What I'm Excited to See More of in 2020
Today I thought I’d share a few design elements that I’ve been loving lately, and am looking forward to seeing more of in the coming year. I’m not big on design trends, but I always love watching the design world evolve and seeing what we bring into it each year. The following are elements that I’ve noticed have gained popularity throughout the last year (or more) that I’m loving and hope to continue seeing more of.
Warm Brown Tones
Whether it’s a couple of well placed accessories, or a piece of furniture, I’m really into the warmth that small doses of brown tones introduce into a space. They give the design so much depth and contrast without the starkness that black can sometimes bring.

Whimsical Floral Arrangements
I’ve been loving all of the more natural, wild, and whimsical floral arrangements I’ve been seeing lately, and have started trying to create some on my own. I’ve also been enjoying the muted color palettes in the arrangements along with the traditional pedestal vases that have been becoming more prevalent lately.

Vintage Art
Vintage art, whether real or faux, really adds so much character to a space. It helps to make a design feel more collected, especially if you’re using a lot of new pieces or your space is lacking in architectural interest.

Putty colored cabinetry + Natural Marble Countertops
I know that natural marble countertops come with a lot of disclaimers, and aren’t great for, well, a lot of real life, but the beauty of them just cannot be matched. I love the movement and character they add to a space, and they have been the perfect match for the putty colored cabinetry we’ve been seeing lately. I’ve been so drawn to these neutral putty tones, because they still have the light and bright feel of an all white kitchen, but are just a bit softer and add so much warmth.
