There have been a few consistent interior decor trends over the years that have held firmly onto their top spot on the home decor trend charts. Think of your grey walls, neutral colour schemes, dried flowers, or funky wallpaper that jumps out at you.
Now, there are new kids on the block, like patterned lvt flooring, sage and brown walls, wicker interiors, and pretty much anything that’s the opposite of what the trends have been up until now. Let’s explore some trends coming to an end and what they’re being replaced by.
From Neutrals To Colors
Neutrals have held their ground for many years, and some people will stay neutral interior decor lovers at heart. Kim Kardashian even recently took Vogue around her very neutral home and declared her love for it. Little did she know that neutrals are out, and colours are back. Gone are the days of cream carpets or marble floors, and in return, patterned brown lvt flooring, brown and sage green features, and anything with a pop of colour that’s darker in tone. Terracotta is what many interior design experts are calling the colour of the year.Â
From Wallpapers To Color Drenching
Wallpapers were a big trend, especially funky patterns like jungle themes or anything that could be considered a busy pattern. Not everyone was part of this trend, but those who took it to the extreme used wallpaper as a way to bring a pop of colour to their home. That pop of colour isn’t leaving the scene – but instead, it’s coming to the interior decor world in the form of colour drenching.
Colour drenching is the art of taking one tone and using it in various forms across the same room – literally drenching the room in colour. Many experts of the paint world are calling it a key interior design trend for the season, perhaps even the year. It’s essential to get expressive with this trend; use contrasting shades and two-tone split-level walls to create texture in the room.Â
From Dried Flowers To Natural House Plants
Dried flowers might not have been in the interior decor limelight for as long as some of the other trends, but they very much dominated the floral decor market for some time. The sunbaked colour that dried plants would bring was the dominant floral trend throughout 2020 and 2021, but now it’s time for natural house plants to return. Pampas grass will remain popular to some, especially those who want to stick to their love of neutral tones, but for those looking for a pop of colour, natural plants are the way to go.
Bringing natural plants into the home creates a natural, earthy, and colourful feel that many homeowners interested in the new colour trends should explore. Natural is best, but artificial plants will work just as well where bringing colour into the home is concerned.Â
Out with the old, in with the new, is how the saying goes. Not every interior design trend mentioned above will hold for long, and it’s essential to consider your own personal style and what you want for your home. Sometimes it’s easier to pull bits of inspiration rather than following the trend to a fault, moulding it to your wants and needs.Â
