January 2020

We’ve been hearing a lot about “the next decade of interior design.” That’s too far ahead for us.

Everything changes too fast. Here’s what we expect to see in 2020 that we like:

1. The home gets back to being a comfortable retreat where you can just chill inside calm, relaxing spaces with less clutter and more ambiance.
2.  Expansive whites and earthy greens and browns re-connect us with a soothing, natural aesthetic.
3. Lighting becomes better and brighter, spotlighting and showcasing feature walls with materials like wood, rock and cork.
4. Enviro-conscious living takes over with tech-smart, energy-saving abodes where recycling rules.
5. Open floorplans are improved with chic, industrial partitions that create functional flow.
6. The kitchen

It’s an interesting topic. Everyone has their idea of what “dream home” means. They’re at every price point.

If you’re looking for yours in 2020, read on for tips. If you’re listing, make it someone else’s dream home by staging it that way!

Buying?

Dream homes are not one size or style fits all.

Can you picture your dream home? Try. It’s much easier to find when you know what it looks like!

If you need help getting started, think about the lifestyle you’re after and then imagine your new home at the epicentre of it.

You might want a family home that better suits your active lifestyle, for example. Maybe you’re renting and your dream is to own. Or it could be you’re ready to lock-and-leave as you travel to exotic destinations.
