Overview of Interior Design Home Trends

Every now and then we could all use a bit of a change, especially when it comes to the design of your home. Whether you’re tired of looking at the same old design scheme or simply like to follow what’s popular and new, keeping up with the latest design trends can help you figure out just how to update your home. We asked our designers for their take on what’s trending in 2020.

Exposed Beams

When looking at interior design home trends, exposed beams are always a striking addition to any home. Our interior designers believe that exposing the structural elements of a home creates a compelling natural contrast to any interior space. Exposed beams are often seen within large living spaces that are placed on a vaulted ceiling. Many people believe that exposed beams are only meant for a rustic interior. However, our interior designers can feature exposed beams in virtually any style of space.

Bold Backsplash Designs

One of the top interior design home trends in 2020 is making your kitchen and bathrooms stand out with bold backsplashes. One of the best ways to create a trendy design is to fill the interior of your home with eye-catching details using creative tiles and colors. Our interior designers have endless options to best fit your home.

Arched Walkways

In the interior design world, the “arch” never goes out of style. Whether it’s the entrance to a luxury kitchen or a clean edged passageway, implementing an arch will elevate the aesthetic to any interior design. If you don’t already have arches in your home, don’t worry. Our designers have recreated the arched look by adding arched mirrors and furniture to the home.

Final Thoughts: Top Interior Design Home Trends

2020 is the start of a brand-new decade and we are prepared to see plenty of changes in interior design home trends. This year we are expecting some unique, eye catching design trends that will look great in your home.

Exceptional illumination does far more than simply brighten a room. It dictates the entire emotional resonance of a space and defines the architectural mood. When curated with exacting precision, customized illumination transcends mere function to become breathtaking physical art.

Building a luxury custom home requires more than strong ideas in separate phases. It requires architecture, interior design, and construction to work together from the beginning. In high end residential interior design, every decision affects another, which is why a more collaborative process often leads to a better final result. A ceiling detail can influence lighting. Cabinetry design can affect framing and electrical planning. Material selections can impact installation, timelines, and architectural detailing. When these disciplines are aligned early, the home feels more cohesive, more intentional, and more fully resolved. At Fratantoni, our in house teams at Fratantoni Design , Fratantoni Interior Designers, and Fratantoni Luxury Estates work together to create luxury homes that are thoughtfully developed from concept to completion.

Building a custom home is one of the most exciting opportunities a homeowner can experience. It is a chance to create a residence that reflects your lifestyle, aesthetic, and long term vision in a way that feels deeply personal. For luxury homeowners, that process should be intentional from the very beginning. Every room, finish, architectural detail, and functional feature should work together to create a home that feels cohesive, elevated, and entirely custom.  One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when building a new home is waiting too long to involve an interior designer. Many people assume interior design begins after the floor plan is complete or once construction has already started. In reality, the most successful luxury homes begin with interior design much earlier in the process.
