Interior Design Trends To Bring Into 2019

It’s officially spring. We are all looking towards the new season and for a lot of people, this means a home update is in order. This time of year is prime for an interior re-design, as so many of you get bored of spending so much time in your homes over the winter months. Perhaps you’re tired of the darkness and just want to introduce a sprig of new-season colour into your home. Of course, keeping up with trends can be exhausting, not to mention expensive, and your space deserves to be appreciated for a long time. We have compiled a list of simple home updates, utilising the best trends of this year, that can refresh your home without having to undergo a total design overhaul.

Bold Plants

Plants are such a simple way to refresh your space. The botanical theme is on-trend in 2019, and rather than cover your home in statement, banana leaf wallpaper, go retro and visit your local nursery for some new plants. You can still achieve a statement impact, you just have to choose your foliage carefully. For a statement look¸ with minimal care, consider a rubber plant. Birds of Paradise can grow into a stunning fountain shape, giving a room interesting depth and colourful dimensions. An Umbrella Plant (Schefflera) also have a pretty, flower-shaped leaf that would suit a softer, more feminine styling.  All plants create texture and inject life into a room.  

Wicker Furniture

Wicker is a major trend right now and has been dominating fashion and interior design shows for the last couple of seasons. It doesn’t look like it’s a trend that is going away any time soon. Wicker furniture does not have to stay relegated to the conservatory, in fact, it is a great way to add some natural wood into your home and break up a monochrome space. Consider what a high, wicker headboard or new wicker dining chairs could do to totally rejuvenate your space. Alternatively, a peacock chair or any natural-wood wicker can create an interesting styling juxtaposition in contemporary interiors with sleek, METOD storage, particularly bathrooms. Wicker furniture is really affordable too!

Statement Colours

Wanting to change up the colour of a room does not have to be as drastic as painting and re-wallpapering. It can be as simple as swapping out one piece. The trending colour charts for 2019 are dominated by bold statement colours, including dark, regal greens and every shade of bright yellow. This is an easy trend to implement in any room, including the metod kitchen. You could swap out plain white cabinet doors for a more daring option. This would change the aesthetic of the entire room without a paintbrush in sight. Depending on the style of your kitchen, whether you choose an ikea faktum kitchen or not, Noremax can give it the zest of colour you’re looking for!

You could introduce just one colour, but if you wanted to combine two major trends into one, you should consider contrasting block colours. Get matching armchairs in completely different colours, teal green and fuchsia pink, for example.

Swap Soft Furnishings

It’s a common thing to grow tired of your environment over the winter months. If you find yourself wanting to update your home with the biggest trends of 2019, soft furnishings are an inexpensive place to start. For this year, it is all about mixing textures; think velvet with a tapestry-style throw cushion. Or layering multiple rugs of different textures and styles. This is the quickest way to achieve the Maximalist trends that are governing every corner of the interior design world.

To conclude, try not to follow trends to the letter. Do your research and pick out what you like, what suits your lifestyle and what you would really like to implement in your own space rather than just admire from afar. Once you are sure you want to update your space, start small to keep it flexible and low-cost. This will enable you to update your home regularly.
