Home Decor Fall 2020 Trends: Room-by-Room

Let's go by room-by-room for a closer look at some of the hottest home decor trends for fall 2020. Here's a look:

Kitchen

While previous years saw homeowners experiment with a lot of different materials in kitchens, trending this fall is a return to simplicity. We're talking cabinetry with minimal detail, large backsplashes, and clean slab counters. Another trend is less of an open concept kitchen and more of a standalone one, meaning that kitchens won't transition so seamlessly or extend into other living spaces. 

Bedrooms

Though we're in rapid eye movement for most of the time spent in our bedrooms, the fact of the matter is that we still spend a lot of time in the bedroom itself. And you'd be surprised to see how neglected some bedrooms are. In fall 2020, we're seeing a return to simplicity in the bedroom. Bedrooms are increasingly becoming a place for homeowners to unplug and relax - and this is evidenced in the removal of TVs and an investment in high-quality bedding, soft lighting, and calming colors. House plants are also becoming popular in bedrooms, as they help improve the indoor air quality of the environment.

Living Room

Sleek and modern interiors - that's the best way to describe how living rooms are trending this fall. But even with a focus on this type of style, functionality and comfort should still be a priority. Much like how the kitchen is trending back to being its own room of the house, so too are living rooms. And it's this individual space that can help lend to enhanced comfort and functionality.

Bathroom

The bathroom continues to be an area where homeowners can flex their creative muscles, and this year's fall 2020 trends are evidence of that. So what's trending in the bathroom this season? Unconventionally shaped tile - such as that in hexagonal and scallops styles, for one. Freestanding tubs are another hot commodity if your bathroom has the space to accommodate them. In terms of materials, marble and brass are popular.

Basements

While the man cave, home gym, guest suite or sports bar remain popular options for how to finish your basement, what's trending now is creating a basement that becomes a true extension of the rest of your home. Think of it as a second living room or family room if you will. Whether it presents an additional play area for the kids or another part of the home to lounge on the couch and catch up on your TV shows, the finishing, flooring, colors, and style remain similar in a basement that aims to become just another room of the home.

Bathroom Remodel Tips

As the most frequented room in the house, we think it’s important that you like your bathroom.  There are some great ways to update your bathroom without a complete overhaul, and understanding your options and price breakdown is a great place to start.  

Here are some ideas:

  1. Adopt a Minimalist Bathroom
    Removing decor and minimizing counter top clutter will bring an entire new look to your bathroom.  However, to achieve a full minimalist look, most bathrooms will be remodeled white and with clean, clear lines in the tiles.  This high white allows for a clean look that matches just about any style, accent, or color scheme.  It will also be the most forgiving was bathroom remodel trends change through the years.  Once the tile and wall color reads more minimalist, you’re free to buy a small amount of decor.

  2. Install a Pre-Designed Bathroom Sink Cabinet
    Having a lack of storage can make things feel like they have no designated place, and therefore everything stays messy & unorganized.  While custom cabinets can be quite an investment if you’re not ready, installing prebuilt cabinets is a great way to cut your budget, spice up the bathroom, and create more functional storage space.  There is a wide variety of bathroom cabinet and vanities and numerous bathroom countertops to choose from.

  3. Upgrade Your Technology
    What does it mean to have bathroom technology?  Well, it could be as easy as installing a water-efficient toilet.  It could also mean installing new mirrors that have screens built in to them so you can watch the news or your favorite TV show while you’re waking up in the morning, or getting ready for bed at night.  There are also tile floor heaters with timers for those cold, winter mornings.  Sometimes, just installing a light dimmer and replacing the bulb with a dimmer bulb is enough to change your entire bath time experience.

  4. Optimize Your Storage
    While a pedestal sink may be the look you’re wanting, it might be more important to have a bathroom with functionality and storage.  Under sink cabinets, as well as, hanging cabinets over the toilet, are great places to store towels, toiletries, etc.  The back of the bathroom door is aa great place for hangers for towels, too.  Drawers and hanging cabinets can be optimized with baskets and behind the door hangers to fit a variety of things.
