What's HOT and What's NOT in 2020 Home Decor! was originally published in Trim Design Co.
I love an In & Out list. It’s a bright spot in the dark looming shadow of the winter months ahead. I don’t even wear makeup, and yesterday I spent 15 minutes scrolling through a list of what makeup trends were in or out for 2020. I have a problem. But it made me realize that I can’t be alone in my passion for these lists. I am betting that you, too, enjoy a good in/out list to kick off the new year.
As this new decade dawns, we’re taking a look back at the trends which dominated the last ten years and suggesting some fresh alternatives to these well-trod styles. This decade is going to be all about richly layered spaces full of personality and meaningful details. Buh-bye to super-clean cookie-cutter rooms (finally!) and hello to more Bohoditional goodness! And on that note, I bring you:
