Floral wallpaper is very in this year. And we’re not talking about your grandmother’s dainty florals. We’re talking big, bold florals that make a statement. With wallpaper making a comeback, we're also seeing accessible ways to install it ourselves. If you can attach a sticker, you’ll be able to conquer peel-and-stick wallpaper. Whether you rent or own, you can take on this fun home improvement project to help brighten your living room or kid’s room.

Natural decor features are definitely in this year. Try to incorporate more plants into your living room, as well as earth tones and natural wood. Not only is this decor pleasant to look at, but it’s effective for improving relaxation and reducing stress. Plants can also act as natural air purifiers to improve the air quality in your home.

With everyone staying home more than ever before, this is a practical home improvement trend to come out of 2020. We need every inch of our space to be multi-purpose, and there are many creative ways to make this happen, no matter how small your home is. Need a home office, but have no space for a traditional desk? Try a fold-up wall desk in your living room. Or consider stealing space from your little-used dining room. Forgo a traditional dining table, and instead, make use of smaller side tables that can be pushed together for work or entertaining. This can also give you a chance to rethink your kid’s room deco and create a designated play or study area to keep them busy while you work.

There's a lot you can do with items you already own to make your home feel up to date. A fresh coat of paint on an old bookshelf, kitchen cabinets, or interior doors can brighten up the space. Bold colours are in this year—as Pantone’s colour of the year, Classic Blue, will show—and adding some bright accents to a room can help it feel fresh. Now’s also the time to tackle repainting any rooms that need it. In addition, reupholstering outdated furniture is a great way to keep beloved items around and make them feel new. Velvet, especially in jewel tones, is making a strong comeback this year.

Gone are the days of splashing paint on a simple accent wall in a darker colour. Now, the trend is to use statement tiles on floors, walls, and backsplashes. Even if you’re not ready for a reno, you can achieve this look with paint stencils, wallpaper, or stick-on tiles that simulate ceramic, marble, or even natural wood. If you need to brighten up your kitchen deco or if your bathroom is feeling outdated, it is simple to install these stick-on tiles yourself.

Don't feel you need to stick with one type of decor style in your space. Matchy-matchy is so passé! Vintage finds and modern furniture can happily co-exist in one space. Do you love Scandinavian chic, Bohemian, and mid-century modern? The magic is in the mix. The key to successfully incorporating different decorating styles is to keep the overall colour palette, including wood tones, in the same family. Finishing touches like a carpet or curtains in the same colourways can help bring disparate pieces together.

Try these on-trend home deco ideas to keep busy this winter, and increase your enjoyment of your interior spaces.
