We list the hottest interior trends sweeping
the nation in 2019
As we enter the New Year, it’s exciting to
look forward to the interior trends of
2019; where we can begin anew and explore
new ways to reinvent our homes. It’s for this
reason property specialists, Sellhousefast.uk
have explored the interior trends favoured by
different regions across the UK (in 2017), in
addition to discovering what interior trends
have been most popular in 2018, and what we
can swap them for in 2019.
To achieve this, Sell House Fast analysed a report by
Homewings titled: ‘The Homewings Interiors Trend
Report 2018.’ The report reviewed over 13,000 style
quiz surveys across the UK. For residents in the middle
of England, a traditional take on ‘Scandi’ was a personal
favourite; minimalism and muted hues is key. Similar
interior trends can be mapped in the South West and
East Anglia. While ‘modern tradition’ suits residents in
the South West; the ultimate balance between style and
comfort, East Anglian residents take it one step further
with ‘country chic’; a shabby-yet-stylish look, enhanced
with delicate colour schemes.
especially in the bathroom. If you’re worried it will look
too utilitarian, don’t forget it can be polished down for a
sleek, smooth finish.
Velvet
Luscious velvet has been seen everywhere in 2018, most
notably in sofas and soft furnishings.
In 2019, swap it for: Passementerie.
Passementerie is the art of making elaborate trimmings
or edges; think fringing and tassels. Sumptuously retro,
this trend will be seen in vibrant colour combinations and
unusual shapes. It’s the perfect way to accessorise a plain
background and adds a fabulous, flirty feel and texture
too.
Terracotta and Rust
Bold and non-conformist, tones of terracotta and rust
featured in many homes this year.
In 2019, swap it for: Honey and nude.
2019 will call for a far more elegant palette of warm,
autumnal shades that will melt into the New Year. Utterly
warming shades of classic cashmere, sand and oatmeal are
the perfect place to start.
SellHouseFast selected the biggest trends with
inspiration from Livingetc and Elle Décor in 2018 and
sourced alternatives to swap them for in 2019.
Brass
With copper fading fast in 2017, brass became the metal
finish to experiment with in 2018.
In 2019, swap it for: Concrete.
All things industrial will be a big trend in 2019. Tough
yet practical, concrete is a great addition to the home,
Terrazzo Floors
With its many colour combinations, alternative flooring
made an impact in 2018.
In 2019, swap it for: Scallops and scales.
In 2019, interiors will dive into the ocean (thank Sir David
Attenborough for this trend!) Curved, scalloped furniture
will be a big trend in living spaces and bedrooms. While
mermaid and fish scale tiles will breathe life into every
bathroom or kitchen surface.
