Interior design trends are always evolving and changing, so it’s important to stay somewhat up-to-date on them if you want to maintain a chic interior space. Going too long without checking on what’s hot and what's not could leave you with an embarrassingly out-of-touch design aesthetic if you aren’t careful.
Thankfully, it’s not hard to get up to speed on the latest interior design trends. In case you want an update on what’s in style, here are a few trending design tips you can use to modernize your home’s interior.
Heated Floors
Heated floors used to be a rare luxury feature in a home. With innovations in floor-heating technology, however, they have emerged as a staple in interior design. Radiant floor heating is perfect for chilly bathroom floors, kitchen floors, or anywhere you want to install it, really. If you want to add extra value to your home, engineered hardwood floors pair the best with radiant floor heating compared to other wood flooring options. Nothing says modernity like a home with heated floors.
Popular Countertops
Countertops made from trending materials are super popular in 2020. Many people have regular laminate countertops that they never replace, so by implementing new trending materials into your countertops you can stay on the ball when it comes to interior design.
Consider swapping out your countertops for quartz, as it’s the hottest material around right now. There are a bunch of colors of quartz countertops you can choose from to match the rest of your interior, so you don’t have to worry about being redundant with the same old white look you expect from quartz.
Aging in Place Features
The idea of aging in place has become not only more popular but much more realistic as well. Thanks to the invention of a variety of new aging-in-place features, it’s never been easier for a person to grow old in their own home, rather than a nursing home. These features are also useful if you plan on having your parents or elderly guests.
Non-slip flooring, handrails, motion-sensing faucets, curved countertop edges, and lots of bright lighting are all ways to subtly improve your interior aesthetic and comfort while also making it much easier and safer for the elderly to get around. Especially with stylish items such as handrails, you can bring a contemporary feel to your interior while also adding an element of luxury.
Wall Art
Wall art is popular once again, with the current trending choices being line drawings, earthy tones, color blocking, black and white paintings, and female art. Hallway art, living room art, and kitchen art are all especially popular right now as interior design moves away from traditional norms like centering a TV in the living room, for example.
