Back to nature or glitz & glamour

Current interior design trends range from simple to opulent

Furniture made of light wood, fabrics made of velvet and silk, accessories in pastel shades: This year's home trends are diverse and range from simple, natural self-made products in the sense of "back to nature" to the extravagant glamour or metallic look.

A trendy Munich furniture designer is celebrating the "new opulence," while a renowned interior design magazine is highlighting the simple and unpretentious trend of "quiet surroundings." Those seeking inspiration will find some suggestions here.

Ice cream colors bring good cheer

"Show your true colors" is the motto for the current interior design trend. However, this refers less to bright colors and more to softer pastel shades: ice cream colors like vanilla, strawberry, mint green, or pistachio are already bringing summer and good cheer into the home.

The color of the year 2019 brings an extra dose of freshness: a warm coral red with nuances of pink, orange and gold sets lively accents, especially in combination with turquoise and sea motifs.

The new shades not only look absolutely delicious, but they also bring a fresh flair to your home. Moreover, these summery powder tones are not only wonderfully combinable with each other, but also work beautifully as colorful accents against bolder colors, such as soft pink cushions on a petrol-blue sofa. The powder tones—as well as the coral red—look particularly stunning with white furniture, light wood, and select accessories in warm metals like copper, brass, and gold.

"Slow Living" – simple and unfussy

The light and cheerful colors fit the Scandinavian interior design trend. Through "slow living," which creates an oasis of calm with simple furniture and textiles, clean lines, and warm light: simple, tidy, and uncluttered.

"Modern Glam trend" – vibrant and sensual

In contrast to this minimalism, the "Modern Glam trend" is defined. This new glamour celebrates the "joy of playful decorating," marking a departure from the purist restraint of recent years. However, here too, less is more: the aim is not a ostentatious, pompous baroque style, but rather a vibrant, sensual, and warm ambiance—glamorous and elegant—in which gold or brass accents are used sparingly.

A mix of eras and a collage of styles: The new glam trend isn't bound to any one interior design style and is meant to complement not only retro furnishings but also modern smart homes and functional furniture. Favorites of "Modern Glam" include dynamic Art Deco style elements reminiscent of the film set of the hit series "Babylon Berlin.".

The desire for sensuality is expressed not least in the soft velvet coverings of the upholstered furniture, silky shimmering surfaces and gemstone colors such as blue, green and golden yellow.
