiors will no doubt add style to
your home and is perfect for anyone looking to connect with nature.
