The joys of the New Year, as you honor Earth’s revolution around the sun, you create new resolutions, set new goals and of course, seek out new trends. Get a head start on your New Year’s plans with trends that will be IN and OUT in 2020.


TRENDS THAT ARE “IN”IN 2020
GRANDMILLENNIAL STYLE
The look is traditional design with twists: blending elements of classic design like chinoiserie, scallops, natural fiber rugs, topiaries and more with a contemporary edge: think modern art and clean-lined furniture.


BOLD MONOCHROMATIC
Monochromatic does not have to be pale. Colors like Cobalt Blue, Kelly Green, or even Aubergine can evoke monochromatic in a daring way, that is full of personality and elegance.


LAYERING OLD AND NEW
Clients are over the one-stop-shop design resources and are taking the design in their homes to the next level by getting comfortable with mixing and matching old and new and even purchasing locally made souvenirs while on their travels to help tell the story of who they are.


DARK PAINTED DOORS
Painting an interior door in a rich color adds warmth and character to space. Paired with great hardware, a dark door can provide an artistic element for the room. The personality exemplified by the color can be as fun as the stories of the people who walk through the door. 


ANTIQUED LANDSCAPE TAPESTRIES
Tapestries are perfect as a focal point for a room. These beautiful Belgian verdure tapestries are inspired by idyllic landscapes and bring the beautiful colors of the outdoors to the inside of a home.


TRENDS THAT ARE “OUT” IN 2020
GREY ON GREY
So much of the late 2010s was saturated in varying hues of grey – lately, you are seeing a demand for warmer toned palettes and rich accent colors.


PALE MONOCHROMATIC
The pale-colored monochromatic rooms with all the furniture, walls, floors and fabrics in the same pale color palette will be out in 2020. There is something called too safe and while it may be soothing or calm, it can lack personality and excitement.


INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
The world is harsh and cold enough these days, so people are looking for spaces that nurture and envelope them. They want rooms that let them sink into the important things in life and that don’t necessarily include bulbs.


ACCENT WALLS
Go big or go home. If you love color or pattern enough to cover a whole wall in it, be bold and just paint the whole room.


GRANITE COUNTERTOPS
Granite countertops are a thing of the past. Quartz is a great alternative to granite or marble because of its durability and ease of maintenance. The new styles of quartz are often mimic marble so well that for some it is hard to distinguish one from the other.


While your personal lives may need a bit of refreshing, your homes deserve the same kind of attention too. Infusing your spaces with what’s au courant can be tricky, but in 2020 we’ve got you covered.

Homeowners looking to do a little remodeling would be smart to review what's in & what's out for 2020. Always have to be thinking about resale when making these decisions.
