As we’re approaching the first days of fall, it’s high time to address this year’s important contributions to the world of interior design that even you can use to elevate the look and feel of your home. In addition to timeless vintage décor combined with the innovative sleek gadgets of the modern era, there are quite a few trends that have emerged in 2019 and that will likely remain influential in the foreseeable future as well.
Let’s take a look at the most prominent expert tips for interior design that can serve you well the next time you’re eager to make a few changes or give your home a makeover it deserves!
Materials inspired by nature
It’s been a green, Earth-friendly year all-around, so it makes perfect sense that your design efforts should heavily rely on materials straight from Mother Nature. If anything is timeless in any trend or design direction, it would be the use of wood, with hand-carved details, lasting chests and hardwood floors that give your home character and enduring beauty.
Leather, clay, stone, brick, bamboo, even worn-out metals and wicker can be used as the basis of your furniture choice, and the more unique you go, the more personality you can give your space. Hand-made, artisan items have been a huge hit this season, so you cannot go wrong with an authentic accent piece for any room.
Go organic
What started out as a desire to reconnect with nature through materials and colors, developed further in the direction of bringing nature straight to your home. Indoor gardens, versatile plants, and tall greenery have become the staple of 2019 interior design, and an inspiration for many people to bring a new level of purpose to their homes.
Interesting, earthy pots filled with colorful flowers are sometimes all the detail your entire kitchen needs, while a few sassy ferns and air-purifying verdure will bring your living room to life. Growing your own herbs, vegetables and superfoods adds to the trend even further.
Let there be light
The domination of nature has been obvious in yet another realm of interior design – the growing desire among home owners and experts alike to go eco-friendly and energy-efficient in their design choices. For instance, solutions that include solar panels and storage options show that one of the highest priorities in 2019 has become energy independence and nature preservation.
Large, open spaces and wall-tall windows that allow plenty of natural light in throughout the day, lamps that use long-lasting, durable LED bulbs and similar options are also a reflection of this growing need to infuse our urban lives with a touch of nature.
Play with texture
Sleek leather sofa neatly combined with a cotton, hand-woven throw-blanket and a fluffy rug might not all be in vivid hues, but they bring out a different feel of your room simply due to their versatile textures. And that has been one of the main ways to bring out your playful spirit in interior design this year.
Wallpapers, drapes and fixtures can all be the details that break out of your primary texture pattern, be it sleek, worn-out or matte. You can combine different fabrics to achieve the same effect, or mix and match bold and odd combinations for your bedroom, from curious bedding to interesting cushions from Australia.
Neutrals and accents
As far as predominant colors go, 2019 has seen a rise of mindful minimalism that doesn’t stifle your creative spirit. That means using color to express yourself and bring energy to your space without the overuse of variety or stuffing your rooms with too many furniture items. Clever use of space and pieces chosen primarily for a specific purpose are usually in subtle, soft hues, such as white, grey and beige.
These, however, are embellished with the help of contrasting hues that are introduced with details such as throw pillows, bed covers, art, rugs, and curtains, or even a choice of wall paint to give an edgy feel to the base color scheme. Royal blue, emerald green, crimson red and millennial pink have been used in abundance and with success.
