We may be way past the “new year, new me” mind-set, but as we welcome a new year, it’s important to give our surroundings a new look. This can be in the form of a new lamp on your bedside table or a fresh coat of paint in the dining room. You can also go all out by opting for a whole new interior design that will elevate your living space.

You may consult with an interior design specialist like those at R&M Bespoke Living Spaces but if you want to incorporate your own ideas, creativity, and skills to your project, these interior trends of the year are definitely worth considering.

Off Trend Is the New on Trend

We saw a lot of blacks and whites last year as well as minimalistic looks. This made bold patterns and bursts of colour off trend for the most part. In 2020, however, we are embracing off trend looks, especially if they reflect our personality.

If an interior design catches your eye but you are concerned it is an outdated look, go ahead with the look that you love and want for your living space. When looking at commercial interiors, go for designs that reflect your personality and preferences as opposed to the latest looks that do not align with your personal taste.

Countryside but Not as Rustic

The rustic countryside look was a big hit in 2019 and it’s getting a slight upgrade in 2020. This year, commercial interiors will glam up the countryside barn house look but give it an elegant and sophisticated twist. So, if you aren’t ready to get rid of your wall art and living room decor from last year, simply glam it up with chic furniture and elegant whites.

Sustainable Material and Natural Looks

In the past few years, architectural services have been pressured into using sustainable material and environment-friendly practices and 2020 will be no different. Opt for fixtures and furniture that use sustainable materials like cork, bamboo, and recycled rubber.

These sustainable materials will not stick out like a sore thumb either because natural looks are a trendy interior design look this year. Consult with an interior design specialist at R&M Bespoke Living Spaces on how to best incorporate rattan and cane furniture to look elegant while also meeting your needs around the house.

Colour and Patterns

You may need help from an interior design specialist to mix and match designs and colours but the right execution can result in a bold and trendy look that will make all your friends envious. Instead of going for similar colours and patterns, throw together a look that is risky and bold.

If you aren’t quite ready to paint your walls in bold colours or choose contrasting wallpaper, you can take a slightly safer route by choosing multi-patterned cushions. Another trend to look out for this year is unique carpets and rugs. We may rarely pay attention to the floor we step on but mixed patterns and unique designs in rugs and carpets can make a huge difference to the overall look of a room.

Don’t Forget Your Ceilings

Commercial interiors often look at the walls and furniture. The floor may get a carpet thrown on it but the ceiling is rarely seen as worth decorating. Even light fixtures hang a good distance away from the ceiling. However, this year, architectural; services will have to look up and ensure ceilings don’t remain a blank canvas.

One of the main interior design trends this year is wallpapered ceilings with bold patterns and colours contrasting with the neutrals of the walls.

Talking about ceilings, we will also be seeing a lot of easy to install and easy to use light fixtures that don’t require permanent wiring. So, when architectural services or an interior design specialist suggests a new light fixture, don’t worry about making it work with the current wiring in your house. Simply choose one that doesn’t require permanent wiring.

Reflection of Your Personality

The most important trend to keep in mind this year is timeless looks that reflect your personality. When someone walks into your living space, you don’t want them to see the latest designs and furniture alone. You want them to immediately recognise the space as a reflection of your personality and professionals at R&M Bespoke Living Spaces and other interior design companies will assist you in finding a good balance between trendy and personal.
