6 COOL WINTER HOME TRENDS OF 2020

When the cold sets in and winter weather hits, many homeowners start spending more and more time inside. If you’re feeling a little bit of cabin fever and you’re looking to add a fresh look to your home, these winter home trends of 2020 are for you:

1. Natural Woods

Natural elements and country landscapes are one of the popular winter home trends of 2020. Incorporating natural wood is a great way to add this winter home trend to your decor. Dark or warm woods can easily be added through furniture and in accent decor or other decorations.

Wooden stools can provide comfortable and stylish seating while a wooden coffee table or bookcases can liven up a room. Switching to natural wood picture frames or adding a table lamp with a wooden base can be a subtle way to add this look.

Natural wood also fits in seamlessly with several different interior design styles. So, whether you go with lighter tones or darker woods, you can likely find something that fits in well with the rest of your interior design.

2. Cozy Textiles

A general sense of coziness is always a winter home trend. Because of this focus on coziness and comfort, hygge is a common theme. Cozy textiles are an easy way to get this look in your home.

This makes chunky knits popular and keeps “giant knitting” on-trend. Giant Knitting uses larger knitting needles that are practically the size of baseball bats, PVC pipes, or even just a knitter’s arms, and jumbo yarn to create that unique, large, and thick stitch.

Chunky knits or other thick blankets can be thrown over the back of a couch to function as both decor and a useful item to stay warm. Throw pillows, area rugs, and other textiles can be added to create a general atmosphere of warmth and coziness.

3. Heritage Patterns

Heritage patterns, like houndstooth, tartan, and herringbone, are a popular winter home trend of 2020 and can also help you add a countryside feel to a room. These patterns can be easily included in blankets, pillows, and other textiles. Pairing the pattern with a cozy material can help you cover multiple winter home trends at once.

4. Scandi Fusion

Scandi Fusion blends minimalist interior design with traditional and modern Scandinavian styles. This interior design style is a winter home trend of 2020 and there are a lot of options for incorporating it into your home. This trend focuses on functional, durable materials, seamless surfaces, and clean lines.

Materials like plywood, metal, cotton, linen, wool, and paper are popular. Because this style blends in minimalism, there should be a clutter-free and spacious look and feel to the room. The room does not need to be sparse or bare; it just needs to be functional and provide a sense of wellbeing and decluttering on both a physical and mental level.

5. Vintage and Luxe

Luxe, the interior design trend that is all about luxury, remains a popular winter home trend. However, it has evolved this year into a sense of delightful extravagance that includes vintage elements.

Although luxe is all about decadence, it doesn’t necessarily mean going overboard. Minimalist lighting that is also a statement piece is included in the luxe trend. Materials like marble, velvet, detailed glass, gold, and brass are also popular for this trend. Velvet and similar luxe materials can also help you add cozy textiles to your decor while also adding a sense of luxury.

Other vintage materials and shapes can also help you get this trend in your home. Art deco rounded shapes are big in this trend and show up in the form of rounded and curved furniture and more. A drink trolley or a fantastically arranged drink tray can be a great addition to a social room that will also add the luxe home decor trend to your home.

6. Versatile Functionality

With a lot of the winter home trends of 2020 including an element of minimalism, decor and design that focuses on versatile functionality is also popular. It usually fuses sleek and modern design with statement pieces that feature bold colors and add a bit of personality. Freestanding and multipurpose furniture are key to this winter home trend.

Because they are freestanding pieces, they are easy to move. And, because they are multipurpose, it also adds an element of minimalism and can allow you to cut down on the number of pieces you have to include in a room. But, these pieces also often have a bit of flair as well in solid bold colors, vibrant textiles, or unique patterns.
