Bouclé will be big
We saw this pop up in fabric showrooms in 2019 and this yarn with a looped or curled ply (or fabric woven from this yarn) will be big in the year to come. The fabric adds a dramatic texture and turns a drab piece into something a little more exciting. A more sensible follow-up to the recent faux-fur wave, bouclé provides texture and high style.
Follow your instincts
This was the year of instinctual decorating, basically design dictated by your own individuality and tastes than what’s trending. In deciding for their homes, people gained a sense of confidence in their own personal design aesthetic. Home design that showcases personal taste, warmth and is peppered with spontaneous pops will continue to be big.
The Japanese way
From minimalism to Marie Kondo, Japanese ethos continues to dictate trends. This year, Japanese style entryway called genkan will trend. This is the area that greets visitors, place where shoes are taken off and replaced with indoor slippers. The entryway has a shelf or cabinet called a getabako that is used for storing shoes. This style will be emulated in Indian homes in 2020.
Kanso homes
This means simplicity – focuses on the flow and movement of energy within a space. Kanso is one of the seven principles of zen alongside fukinsei (asymmetry), seijaku (silence), shizen (naturalness), koko (austerity), datsuzoku (freedom from worldly attachments) and yugen (subtle profundity). This is about choosing modest furniture or minimal artwork and opt for quiet and simplicity for your homes.
Palm imagery
Embroidered on a pillow, in a vase, or as a wallpaper, palm imagery is a major trend right now. The look is lush, natural, warm, and versatile.
