The flow-on effect will feature black as the main look. Matte black will also make a strong appearance on the homeware scene. 2019 will also be the year where lighting, furniture, and home accessories will be in black.
Sustainable/Ethical Design
As more industries look to become environment-friendly, 2019 will see a shift towards sustainable and ethical design. We could see a rise in sustainable fabrics and natural fibers on throw pillows, cushions, and furniture. This trend cuts across different genres whether French Provincial, coastal, or Scandinavian inspired interior. Very soon we will see more eco-friendly materials as the industry does its share in reducing carbon footprints worldwide.
With sustainable fabrics, we could see more products made from materials like animal-free leather, genetically modified yeast, or worm-free silk.
Green

As mentioned above, we will see kitchens with a matte finish with colors ranging from graphite to navy blue and black. Door profiles will come in setter style to ultra-minimal iterations.
Art deco
2019 will see the rise of art deco style interior furniture and homewares. Regarded as the most glamorous and prestigious interior design style in history, this trend is already prominent in Hollywood Regency interiors that feature curves, velvet, mixed metals, and mirrors). The art deco inspired design is also expected to cross over to the mainstream. Art deco style interior is timeless, inspiring, and opulent.

The Return of Terrazzo
Terrazzo made waves as an interior design style in the ’80s. This year, it makes a return to home interior decorations. 2019 will see terrazzo inspired designs on carpets, wallpapers, and others.

Guided contrast
The likes of velvet and hides combined with a bright highlight of brass, iron, and gold plated metals highlight the trend of combining metals with softer contrast textures and surface finishes.
