Between colors, rooms and accessories, trends show that none of them go away forever
Home decor is constantly evolving and it seems like a new trend emerges every day. But the truth is, most trends come and go, so knowing what they are and when they come can be a good idea for when they’ll come back.
From mason jars to boho-chic, let’s go back in time and recall some of the biggest trends of the last twenty years, then think about what we can expect in the new decade.
2000s
These decor trends share a decade’s best years Britney Spears, the launch of the first iPod and even Blu-ray Disc. While it doesn’t seem like that long ago, some of these 2000s decor trends seem like they came from ages ago.
1. Rooms: shabby chic
Known for its rustic, slightly worn look, the shabby-chic it’s a small town, a bit Vintageand truly defines the 2000s. From lace bedding with flounces, to the whitewashed bedside tablesshabby chic has certainly found space in the bedrooms!
2. Living room: entertainment “stations”.
Back when Blu-ray Discs and DVD players were still huge, the fun was having a place to showcase your devices and discs. Oversized speakers to bring the best surround sound to even your new flat screen TV deserve a special place for them. Joey and Chandler say so, with one piece of furniture that took up most of the room!
3. Kitchens: white wall units
We can thank the 2000s for the transition from deep, dark wood furniture to white kitchens, which still hold up even after years. Arguably the most popular kitchen cabinet color right now, white has become the dominant hue for not only cabinetry, but backsplashes, countertops, and even flooring.
4. Bathrooms: in Tuscan style
While some 2000s trends were understated and subtle, the Tuscan-style bathroom wasn’t one of them. As the bathrooms grew larger, they began to acquire more ornate details and colors, such as ocher and terracotta, combined with the dark, heavy wood.
5. Dining rooms: several dining chairs
There are many restaurant trends that we saw in the 2000s, but the main one is the move from classic and formal dining rooms to more whimsical and fun spaces. Stores began selling chairs as individual items, allowing for the mixing and matching of colors and styles to create a bright, welcoming atmosphere in dining rooms.
6. Children’s Rooms: Bird-themed children’s rooms
From bedding covered in birds, to bird-shaped lamps and feather-inspired wall art, the theme was huge in the 2000s!
7. Pictorial trends: dark red and brown paint
While we saw a lot of use of neutrals and whites in the 2000s, especially in the kitchen, we also saw an increase in deep, dark reds and browns throughout the house. Pantone even named “True Red” the color of the year in 2002.
8. Architecture: palaces
Before the real estate market crisis in 2008, mansions were a sign of wealth and class🇧🇷 While these oversized new constructions emerged in the 1990s, they also defined architecture in the 2000s. These homes included large-scale bedrooms, nonessential architectural elements like columns, and two- to three-car garages.
9. Accessories: mason jars everywhere
It’s hard to deny the versatility of a mason jar. It’s a wine glass, vase, candlestick, and more, all in a small, compact, hard-to-break glass container. It doesn’t hurt to have a leftover mason jar. Right?
2010s
Between the rise of the iPhone and increased awareness of climate change, this decade has been all about minimalism, and decor is no exception. We stepped back into those years and what was once ornate and grand has become understated and simple.
1. Rooms: stable doors
Regular doors are so 2000s. Many homeowners have decided to ditch the double door and embrace one. sliding barn style door. This not only saved valuable space in the room but also offered a simpler and more modern look.
2. Living Room: Beanbags galore
Who needs a chair when you have ottomans? From the backyard to the living room, an ottoman not only provides a place to rest your feet after a long day at work, it doubles as extra seating.
3. Kitchens: shelves
In this decade, we have started to see more and more people ditch the traditional lockers and opt to use shelves and racks in the kitchen. While this look required more dedication to organizing and cleaning, it also helps a small kitchen feel bigger and more airy.
4. Bathrooms: geometric tiles
Sure, geometric tiles will likely never quite go out of style, but many homeowners have started experimenting with hexagonal and diamond-shaped tiles to spice up bathrooms and create a unique, personalized space.
5. Dining rooms: modern rustic
A change from shabby-chic, this look combined rustic style with modern simplicity. From reclaimed wood tables to Windsor dining chairs, the 2010 dining room is all about the modern farmhouse.
6. Children’s rooms: canopies
What goes around comes in home decor. If you had a canopy in the ’90s, there’s a good chance a guy you know adopted the same look in the 2010s. shared rooms.
7. Pictorial Trends: Millennial Pink and Hunter Green
pink and green they’re two very different colors, but both were equally used in the 2010s. On the one hand, we swapped the crisp whites for a soft, barely noticeable pink. On the other hand, the change was a little less cheerful with hunter greens in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.
8. Architecture: Open Floor Plans
More and more homeowners started to really embrace the open concept in the 2010s, perhaps the brothers’ dual influence on the job? Whether it’s a mid-century ranch or a 1920s craftsman, the open plan it was (and still is) a coveted architectural feature.
9. Accessories: Brass and gilded metals
From the bathroom to the front door, silver metals were swapped for gold and brass finishes this decade. A mix of modern and vintage, this look is still going strong.
2020s
The trends to come over the next decade might surprise us, but there are some early signs that show us where home decor is headed. Here are some predictions on home decor trends for the next ten years.
1. Rooms: elegant furniture
We have already started adopting smart furniture in the kitchen and living room, but it’s time for this technology to reach the bedrooms. From bedside tables with built-in USB ports and automatic lightingto beds that can sleep with you, expect to see smarter pieces in the bedroom.
2. Room: Boho and eclectic
We have already begun to move away from minimalism and embrace maximalism., and this trend is unlikely to abate. The next decade will be full of bright colours🇧🇷 plots and boho-inspired decor.
3. Kitchens: bright and colorful kitchens
While we don’t think white kitchens are going away entirely, expect to see more homeowners experimenting with bright, bold cabinets and appliances. From vibrant reds to soft pinks, it’s a good time to embrace color in the kitchen.
4. Bathrooms: sinks in concrete and natural materials
The price of some materials has led many to opt for cheaper products for bathroom furnishings, such as concrete. Even natural stones like limestone are known to be eco-friendly and mark a departure from traditional geometric tiles.
5. Dining rooms: well laid out
While open floor plans are still great, people are likely to embrace the segmented rooms again. It can be one closed dining room even or simply a space that feels separate from the rest of the house, we expect people to spend more time in the dining room and come back to dine.
6. Children’s rooms: textures and patterns
From faux fur, to camouflage and leopard print, kids’ rooms will become bolder than ever. While the rest of the home continues to embrace neutrals, the kids’ room is where homeowners experience a vibrant and exciting aesthetic.
7. Paint Trends: Beige is back and dark is the new neutral
Beige is here to prove that, yes, Taylor Swift, ’90s trends are back in full force! This versatile shade is back and more and more decorators are switching from white to beige once again. We don’t see dark, gloomy colors disappearing any time soon, either — in fact, we expect them to replace neutral in nearly every room in the house.
8. Architecture: ecological
A sense of urgency around climate change has made architects and designers focus on creating green and sustainable homes. From solar panels, to low energy lighting and carbon neutral buildings, expect to see even greener buildings.
9. Accessories: Rattan
Another proof that trends always reappear, the rattan fiber it was strong in the 70s and it’s coming back. From bookcases to wicker chairs, expect to see even more of this material.
