Whilst the global pandemic may have stopped this year in its tracks, some AW2020 interior design trends have still emerged out of lockdown. As the autumn and winter months approach us, we’ve seen styles evolving and being finessed to suit our homes even more. Countless hours have been spent crafting the perfect collections that align with upcoming autumn and winter styles.
The key trends that the experts at Heal’s envisage seeing this season include timeless long-lasting furniture, sustainable fabrics and earthy tones. People are turning away from fast furniture and opting for more reliable and sustainable furniture that is more unique and durable.
This season will be captivated by the idea of living lighter. Conscious consumerism is driving people to buy less and buy better. Gone are the days of buying cheap flimsy furniture that will be thrown away when a new trend arrives. These key pieces will incorporate a perfect balance of solid wood, thick fabrics and muted colours.
During the past few months our homes have been transformed into personal gyms, office spaces and classrooms. That’s why the experts at Heal’s predict that one of the AW20 design trends will be multipurpose furniture. Whether it is the unique and quirky craftsmanship of a shelf that transforms into a table or the simple but equally exciting universal chair, multipurpose furniture is helping transform homes into a minimalistic haven for living, working and relaxing.
Colour has always been a good way of brightening your home and just a few accents means you can get on board with a trend – whether that’s painting the walls or adding a few key accessories to a space. Everyone has different tastes but there appear to be two contrasting palettes, one bold and bright and the other incorporates muted and neutral tones.
Colours bursting with depth alongside light and airy materials are due to fill homes very soon. From terracotta to deep greens, your home will emulate nature. This style is timeless and loved across the world so you can count on it being relevant for years to come.
Vibrancy has been painted across our clothes and walls for some time now, often going through phases of popularity. The key to incorporating these bold and daring colours into your home is by accessorising, from cushions to ornaments, this low-effort, high-reward trend is very attainable.
Standout colours such as yellow, orange and hot pink are all the craze at the moment and are expected to continue into the coming year. Bold colours are a great way to brighten up your life and your living room.
Materials are a great way to create an all sensory experience within the home. There are many materials to choose from, but sustainable materials are predicted to be one of the biggest hits. These types of materials are often thick and durable, designed to last a lifetime.
The best type of furniture is not temporary, by buying durable materials you can save money and the environment. Sustainability is not a compromise, you can still achieve everything you need within the home but with a green thumb. Whether it is recycled or upcycled fabrics, vintage hardwood or un-dyed yarns, there are many options.
Sustainability is a very important movement that has become the newest lifestyle switch and is not going to go away anytime soon. The use of natural and organic materials has increased vastly in recent years and it makes incredible furniture. For lighting, the increased use of LEDs does not seem to be slowing down any time soon. This type of lighting not only revolutionizes your room but is also low-energy.
Timeless furniture is as much about the design as it is the material, the piece must stay relevant and be durable enough to last for many years. Furniture heirlooms have come back into style as peoples tastes have changed throughout the years.
The popularity of heritage pieces with stories to tell has risen quite dramatically and has given depth to our homes beyond the fast-furniture industry.
This year has been the year for staying home and making our home lives as easy and enjoyable as possible, this has thrust the smart home and AI industry into immense popularity.
The lockdown left many people confined to flats and away from green spaces resulting in our desire to incorporate the great outdoors into their interiors. As houseplants are a common feature in our homes, we are now turning to wallpaper, materials and colour to get our nature fix.
Achieving both comfort and beautiful design, chubby chairs are the next big thing. This style is extremely modern and minimalistic, through the addition of this voluptuous furniture you can achieve interior bliss.
