We wish you inspiration and joy in the new year!
Materials and textures
Every year we see new approaches to “eternal” materials in the interior: glass, stone, wood and metal. These materials are the foundation of any stylish interior and 2019 is no exception. Let's talk about what variations of these materials are especially relevant.
Glass
Durable tempered glass has long left the ranks of unsafe and short-lived materials. The design of a modern interior cannot be imagined without many glass details. In 2019, at the peak of popularity, there will be decorative inserts and countertops with a texture that repeats circles or ripples in the water, ice and a veined ornament similar to natural marble. In addition, next year interior partitions or parts of the wall in the interior of the living room and kitchen, made of square blocks made of thick, translucent glass, will return to fashion. The interiors rested for a long time from such a design, and now it is gaining popularity again.
Wood
Material such as wood simply cannot go out of fashion. In combination with glass, metal and concrete, it will be a hit in the interior design of 2019. And it will find application in a variety of styles: from minimalism to the author's interpretations of Art Deco. Despite the fact that oak does not lose popularity, light and especially bleached wood is no longer in trend. It will be replaced by dark tones and rustic wood textures. The shade of wenge will be especially popular.

Stone and decoration materials
The fashionable trend in the decoration of floors, walls, countertops and other surfaces and decorative elements, which designers have long loved and has come into fashion more than once, is Terrazzo. This is a variant of a seamless mosaic coating made of natural materials, which is a lime or cement base with the inclusion of particles of marble, glass, quartz, granite and other types of decorative stone. Stone chips of various shapes and sizes give the surfaces a lively dynamic due to an effect similar to confetti. In 2019, Terrazzo will even occur in the form of prints for textiles, so already at the beginning of the year we can say that this trend will be, perhaps, one of the most popular. Other materials that appeared in the interiors from leading design agencies are terracotta and dark marble. They will also be in great demand for interior decoration in 2019, but Subway tiles in the decoration of the kitchen, bathroom and individual walls have completely lost relevance, and it is time to say goodbye to this trend. Concrete is another material that rapidly gained popularity during 2018, and was used not only as a finishing material, but for the production of designer furniture and the manufacture of decorative accessories. In 2019, concrete continues to gain popularity and will penetrate further and further “beyond the construction site,” because it is easy to combine with a variety of materials and styles. Concrete will enter the house in the form of countertops, consoles, bases for armchairs, coffee and coffee tables, for wall decoration and in the form of designer lamps. Geometric concrete tiles are becoming more popular, and designers say that this trend will last the next couple of years among the hottest.

Metal
Rose gold was one of the most popular areas of decor in 2018, but this trend will leave us with the outgoing year and, according to the designers, will come back soon. The abundance of rose gold is being replaced by copper. Copper accents will “warm” the interior thanks to the reddish-orange tone, but now they will be without mirror polish, from the abundance of which we, frankly, at one time, also managed to get tired. In the new year, copper elements of a natural, muted, reddish-earthy tone will be popular. An exception is the use of copper with raw, porous concrete, where polished surfaces are still present to give the combination an emphasized contrast.
