The New Year brings in new possibilities for interior design ideas. In addition to new colours, wall designs seem to be taking us to some far-off places and adding interesting ways to use old stuff. Furnishings are also becoming more compact while still offering comfort.
Those looking to replace a few pieces or completely redecorate their home have a variety of furnishings and materials to create the look they want this year. From electric recliner chairs to creative wallpapers, making your home comfortable while aesthetically pleasing is possible. This year gives the decorator and the homeowner much inspiration to draw on.
Keep reading to discover some of the best interior design ideas for 2019.
Top Colour
The top pick this season appears to be black matte. It is not only a popular choice for furnishings but of late, there is a lot of this colour showing up on kitchen cabinetry. The best way to showcase the colour is to use it subtly as overdoing it might make the space too dark. Overall, this style of having one focus colour is popular with bright colours too, as pink and blue seem to be trending for kitchen appliances and cabinets as well. Of course, things like white acrylic will always remain incredibly popular with kitchen colour and style.
Top Furnishings
Apparently, the current mode is to keep things very simple. Compact furnishings and furniture pieces that have a few purposes are some of the favourites this year. This is primarily because there has been a focus on urban style and living this year where the rooms tend to be smaller, so the need for pieces that can fit into these spaces, or alternatively, have multiple uses is very important.
Retro Design
Boho is a style that will always be relevant, but this year it is appearing everywhere. Those velvet upholstered furnishings will go great with any number of accessories. The great thing about this particular trend is that Boho chic can be layered, so you can essentially have a few furnishings and then accessorise with pillows, lamps, wall tapestries, and area rugs to create the right mood.
Terrazzo Elements
Terrazzo in the kitchen areas can really impact the look of the space. Depending on the colours that make up the stone pieces, you can almost create a mosaic design, which gives your kitchen a very Mediterranean feel. This material does not only have to be isolated to kitchen areas, as indoor patios can also be brightened by laying this particular material either on the floors or the walls.
Walls
People are no longer satisfied with just painting a room to give it pop. We are actually going back into wallpapering our rooms, but this time not with flowers, birds, and some of the other themes that were indicative of earlier designs. Instead, we are seeing fresh versions of wallpaper that display whole murals of some picturesque part of life, whether it is a waterfall or a forest. Some of these wallpapers are quite interesting to look at when styled with other furnishings.
Going Green
This green platform is mostly showing up in appliances that allow us to use more energy without impacting the environment. Refrigerators, for example, are just a few of the appliances that are a part of a trend to provide consumers with requisite space without consuming so much energy. Then, there are ventilation systems that allow Australians to conserve more heat and air in the summer. These are major purchases, but down the line, they can save consumers heaps on energy costs.
A Lot Going On This Season
These are just a few of the trends to watch out for this season. Prospective designers and homeowners alike will find that this year they are going to find materials, textures, and colours will be fun to play with while at the same time holding onto some of the classical trends that can really define space. Whether you get whimsical or get serious, this year’s designs give homeowners the palette and materials to work with.
