Interior design of the past decade has been shaped by a number of unmistakable trends. Remember Scandinavian minimalism and the all white kitchen? How about Moroccan-inspired area rugs, and the seemingly immortal modern farm house aesthetic? Is that fiddle leaf fig plant still thriving? (No judgment if it’s seen better days.) Is that “Live, Laugh, Love”world art sign still hanging in your entryway?There’s something all of these disparate decor trends have in common: At one point, all felt like the very height of fashion; but now they might seem a bit stale.Stepping into a new year—and a new decade—gives us the opportunity to look ahead and plan for what’s next for 2020. And when it comes to home design, that means sussing out the decor, colors, and finishes that will be in high demand.
