Home Decor Trends: Natural Materials and Deep Tones

Rounded shapes, warm tones, and natural materials are the keywords of the interior design world that have smoothly carried over from last year to the present. And why should something so effective in interior design trends give up its position?

That wood and metal are timeless in interiors, a trend combining them has come to stay longer. This benefits fans of industrial, 70s, and art deco styles alike. While a few years ago light tones made their triumphant march in Scandinavian interior design, today we see more contrasts, tones have become warmer, and interestingly, exciting greens, blues, and deep grays have emerged victorious.

Natural approach in both materials and color tones

Naturalness emerged as a keyword in interior trends already last year and continues its triumphant march this year as well. Just as in nature, pale half-tones have no place in interiors either. When choosing soft interior elements, experiment with different shades of green and blue, mixing it with lighter neutral colors or why not, a deep warm yellow. The somber and calming gray that has won many hearts also remains in the picture.

Accent and luxury are provided by pastel tones and gold and bronze, which bring different interior styles to the same wavelength – sparkling elements are found both in industrial environments and in spaces exuding velvety luxury.

In the furniture world, wood and metal continue their triumphant march, and their combination creates a beautiful balance. Earth closeness becomes chic when you combine black metal and oak wood. The latter is a long-time favorite wood material for Estonians in interiors, serving its owner both in terms of quality and timelessness for a long time.

Romantic charm is given to living spaces by the somewhat less well-known princess wood and also mango wood furniture. Both exotic origin woods bring a regal feel to both living rooms and bedrooms.

Wood materials move into the bedroom and kitchen

If the eye has been accustomed to seeing wood furniture mainly in the living room and summer terrace, by now wood as an interior material has reached the bedroom again. A wooden bed looks Scandinavian and fits both a city home and a country house. Pair a solid wood bed with, for example, a nightstand with metal elements, decorate the place with decorative pillows in the aforementioned tones, and you get an example of 2019 trend.

This year, wooden kitchen furniture is making its triumphant march. Wooden work surfaces do require some extra care, but the accent that the natural material gives to the kitchen, as the heart of the home, feels warm and is worth the effort. Tips on how to care for wooden furniture are always worth asking the furniture seller. Since wood is a textured material, gentle cleaning with a damp cloth and regular oiling of surfaces work like a magic wand, giving furniture a fresh appearance for a long time.
