Trends That We Will Say Goodbye To In 2020 Part Ii

As we venture into the world of 2020 interior design, let’s take a look at what’s expected to fade away from the spotlight. With designers shifting their focus towards fresh inspiration and moving on from trends that have been dominating the scene for over three years, it’s an exciting time to explore new possibilities.

While there’s no need to rush into making drastic changes if you’re content with your current décor, taking the time to mentally prepare for a design refresh can be incredibly liberating. Join us as we uncover which popular trends will soon be making way for the next big things in interior design.

As the design landscape continues to evolve, it’s no surprise that brass elements are slowly losing their luster in spaces like kitchens and bathrooms. Last year’s old gold craze has already given way to new trends, signaling a shift away from the ubiquitous warm tones of brass. According to interior designer Kendall Wilkinson, ‘brass tones hit the scene several years ago, replacing the popular nickel finish that dominated for so long.

‘ While it was once special, the overuse of brass has led to it feeling trendy rather than unique.

The reign of the once-trendy Millennial Pink is coming to an end. A common phenomenon in fashion trends is that the more they’re promoted, the faster they fall out of favor. This colorful hue, which was all the rage in 2018-2019, has lost its unique charm due to overexposure. It’s no longer a statement piece when it’s everywhere. According to Stacy Garcia, owner of Stacy Garcia Inc., while Millennial Pink may have had its moment, pinks as a whole still have appeal.

Specifically, she favors watermelon-inspired hues paired with earthy tones like clay.

Accent Walls

While maximalism remains trendy, it’s time to rethink the emphasis on accenting just one wall. The surprise has worn off, and what was once a bold statement now risks overwhelming the entire space. Instead of relying on a single accent wall, consider using a consistent wallcovering throughout the room or painting all walls and trim the same color.

This approach will yield a more cohesive and balanced backdrop for furniture and decor, eliminating any jarring inconsistencies that detract from the overall aesthetic.

Palm Pattern

The exotic motif has been making waves in interior design for the past few years, manifesting itself through prints on materials and wallpapers. The iconic palm leaf design, originally created for the luxurious Beverly Hills Hotel, has experienced a surge in popularity – so much so that counterfeit versions have flooded the market. As with any trend, it’s clear that we’re due for a refresh.

I’m a self-proclaimed palm print enthusiast.

There’s something undeniably charming about walking into a space adorned with the lush, tropical pattern. But, as Alessandra Wood, interior design expert and vice president of style at Modsy, so astutely points out, ‘when it becomes overly saturated, its charm is somewhat diminished.’

Earth Tones

I’m excited to bid farewell to bland, neutral spaces. While I appreciate a clean color palette, I believe that combining it with intriguing textures and patterns creates a more dynamic atmosphere. Many clients fear that they’ll eventually tire of bold design choices, but I’m eager to prove them wrong by embracing a more vibrant and daring aesthetic.

As Maggie Griffin, founder and principal designer at Maggie Griffin Design, I envision a future filled with rich colors, striking patterns, and fearless design decisions. To achieve this look without sacrificing simplicity, consider incorporating a variety of textures, such as decorative hanging macramés, faux fur pillows, or thick knitted blankets.
