The interiors trends you need to know for 2020
Springtime brings with it the ideal excuse to elevate your abode (especially seeing as we’re all spending so much time indoors at the moment), and to create a chic space to spend the season in. As such, we set about finding out the top interior trends of the season, with help of industry experts…
Embrace Eccentricity
"We've started to see a movement which we've coined 'eccentric country,'" reveals Kai Price, co-founder and director of Scandi interiors brand, Att Pynta. "We've seen this trend creep in more and more recently, as people want to give their homes an aesthetic that is full of colour and prints, juxtaposed with lots of artwork and paintings. A colour palette of yellow, pale pink and greens seems to be the most popular. I recommend looking at Luke Edward Hall's Instagram for inspiration on how to channel the trend."

Natural Fibres
We all want to feel more connected to the world around us, and it seems this is greatly impacting our interior decisions, too. “While the likes of velvet, which has largely reigned supreme for several seasons, are showing now signs of slowing down," enlightens Ruth Wassermann, design director at Made.com. “We are starting to see more diversity now in the form of bouclé, sheepskin and other, more natural-looking textured fabrics coming through.”
The talented team at Jeffreys Interiors has also noticed this texture shift; “We’re seeing a lot of more natural fibres coming into play, by way of new collections and what our clients, who truly live for interiors, are asking for. Think chunky linens and open-knit wool.
Homeware behemoth, John Lewis & Partners, is also catering for this trend in a big way. "Centred around creating calm, our Spring Renewal edit is a response to our increasing need to reclaim our natural rhythms, and consider our wellbeing," explains Philippa Prinsloo, design manager of homeware at John Lewis & Partners. "As we become more mindful of what we eat, how we exercise, and relax, we understand that our environment plays a significant part in affecting our mindset. By creating a look that layers natural materials and champions craftsmanship, Spring Renewal helps our clientele to forge a textural landscape.”

Sunset Shades
Much like the fashions this spring, things are taking a brighter turn. “While the blush pink trend’s popularity has transcended years, we’re beginning to see a shift towards a warmer colour palette,” says Kimberley Bremner and Carley Kyle at Jeffreys Interiors, Edinburgh. “Instead, we’re leaning towards spice colours, such as cinnamon, honey, and mustard, that create a tranquil but directional look.”
