Interior Design Trends That You Should Know!

This post is provided by Jenna Salter.

How we decorate our homes is becoming more and more of a thing of public knowledge. Our houses' insides are no longer just seen by those who come over to visit since we post so much of our lives online- it is like our homes are open to the public. That puts a lot of pressure into these spaces' interior design, which is why it may feel like trends change so quickly from year to year. If you are unsure what is expected in a modern home and want to keep up with what is in fashion, here are the top trends you should try to incorporate.

Use Plants For Decor And More

Plants are not a new invention, but they have been getting used in interior design more now than ever. Suitable for everything from bringing height into a room with low furniture to brightening up a corner that does not have much going on, a plant can change your room's whole look. When shopping for a green plant to take home, look for a plant that needs the amount of sunlight you can offer. If you make the mistake of over or underestimating how much sunlight you have, you could kill off a plant, which would be a waste of money.

Keep It Clean

2020 is the year we do not let dust or grime build up in our rooms! No more streaks on windows that never come off or dust bunnies hiding under our beds. Housekeeping is a top trend because we are spending far more time inside than we have before. Get ready to sweep, vacuum, and dust, as often as possible. This step will make your home and life look extraordinarily organized, regardless of what is happening just off-camera.

Colorful Lighting

Light bulbs are not just white or yellow light! There are bulbs for nearly every color, and each affects people's minds and emotions. If you need better sleep, go for warmer colored bulbs; if you are having trouble focusing, a bright white on might work best for you. It all depends on what you are comfortable seeing throughout the day. If you do not want to buy a new bulb for every mood, some light bulbs like the google smart bulb have built-in LEDs that allow them to swap to any color you could ever want.

Carry People's Gaze

When picking a layout for art and wall decor, a popular thing to do is create a journey for people's eyes. Instead of making pictures go straight across your wall, have them trail in a meandering pattern of different sizes and shapes. People's eyes travel over these; it relaxes them and makes people want to look at more of your pictures and design. You can lead their eyes wherever you want as long as you think before you put any frames up.

Bold And Brash

There has been a re-emergence of striking and bold color combinations. Although some may shy away from these looks since they can overwhelm meek people or small spaces, this design option can be an inexpensive way to add intrigue. Work so that you can ensure the bright or bold choice still works within your rooms, but have fun with it as well! Get a pop of color on a wall that would be empty otherwise, or outline areas of your room with a beautiful bold wallpaper.

It Is Not Just Looks

A massive push this year is that your home design can not be all beauty: it needs to have a heart too. Look for products that use eco-friendly materials so you can ensure that while your home is beautiful, it is also ethically put together. A lot of eco-friendly products can be beautiful and fit into any home design. Even though they are sometimes more expensive, these products often last longer and will look better than their non-ethical counterparts. You will be able to rest comfortably knowing nobody sent you hate comments for a simple picture of a table.

Not Everything Needs Frames

You do not have to frame every single piece of art you put on your walls. Sometimes unframed art can give off a nice feeling with its varied shapes and sizes of frames. It makes your home feel warmer, eclectic, and comfortable. Just be sure that you have a plan behind how you plot out your pictures. Otherwise, it could look messy and accidental.

Enjoy Textures

Have fun with more than just looks! A hot idea many homeowners are exploring is how touch plays into our daily lives. Get fluffy or velvet pillows, try a shaggy rug, get art with thick globs of paint you can see standing out from the canvas. By letting your other senses explore your belongings, you can give yourself a well rounded home. Going home will feel like going into a custom-designed space created for you to relax and unwind. Everyone deserves the sensation of being catered to or getting to enjoy ourselves. Just make sure you have some eye for where everything goes, and you will have a great time!
