Restyle Your Home for the New Year
Sam Lutz • Jan 13, 2020
The 2010s saw an uptick in modern interiors, bringing in clean lines and simple looks to decor and furniture, so what does the new decade have in store? Restyle your home for the new year with the latest trends.
Alternatives to an All-White Kitchen
We’ve lost track of how long white tones reigned supreme in kitchens. But the clean, pure-white trend might actually be receding this year in favor of notes of color.
While most folks probably won’t be trading in their white cabinetry for bright orange any time soon, soft colors are in demand. Hues like grays, blues and dark greens are sound alternatives that can complement fixtures in the kitchen. And good news for fans of wooden accents: they’re back, too. Use hints of natural wood to either replace or merge with your white decor, in places like open shelving and cabinetry.
Add Some Bathroom Seating
The loo is for more than the obvious. You brush your teeth, apply and remove makeup and sink into a hot bath. Why not further promote relaxation with a simple seating option?
Match your bathroom seating to the way you use the room. Is your bathroom more of a spa retreat for “me time?” Or do you just want added functionality to make personal maintenance easier? If the space is a retreat, consider installing a window seat to enjoy the morning sun as you apply your makeup. For functionality, bring in a stool to use with or without your vanity for tasks like nighttime skincare or shaving.
Restyle Your Home with 80s-Inspired Furniture
The 80s are back, folks. For furniture, anyway. The last several years saw increasingly modern looks, but with 2020 comes a shift back to a bygone age.
Think big, like the hairstyles of the era. Chunky shapes and geometric designs
are coming back for your sofas and accent chairs. Showcase these pieces the right way in your home alongside accents like oversized pottery and earth-toned walls.
