Recovery and sustainability: quality pays off for young people, antiques outperform fast fashion
Quality always pays off. We don’t talk anymore about “disposable things”, about low-quality furniture or materials: it is true that initially you make a smaller investment but you will also have to replace them in time. It is very common now choosing handcrafted antiques to decor properties,especially among young people: recovery is addressed towards sustainability and the reduction of waste.

Thanks to Barnebys’ research, the purchase of antique furniture and objects has increased among people under 45. For the so-called Y and Z generations, dealing with their first home, quality, saving and environmental impact are essential requirements that lead them to choose 19th century furniture.
Colours for interiors decoration: which are the IN or OUT shades in 2020 trends?
It is a fundamental step if you are decorating a white new home but also if you are thinking about renovating your house and interiors. You need to study colours combinations for surfaces and furniture in order to make them bold and equilibrate and find chromatic harmony between furniture and walls. But which are the most interesting colours for interiors in 2020? Let’s discover trends!
IN: Earth colours – OUT: Cold shades
The pure white has basically disappeared. Walls get warmer with natural nuances like ivory, sand and greige, the warm grey like beige. You should choose these shades if you want the scandinavian style for your interiors, essential and elegant. Not only delicate shades, in 2020 trends you also find the warm earth colours, like brown and ocher.

Cold shades instead are OUT because they are not easy to be combined for characterising interiors of strong personality and creating relaxing atmospheres.
IN: Bold monochromes – OUT: Grey on grey
Are you passionate about a specific colour? Enhance it throughout the decor! Monochromatic rooms of bold and saturated colours are in trend this year. Create an unforgettable memory of your interior and spread the shade you like more on furniture, walls and decorations.

If you want to change the colours of your interiors without replacing furniture you can count on self-adhesive coverings. Interior designers use them to give a new look and personality to decor: they are resistant and easy to be applied, also for a DIY installation.
Grey on grey and “pale” monochromes get OUT of scene in 2020 because of lack of personality. Light and neutral shades can lower the rooms personality if used throughout the decor.
IN: Pastel colours
Soft and refined… It is the boom of pastel colours! They are featured by an high degree of brightness and by a low degree of saturation: they are fresh and soothing shades like spring, the season of changes.

In the 2020 trend palette we can find the baby pink, already used in 2019 Christmas decorations, forerunner of the new year, and the sage green. Thanks to their sweetness, they are suitable for kids bedrooms decorations but not only: if matched with different textures and materials, they give harmony to living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms.
Nature is a timeless love: biophilic design is one of the 2020 trends
The beauty of plants not only to decor but also to make you feel better. Biophilic design is born to create human-friendly interiors and is able to make people feel at the centre of their life. Nature within working and residential environments, increases life quality and satisfaction and reduces stress level.

Beneficial properties of plants, their organic growth, flowers smell… All this make them a precious part for decor, but what is green and OUT at the same time in 2020 trends? Fake plants, of course! Everyday interior design moves towards new awareness in search of materials, concepts and innovative systems to respect the world in which we live. So why choosing a plastic plant even if it is realistic?
Once upon a time there was upholstery… And today? Wallpapers are exclusive design decorations, personalised and very trendy
Another conflict between IN and OUT and this time also between OLD and NEW. Nowaday printing techniques make wallpapers becoming a true piece of art and design: exclusive subjects made by artists, illustrators and graphic designers, unexpected colours for surfaces, natural and realistic textures, materials resistant to high traffic in commercial environments…
Wallpapers are original, chic and strongly impactful. They can be used to completely renew your house, office or store, not only changing the look of your walls but also the general perception of the interiors. And is there something more IN and contemporary than to personalise your interiors with a tailor-made artistic decoration, or with one of your own pictures or chromatic idea?
Classic separation of spaces turns into flexibility and modularity. You will no longer have unused areas but multifunctional ones
Habits made us think about residential interiors as divided with rigor and logic, each room with a well-defined function. These classic and formal intentions affect the strategic use of interiors. Have you ever realized that you cannot make the most of some rooms? For example the dining room, detached from the kitchen or the living room. Here is the change of 2020 trends: interiors become liquid and multifunctional.
