4 Home Design Trends That Rule Spring
Spring is in the air and with it comes a brand-new year of the latest design trends. Entering into a fresh decade, the 2020s seem poised to reinvigorate interior design with novel concepts, the continuation and acceleration of certain trends already seen in the last decade, and the revival of a few old classics. Without further ado, let's look at five stylish design trends which are dominating spring this year.
HOUSE PLANTS
Shocking to just about no one, the trend of merging nature and greenery into interior design is continuing this season. Both aesthetically pleasing and a functional way to improve air quality, houseplants are wonderful for adding a touch of color and nature.
For an environment where growing plants proves troublesome or sunlight is difficult to come by, artificial plants may prove a decent substitute. While considered a bit tacky by some and lacking the practical benefits of actual nature, artificial plants still provide an attractive and low-maintenance alternative to caring for living plants. Plus, as an added bonus, they don't die. However, either choice is sure to breathe new life into your home.
WOOD PANELING
Following the trend of incorporating nature into households, natural materials are also in vogue. Wood is perfect to fit the bill and has enjoyed a surge in popularity over the past few years. Once often dismissed as passé or vintage, wooden surfaces have come back in full force and one of the most stylish and popular design choices to incorporate this material is wood paneling.
Tastefully installed using narrow slats, wood paneling can be a lovely addition to an interior space. Particularly pleasing under warm temperature lighting, wood paneling imbues an otherwise sterile environment with a natural warmth and cozy aura.
INDOOR GARDENING
For those not content with simple houseplants, indoor gardening represents a very ambitious and modern take on the concept of indoor greenery. Going above and beyond simply placing a few pretty plants around the house, indoor gardening requires significant patience and care to ensure a tame and thriving green space. But for those who put in the effort, an indoor garden can provide a striking and lush contribution to any interior environment.
FLORAL DESIGNS
Written off decades ago as old-fashioned and out-dated, floral designs were long associated with your grandparent's aesthetic sensibilities. But as trends come and go, sometimes they come back around once more. Floral patterns are once again popular and stylish, returning both to fashion and interior design. Floral wallpaper has reemerged to become a sensible design choice. But for those still on the fence, don't worry. The floral wallpapers of 2020 are not all the same as those of 1920. Sophisticated 21st-century designs and cutting edge printing techniques have rendered the floral wallpapers of today far more crisp and vivid than was even imaginable just a few decades ago.
Current design trends emphasize a return to nature and the incorporation of natural beauty into indoor spaces and there's no time of year this trend is more coveted than spring. Embrace the celebration of life and bring natural beauty to your indoor spaces today!
