Home Style for The Roaring 20s
According to the homes experts for luxury sheepskin retailer Jacobs & Dalton the main focus in interiors for homeowners in 2020 is on reconnecting with nature, but cleverly and subtly.
Scandi concept trends such as hygge and lagom have opened a gateway to a new era of design that focuses on comfort rather than formality.
Where the glitz and glam of the Jazz Age once ruled supreme, today we have a more minimalist home environment – think natural, organic materials rather than decadent, abstract design.
- Take those bold floral wallpapers of the 1920s and rethink them as framed botanical prints in the 2020s
- Replace polished, geometric flooring designs with solid wood that shows off its stunning natural grain
- Swap bold, geometric rugs for simple but effective shaggy sheepskins.
The Roaring 2020s living space is simple, comfortable and intimate.
Subtle natural elements
The design team for Portfolio Home stress the beneficial effect of incorporating natural themes in the home.
“Although often taken for granted, going outside and exploring nature has a positive impact on wellbeing and can help to relieve the monotony of everyday life.
“However, it’s also important to add that simple changes in your own home can also play a crucial role – by bringing the outside in.
“Introducing florals, fauna and light natural tones such as green mint, add subtle natural elements.
“For instance, incorporating soft furnishings with floral or animal motifs and pale/mid-tone colours can help create a nature-loving look. This works well with wicker, terracotta and ochre colours and provides a popular, earthy and natural interior scheme for any room.”
