7 Ideas for Your Interior in 2020 Trends

Together with OBI experts, we talk about which trends of the upcoming year promise to be long-lasting and what you need to bring fashionable ideas into your own interior. Eco-style The more we lose contact with nature, the stronger our attraction to it. Eco-style takes from nature everything best: naturalness, simplicity, and authenticity. In the new year, interiors with natural materials will become more elegant; designers will add more accents from brass and marble — vases, candlesticks, decor. Cotton and linen fabrics will be present in large quantities, but the edge treatment of curtains and throws should be neat — without any hint of boho style. Design: Aiana Ahmad, Tatiana Karyakina Successful purchases: Wallpaper compact vinyl VernissAGe "Linen", OBI. The coating has a strong felt base and a pattern resembling linen cloth. The design does not require joining, significantly speeding up the installation process. 3D wall panel Kronowall "Grow Barnwood", 12 mm thick, OBI. It offers various laying and decoration options: evenly, in a checkerboard pattern, or randomly. The panel easily accommodates built-in lights. And it is also moisture-resistant — can be used in bathrooms and toilets. Laminate Classen Ballade Arcadia 32nd grade, OBI. The narrow board format with a width of 16 cm visually enlarges the room. The four-sided bevel highlights the beauty of the wood grain. Its durable surface leaves no marks from heavy furniture, shoes, or office chair rollers. Additionally, the laminate is environmentally safe and meets sanitary norms for children's rooms and bedrooms. Laminate Tarkett Navigator Bospor 33rd grade with a four-sided bevel, OBI accurately reproduces the look and structure of natural wood. Dark floors Dark floors are returning to fashion, creating a character-filled interior that grounds the space and makes it cozier. They work well in loft, country, minimalism, and eco-style decor. Design: Anastasia Kovalchuk Successful purchases: Parquet board Barlinek "Chocolate Oak", OBI made from rich chocolate-colored oak looks solid and respectable. Parquet flooring is excellent at conducting and retaining heat and can be laid over electric or water-based heated floors. PVC floor tiles Vivo Fontana, OBI stand out for durability and moisture resistance, suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, corridors. Laminate Kronospan Expert Choice "Oak Bardy" 33rd grade, OBI with a board-sawn surface. Thanks to such a pattern, the laminate can be used in any modern, classic, or ethnic interior style. Geometric patterns Grid, stripes, hexagons add elegance to the interior. The main rule for their use in the interior is no rules. Thus, geometric patterns can be used to decorate textiles and room walls. Pay attention not only to wallpapers but also to alternative materials — 3D panels and PVC panels, which do not require perfect wall preparation. Design: Irina Ezhova Successful purchases: Gypsum 3D panel DECO LINE "Square", OBI made according to Italian technology with reinforcing additives, has unique sound and thermal insulation properties, is completely eco-friendly, and fire-resistant. PVC panel set DELTA FUN with geometric patterns in the 60s style, OBI. They feature easy installation, simple maintenance, and moisture-resistant surfaces. Carpet Moldabela SOHO, OBI made from polypropylene does not fade because it is dyed during manufacturing. Due to its high density, it resists flattening. Black and white marble mosaic StarMosaic Wild Stone, OBI. It is manufactured using the same technique as ceramic granite tiles: it is wear-resistant, does not fade, retains its vibrant color, easily cleaned, and does not absorb moisture. Vintage accents Everything returns — and now retro items from the 50s, 70s, and 80s coexist with modern finishes and furniture. The twentieth century is fading into the past and becoming a source of inspiration for new generations of architects and designers. The key is not to overdo the retro theme to avoid ending up in a "grandmother's" interior. Design: Studio 3.14 Successful purchases: Pendant GEMMA, OBI in modern retro style with gold accents fits perfectly into a contemporary or Scandinavian interior. Yellow dining chair OBI with a polyurethane seat and wooden legs. Pendant ARTE Lamp, OBI with five shades in universal white color made from metal and a material imitating natural wood.

Navy Blue Color of the Year according to Pantone is classic blue, meaning in the next year you will see blue finishes and accents in many interiors. Designers dare to repaint walls, while others are advised to add blue elements in the form of decorative cushions, carpets, pictures, and window textiles.

Wool-free carpet "Laos-Blend", OBI made from acrylic and viscose with a latex base. Dense portiere curtain "Jacquard", OBI will shield you from bright sunlight and serve as a perfect accent in a neutral interior. Botanical prints Prints with tropical motifs will not give way in the next year either. They will be joined by floral patterns: not small flowers like on cotton dresses, but large beautiful buds on a monochrome background. These go well with black accessories and gold-light fixtures. Design: Tatiana Stykova, Olga Marchenko Design: Olga Zaretskikh Successful purchases: Wooden mini cabinet OBI for storing small items with a tropical pattern.
