2019 Interior Design Trends For Home Inspiration

A new year always brings with it a fresh take on decorating your home. From new color ranges, pattern trends, finishings, and timeless pieces, 2019 is set to be a lively year for home design.

This year the top trends to look out for include warmer tried-and-true colors, bold patterns and prints, lush materials, and artisanal fixtures.

Here 12 of 2019’s hottest design trends to sink your teeth into:

1. Earthy, Natural Elements

Despite the tech obsesses world we live in today, there is a distinct shift towards bringing earthy, natural elements in the home. In essence, bringing some of the outdoors, in.

These natural, organic elements will include the likes of natural materials such as stone, concrete, granite, and copper. As well as plenty of indoor plant life.

This earthy, natural trend is set to mimic a primitive decorating style, using earthy tones and antique pieces.

2. Plush Velvet Furnishings

Velvet appears to have done a full 360 and come back into fashion in full swing for both 2018 and 2019. No longer is this plush material reserved for the ’70s and Jimi Hendrix’s waistcoats.

Today, this multi-dimensional fabric is being used in home decor pieces such as lounge sofas, duvet covers, and even curtaining. Look out for rich jewel tones velvets such as emerald green, deep blue and millennial pink.

3. Locally Made, Artisanal Fixtures

Top designers are making the move towards incorporating locally made, one-of-a-kind fixtures into the homes of 2019. Especially when it comes to unique, artisanal lighting fixtures.

Why? Because artisanal fixtures help to personalize your home unlike any other piece of decor. These beautifully hand-crafted pieces are unique to your space and will make your house feel like a home.

They are also a great way to bring in natural elements to your home, shifting the focus away from tech or gadgets.

4. White and Black Timelessness

Is there anything more timeless and fresh than crisp black and white furnishings? We think not. The visual contrast of black and white- harsh and soft- brings with it boldness and elegance to your home.

Some of the best ways to incorporate this trend are through cabinetry, tiling, soft furnishings, carpeting, and mixed and matched furniture.

Black and white also helps to create a sense of balance and peace in a busy or chaotic home.

5. Copper and Mixed Metal Accents

In 2018, rose gold was the metal color of the year, hands down! But it’s time for a more subtle, muted approach to metal accents in the home.

This is where copper and it’s mixed red and orange tones make for a more earthy, natural statement. Other metals will also make an appearance in 2019, including brass, silver and gold tones.

6. Warm, Brass Decor

On the topic of brass, another metal you can expect to shine this year is brass with it’s cool, yet warm tones for the home.

Where polished nickel and stainless steel were all the rage in recent years, brass is a more subtle, toned down alternative. It also fits in well with the earthy, natural theme for 2019.

7. Rich Statement Colors 

Soft, neutral colors have long been on-trend in the world of home decorating. And yes, these neutrals are a great staple without overwhelming or cramping up a room.

But 2019 is set to be the year of bold, warm hues. Expect to see statement colors such as dramatic reds, bold yellows, greens, and even pinks.

A pro tip: don’t forgo neutrals colors altogether, take on a bold color in your decor or on an accent wall!

8. Dramatic, Geometric Patterns

While geometric patterns are no new trend to the world of home design, the use or prevalence of geometric patterns is about to go up a notch!

Expect the geometric pattern to become a bold trend for 2019, with oversized patterns and plenty of statement colors.

Geometric patterns are a great way to make a statement in any room, but can also quickly overwhelm a space. Stick to key points of interest for geometric patterns i.e. throws, cushions, and rugs.

9. Millennial Pink 

Millennial pink truly took off in 2018, but this year, you can expect to see it incorporated into the home in new, creative ways.

This beautiful shade of pink is popular in velvet furnishings such as sofas, unique footstools, duvet covers, and even drapes.

The mixture of brass and millennial pink, channeling the bygone era of the ’70s is set to be hot for 2019.

10. Warm, Tonal Reds

Red in the home has had its own stigma for a number of years now. Too much of it is viewed as tacky and overwhelming, but just the right amount can truly make a statement.

Warm, tonal reds will be making a comeback this year, and are a great way to add warmth and contrast to your home. Overall this makes your space all-the-more inviting.

11. 70’s Vibes

If you haven’t picked up on this trend earlier, the ’70s and all its finery is making a comeback. Velvet, oversized geometric patterns, bold colors, funky textures – this all screams ’70s vibes!

Incorporating a touch this trend into your home is a great way to add personality and warmth. Stick to soft furnishings if you’re a little wary i.e. cushions and throws.

12. Florals, Florals, Florals

Yes, florals are nothing new, but a new take on this trend is set to hit homes in 2019. Expect to see exaggerated floral proportions, contrasting colors and a bit of watercolor-inspired abstract design.
