If you want to add navy blue to your interiors don’t forget to use it at least 3 times. It will make the whole interior look more harmonious (so for example – a navy blue wall, cushion, and a vase, etc.).

DIFFERENT COLORS OF THE YEAR 2020

Apart from the color of the year chosen by Pantone, there is also a whole range of colors of the year offered by paint manufacturers. It wasn’t a surprise to me that pastel colors come into play now – gray mint (the color of the year from Duluxa) or powder pink (even called the new white, look at Benjamin Moore for inspiration). I use these colors for about 2 years now in my stagings and I see the huge impression they make on my clients when they are used right and decorated with accessories fitting the right target group. Look at these photos from the last two years – pink and mint rule! Clicking on the photo above will redirect you to my Pinterest. I will keep on adding more of my stagings so follow me there to get more fresh inspirations.

MINDFULNESS INTERIORS

You need to remember this term if you want your property to be on the top of the most wanted list. According to Pinterest the number of people searching for interiors using the word “mindfulness” increased by 250% in the past year.

What does “mindfulness interiors” mean? It means interiors prepared consciously following the idea of sustainable development, but also those in which you can relax, rest, gain energy and escape from the hustle and pressure of today’s world. It’s necessary to designate relaxation zones in such a space, e.g. places to read in natural light.

It certainly doesn’t mean flashy images with speeding trains but rather everything we associate with nature and peace. A sustainable apartment is not cluttered. Each item has a specific function here or even sometimes multiple functions like multi-functional furniture for example.

Same with the color palette, which is associated with earth colors and is completely neutral – beige, natural subdued greens, delicate browns, grays. Materials are all about nature too – cotton, linen, wicker, wood, stone, bamboo. In mindfulness interiors, there’s also a place for handmade products – ceramics, braids, macramé – things with meaning given to them by their creators’ handwork, imperfect and unique.

TREND MIXING AND MATCHING

For another year, we can focus on creativity – instead of a set of chairs for the table, you can choose different colors or different materials within the chosen color palette and the materials selected for your interior. The same applies to lamps. Instead of two identical side by side, you can use different shapes or different colors that will match each other. I’ve described this phenomenon in detail in my e-book on Home Staging Trends 2020, because I noticed this trend much earlier and now it’s practically a norm (HERE you can download a fragment of my e-book). This trend also involves mixing styles but I would be really careful here because without proper knowledge you can mess it up so it’s safer to stick to mixing different chairs, lamps, and tables.
