2020 not only brings a New Year, but also a new decade, so what better time to give your home a new injection of life and style. Whilst some of the past trends are sticking around and evolving for the new year, there are also some exciting, new looks that are breaking through.
BLUE IS THE NEW GREY
Pantone have announce their colour of 2020 as ‘Classic Blue’.
“Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.” – https://store.pantone.com/uk/en/color-of-the-year-2020
Classic by name, classic by nature, this elegant, clean hue makes for a wonderful replacement to the much loved grey backdrop to interiors. Create a stunning, uplifting feel to your living rooms by going bold with blue on the walls and large pieces of upholstery, adding strong, contrasting colours will really bring the scheme to life.
GETTING ABSTRACT
Taking inspiration from abstract expressionist art work, this trend create a fun, free and playful interior. Using bold prints, strong colour blocking and hand-drawn illustrations can transform any room.
Updating your space to encapsulate this new trends is simple, swap out your cushions for new statement designs like these canvas inspired prints.

GLOBAL STYLE & EARTHY TONES
Its not just our holidays and taste buds that are inspired by global influences but also our homes. Think hand dyed prints, decorative iKats, paired along side wickers and rattan to create a fresh, clean and simple design.

Use browns, tans, warm greys, and greens, with muted tones to reflect the natural feel of the earth. This style also works wonderfully with the line drawings in the abstract trend – perfect if the bold colours are not for you.

Accessorise your space with handmade ceramic and clay pots, and soften the look with pampas grass and the odd indoor plant.
