So you have just bought yourself one of the best luxury apartments in Goa? Or that villa in Mumbai’s outskirts you’d been fancying for some time? Well, congratulations on getting your dream house! Now comes the part where you decorate your house in your own unique style to create your own personal home. Here is a list of the top home design trends this year you could get inspired from. Check them out.

1. Multifunctional Spaces

As workspaces are becoming less formal and closet increasing in importance, 2020 will be the year that will see doing more with spaces in the home. Think, for instance, the exclusive dining hall or the extra guest room which remain unused for the most part of the year. More and more homeowners are opting to take back the wasted space in their homes to design a flexible workspace and fashion-forward decor. This lets members of the home blend two functions seamlessly into one space. So the kitchen can be accompanied by a garden. And the study table can be aligned with a mini library or music centre. This allows plenty of room for inspiration and productivity.

2. Earthy Tones

Cool tones, especially white, are out in favour of warm, earthy, saturated colours. It’s like going back to nature and the peace it offers. Moreover, earthy tones provide the creative freedom to design a layered space with plenty of personalities. Shades of deep brown, wine, olive green and yellow ochre are taking over in new homes, be it through furniture, upholstery or even the colour of walls. Painting and interior door in rich colour gives warmth and character to space.

3.Layering Old and New

The idea is to preserve the eternal beauty of traditional design, but with a twist. This is done by blending elements of classic designs in furniture and upholstery likes gallops and natural fibre rugs with a contemporary edge through modern art and clean line furniture. Take your home decor to the next level by getting comfortable and creative as you mix and match the old and new. Don’t hesitate to embellish your interiors with souvenirs from all the places you’ve travelled to. This could be a great way to jazz up your seaside home in Goa.

4. Real Plants

It’s time to ditch those fake plants in colourful pots which only end up becoming dust catchers. In 2020 it’s all about being real and welcoming home those dense real dreams. You can even embellish a wall with different kinds of greens. It establishes a strong connection with nature making the spaces look refreshing and colourful. This is even more relevant for those living in busy metropolitan cities as they look to their home as a soothing stress reliever from the noise and pollution outside. Of course, the seaside homes in Goa present a welcome alternative to the din of the city: here your senses are relieved by the soothing sights and sounds of water hitting the coast rather than the honking of vehicles!
