Home Trends
to Look Out for in 2020 By Lauren Parker, AAA San Ramon

hile 2019 proved to be a more subdued, earthy year for home décor and design, lovers of everything lavish and extravagant will be pleased to hear that more decadent styles are on the horizon. Here are some new home trends to look out for in 2020.
The Roaring 20’s Are Back
Makes sense after all. Expect to see furniture and home accents incorporate aspects of art deco and art nouveau — serpentine lines and whiplash curves inspired by nature; bold, graphic designs; repeating patterns; and vibrant color palettes.
Working With the Elements
As we continue to deal with increasingly destructive weather, expect more homes to be equipped with new and improved systems and appliances. Fire suppression systems are gaining popularity in areas susceptible to wildfires. For the increasing number of power outages, homeowners are choosing liquid natural gas generators which are
easier to access during an emergency, are more affordable, efficient, and burn more cleanly than oil or diesel.
Propagating Plants
From succulent gardens to hanging plants, greenery grew in popularity (pun intended) in 2019 and is here to stay in 2020. Lush trends you can look forward to include living décor, garden rooms, and colorful foliage. Happy gardening!
Bold Colors & Designs
If 2019 was about minimalist design, 2020 is predicted to be all about the bold and bright. Think bathroom designs that pop, over-the-top window treatments, floral wallpaper that’s anything but demure, geometric and abstract backsplashes, and many more opportunities to flex those creative muscles.
