For interiors in 2019, the dominant theme is that of sustainability and natural materials. Of course, there are some pretty gorgeous colors to kiss too, but when it comes to decorating the house, the emphasis is on the choice of clean and natural design. The most natural, the better. Zoom on the interior design trend ideas to explore this season.
1. The Scandi style of the 70s
For a few moments already, the retro is in fashion. This year, it's the 70's Scandi style. It's a pretty clean style with simple lines and a cheerful color scheme. Geometric prints and natural materials are also present. While the macramé planters are omnipresent and are complemented by rich accent colors and outstanding lighting. To succeed in this style, we must follow the philosophy of "less is more" and avoid all that is cumbersome.
2. Recycled kitchen
Recycling is modern. Sustainability and sensitivity to reality are essential. Anna Granath, product manager at IKEA, explains that what the company is doing has a significant impact on the environment because of the large quantities we produce. Thus, by using recycled materials, IKEA creates more sustainable and environmentally friendly products. Their ambition is to increase the share of recycled materials in their products to find new ways to reuse materials such as paper, fiber, foam, and plastic to give them a new lease on life.
This kitchen is made from recycled wood and covered with a plastic sheet made from recycled PET bottles. The result is a superb, darker kitchen. Wooden worktops, brass faucets and the presence of many plants create a feeling of warmth.
3. Mix the patterns
Another big design trend in 2019 is the mix of patterns, interior design, and fashion. To counter the minimalist look of a space, the motif is essential. This is not a single motif, but a combination of patterns mixed. in this way, we create a sensation of movement in space. The key is to keep the color palette in the same tone, for example. In this way, we keep the same level of softness and nothing comes out. Everything is visually balanced. Ordinary furniture acts as a blank canvas for patterned cushions while the white floor and coffee table works the same way for the terrazzo carpet. The copper wallpaper catches the eye.
4. Mid-century style
Clean lines, tapered table legs, and unobtrusive simplicity are key ingredients in mid-century design. It's a longevity design trend that suits fans of the minimalist style. Add some suspended luminaires for different colors and sizes to create a feeling of movement. Limit the color palette to a few selected colors and let the shapes speak.
5. The ceramic style
Style ceramics with subtle patterns and an artisanal element are also a major design trend in 2019. Look for pots and vases in relief and fill them with pretty flowers and fodder stems. The colors to be introduced are all-natural colors and light and soft shades.
6. Open Shelves
Instead of hiding everything, the design trend is to expose the objects. For example, in the kitchen, invest in Kilner pots of varying heights for pasta, oats, dried fruits, etc.
7. Natural and raw
Opter for classic designs, whether it's shutters, tables, chairs or any other type of furniture. In the long run, it will be more environmentally friendly than choosing more "disposable" styles. Look for well-made, unfinished pieces that will stand the test of time. For example, shutters are a great option as they keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
8. Art deco style
The art deco style is still a design trend in 2019. Who does not like the curved chair? This scalloped chair with soft curves is pleasant to look at and very comfortable to have. You'll also find this scallop shape in other rooms - such as headboards, sinks, and tiles. It goes back to the art deco era where it was visible on clamshell dressers, mirrors, and decorative accessories. Colors are daring, pair them with prints and patterns for a moving decor side.
9. Living coral
The Pantone color of 2019 is the coral rose. This nuance is comforting and nourishing. It energizes and animates the houses. Perfect for the bedroom, it can be easily installed in any room of the house.
These are the main trends in 2019. They are not very different from those of previous years. We always put on a natural look, functional and modern. Colors are allowed and mix them - mandatory. It's the same for the reasons. Recycle, mix and like!
