Design and environmentally-friendly choices tips and ideas
Furniture trends for 2019
Industrial and rustic style, natural elements and materials, play of light and colored stained glass, retro and chic furnishings, and a comeback of rugs and carpets.
And all this without forgetting the focus on recycling, renewable energies, and sustainable materials. There are many innovations that characterize the furniture trends for 2019.
If interior design involves environmental respect
Many diverse ideas for eco-friendly furnishing are emerging. Starting with the choice of furnishings made from ecological materials, such as wood, stone, or marble scraps.
More alternative but still valid in the green perspective are materials like cork or bamboo. Toxic substances should not be used in the production of eco-friendly furniture, including adhesives, paints, and finishing products. Having plants at home also helps purify the air and reduce humidity. For outdoor spaces like balconies and eco-friendly terraces, they should be adorned with plants that attract bees and butterflies, perhaps even with pesticide-free fruits and vegetables. The irrigation of plants should be done to avoid water wastage.
Glass: between plays of light and textures
The design solutions that can be achieved with glass are countless and highly sought after in 2019. Glass is not only used for doors and wardrobes but also for partition solutions with a minimal frame and furniture accessories. In the 2019 interior design trends, glass plays a prominent role. From textured and colorful glass to decorated and pleated glass, the options are varied, as long as it's not simple transparent glass. Glass is a valuable tool for creating plays of light and reflections, allowing illumination to pass from one room to another. It also provides a sense of spaciousness and openness in spaces compared to traditional partitions made of masonry or other materials. Various techniques are used to create decorative patterns on glass.
In the spotlight: Viennese straw
Natural yet elegant, perforated yet durable. In 2019, "Viennese Straw" has made a comeback in interior design. This material is no longer just synonymous with tradition; it has returned as a trend in interiors, appearing in classic pieces or reinterpreted with a contemporary twist. "Viennese Straw" evokes the atmosphere of Viennese cafés, being light yet sophisticated just in the right way. It's ideal in any environment, such as a bed headboard or a rocking chair, and even on wardrobe doors. The frames to pair with it can be either light or dark. Of course, it should be carefully matched with bedding and curtain fabrics in the room, and perhaps some retro furnishings.
Rustrial Style: When Industrial Meets Rustic
Functional and typical of New York lofts, yet rustic, this style combines functionality and warmth seamlessly. This means welcoming parquet floors, exposed ventilation ducts that help create atmosphere, steel hoods, open brick shelves and walls alongside white-painted ones, snack tables or large wooden tables, tiles combined with concrete, and industrial lamps. It achieves a minimal and raw effect while remaining cozy and glamorous.
Fabrics: The Grand Return of Rugs and Carpet
The desire to use touch extensively in the home and return to a more vintage style has made a comeback. Thus, it's time for rugs and carpets on the floor and even on the walls. Carpets can come in different types, adapting to the style and size of the rooms, as well as the color of the furniture and the type of fabric required. For those who don't want a radical change by covering the entire floor with carpet, a rug can be a valid alternative, similar but easily removable and replaceable, covering almost the entire floor in the rooms.
