Interior Design Trends for New Home Builds in 2020

 

Here’s what’s trending for home design in New Zealand 2020.

1. Matte finishes on door handles and tapware

Matte finishes are the new trend for new builds in 2020. In the past it used to be that everyone wanted chrome, then it moved to black, now its brushed nickel for everything from door handles to tapware.

 

2. Natural timbers and moody colours in kitchens and living areas

Interior design trends for 2020 new builds include lots of natural timbers and colour is having a revival after a period of internal walls being painted white to create a neutral backdrop.

 

3. Window casings for better home ventilation

With new regulatory requirements for homes to have proper ventilation from every room in the house, passive ventilation systems are trending in 2020. In the past, window joinery was geared towards ensuring a tight seal so no air could enter the room.

 

4. Single colour kitchen appliances and bathroom fittings

Up until recently, stainless steel was the must have for kitchens, from sinks to appliances. Although still hugely popular, people are now using black as a statement by choosing to have all their appliances and fixtures, including in the bathroom, in one colour.

With the wide range of colour options available, using one colour throughout the kitchen, including the stove, creates a dramatic and eye-catching effect.
