Ten Interior Design Trends 2019 Information
1. Happy Homestead: If you live in the UK, you’ll be well aware that Brexit is on the horizon. If and when this happens, we are likely to be spending more time at home, waiting to see how the economy is affected. With unpredictable house prices, moving home may not be an option at the moment. Creating a happy homestead and hunkering down might be something to comfort you. Whether that’s redecorating or buying yourself a few lovely things. I have a feeling that we might be getting cosy in a log cabin kind of way. Think real fires, blankets, wool throws, warm rugs, handmade furniture and natural wood materials.

2. Middlemalism: We started to embrace minimalism and the Scandi paired-back look. Then along came Maximalism which was pattern crazy, object stuffing and a complete overload. You might now be confused about whether to go for more or less. How about meeting somewhere in the middle? Middlemalism might be the way to go. Okay, I just made up that word, but hopefully, you know what I mean. Don’t go bare in your interiors so that it looks like you’ve just moved into your house and haven’t got around to buying yourself many decorative objects yet. Don’t overdo it, and give yourself a headache with clashing colours. Besides, think about all that extra cleaning and dusting! One room where you could max out more is the bedroom; make this a sumptuous place to relax and escape from the real world … and Brexit!

3. Bauhaus Revised: But don’t worry because if you want to remain a minimalist, you can … Terrence Conran embraced the principles of Bauhaus during his student days, and the movement is now a hundred years old. The 2019 Conran collection pays tribute to Bauhaus with tubular metal furniture and grid patterns. They call this the ‘New Minimalism’, which has simple, clean silhouettes, but it will also be tactile and imperfect. Colours include blues, reds, oranges, specifically rust, coral, and Prussian blue. Stripes, grids and marble will be the patterns. Heal’s will also explore the Bauhaus Centenary by reviving this aesthetic with a contemporary twist.

4. Socialising Sobremesa: Another Conran trend is ‘Sobremesa’, which is a Spanish word that means time spent socialising after a meal and enjoying a digestif. Orange is the principal colour, alongside emerald green and Conran blue. A rustic and understated artisanal feel will run through this theme. This is perfect for alfresco entertaining in the summer! Heal’s also has a Spanish vibe with their new collection, ‘ Creative Escapes’, which features a warm colour palette.

5. Living Coral: The Pantone Colour of the Year 2019 is Living Coral (Pantone 16-1546). It is described as an animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energises and enlivens with a softer edge. Expect to see walls painted in this colour and wallpaper designs in this shade. If you want to add a few touches of Living Coral to your home, try cushions, rugs and throws.

6. Industrial Upgrade: Crown Paints 2019 trends include ‘Redefined’, a contemporary mix of chalky pinks and cement greys. This sophisticated take on industrial interiors moves it to the next level.

7. Blue Hues: Crown Paints also focuses on ‘Immersed’, which is all about water, so expect to see blues ranging from a light haze through to deep midnight. You’ve heard the saying blue and green should never be seen … together … Heal’s tell me that green will be coming back in Spring. The palette will be mossy greens, pastel mint and taupe shades. You can pair this with classic brass finishes. So that you know, bright copper tones are out!
Blue Hues: Chalky White, Duck Egg, Teal and Midnight Navy from Crown Paints
8. Urban Bolds: Crown Paints ‘Movement’ is the embodiment of diversity, with global travel and street culture. This is brought to life through burnished greys and bold colours such as mustard, teal, purple, etc.
Urban Bolds: Palm Springs, Marble Top and Grey Suede from Crown Paints
9. Spiced Honey: Dulux Paint selected Spiced Honey as their primary colour for 2019. This warm amber tone is soothing and calming with a cosy feel. It can also become vibrant if paired with the right palette. Spiced Honey works in every room in your home, from your boudoir to your lounge and even the kitchen.

10. Eastern Artistry: The Graham & Brown Wallpaper of the Year 2019 is Tori. It means bird in Japanese and is featured on their beautiful wallpaper. It celebrates the skill of Eastern art in which birds are a prevalent symbol of longevity, luck and love. This Chinoiserie bird trail is delightful with spring blossoms and a subtle glistening of silk in deep regal teal. Heal’s also says that there will be a strong Japanese influence next year with simplistic designs. You can channel this trend by bringing a sense of calm into your home and creating a sanctuary rather than just a shelter. Look out for the Matthew Hilton Rubin Lighting created using Mino Washi Paper and the Eden furniture collection crafted from oak from Heal’s.
