Interior design trends - What to expect in 2020
As we step into a new decade we look into what will be trending across the interior world this coming year, and how these trends can pair back effortlessly with Tasmanian Timber.
Real indoor plants take over, classic interiors make a return, industrial design continues to decline in popularity and earthy tones provide the backdrop and palette for what should be a time for classic and colourful interior design in Australia.
No More Industrial Chic
The world is harsh and cold enough these days, so as people endeavour to bring more life back into their homes they are looking for spaces that nurture and envelope them. Polished concrete is out and warmer flooring options like Tasmanian Timber are in as people want rooms that let them sink into the important things in life.
Going Green
If you’re a fan of the humble house plant you’ll be excited to hear that the trend should be continuing into the next decade, with interior design magazines like Elle Decor championing them and the life they bring into your living spaces. Just don’t go overboard, one nice, real indoor plant helps to give layers and personality to a space but the more is not the merrier when it comes to your lounge room if you are wanting to maintain a stylish abode over a cluttered jungle.
If you’re bringing the outside in Tasmanian Timber is the perfect foundation to a warm and sustainable aesthetic. See our range of six designer colours here.

An Australiana Colour Palette Reigns Supreme.
Say goodbye to the cool tones that have ruled for so many years. A balance of rust reds, mustards and olive greens play perfectly against a foundation of timber. This trend makes a definite impact, but it adds more warmth than it is overbearing.
Unsure if this warmer palette is you? Test it out. These colours can be easily adapted through small interior furnishings like Tasmanian Oak accents, feature pillows, throws and small artworks if you aren’t wanting to jump onto painting your master bedroom wall olive green just yet.
“Shades of chocolate brown, wine, olive green, and yellow ochre are all taking over in homes. We love substituting these warm, natural colours for a neutral on the sofa or walls.”
