This interior design trend is a distinct throwback. It\u2019s the reemergence of curvy shapes. Inspired by the 60s and 70s, rounded furniture makes it\u2019s way back but with a modern twist. Line and curve mesh to highlight the beauty of form. In furniture, we are seeing upholstered pieces like sofas, chaises, and benches designed with undulation and asymmetry as guidelines.

With households experiencing remote working and learning at home, multifunctional spaces have become one of the most relevant interior design trends 2020 has seen. Designs of homes have taken to open-plans for a while now making the existence of multifunctional rooms possible. A doubling up of space and functionality is most commonly seen in the kitchen and dining room areas. Kitchens with islands can easily become both a dining table and a workstation. In this way, people are able to cook, eat, socialize and work all at the same time. Breakfast nooks and kitchen counters are especially good for small spaces or smaller home floorplans. These areas eliminate the need for a whole separate room since it cuts out the need for another whole separate room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another trending combination is playrooms with other areas of the home, particularly the child\u2019s bedroom. With some savvy spatial layouts, kids can play and sleep in a space that is safe and allows other rooms of the house to be used. Certainly, if you\u2019d like to keep on eye on your kiddos while cooking or working, other areas like a corner of the living room or space under the stairs can be converted into a comfy space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who need a workout and can\u2019t get to the gym, an unused area in the garage or basement is ideal for those weights and spin bike. Don\u2019t have enough room for a home gym design<\/a>? No worries. There is equipment (resistance bands, jump rope, dumbbells) and storage options that allow you to pull out your workout gear to use practically in any space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floral wallpaper has been one of those home decorating ideas that has stood the test of time. We\u2019re not talking about the granny or hippie variety, but designs that pull from contemporary style and offer a wow factor to any wall. With an appeal for vibrant and contrasting colors, current wallpaper patterns can be found in varying sizes and designs to suit many decor styles. Add personality to your mid-century modern dining room with moody peonies on a black backdrop. Brighten your boho bedroom with a garden of wildflowers as an accent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biophilic design is a 2020 interior design trend<\/a> that incorporates natural elements (materials, light, vegetation) into modern built environments that directly impacts our overall health. Research shows that incorporating direct or indirect elements of nature into the built environment has had a role in reducing stress and balancing blood pressure levels and heart rates. Additionally, this type of design increases productivity, creativity and self-reported rates of well-being. Incredible outcome, right? So, how does this look in design?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
