2020 Home Decor Trends

Our Favourite Home Decor Trends for 2020

Happy New Year to all! We are blessed with another year filled with promise! The new year brings a lot of excitement and joy however it can also seem daunting as we never know what 2020 can bring. Why not grab the future by the horns and create the look you want for your home with a fresh new start.

If there is one perfect moment to update your home, it certainly is at the start of a new decade. The past 10 years we saw the same old, same old home decor, now it’s time to change things up in your home. If you want to make a serious statement this year, try to incorporate at least one of the latest home decor trends of 2020.

Hues of Blue

The 2020 Pantone of the Year is Classic Blue, which means you can expect to see a lot of this navy blue shade. Luckily, blue is a very versatile and sophisticated colour. The Navy Blue shade provides a perfect balance of contrast for home interiors in traditional and modern homes.

Vintage and Patina Accents 

In 2020 one of the emerging design trends is an appreciation of patina and age. Vintage furniture with accents like spooled legs, spindles and other details are incorporated in home decors – but don’t expect to see it everywhere. Patina accents come with age and is played out in colour trends as clay and terracotta as well as decorative items such as earthenware and ceramics.

Curved Sofa

2020 Home decor trends will transport you back to another decade. Sofa designs with a focus on curved lines will give you a throwback to the 60’s and 70’s, however it is a top trend for this year. The Born Aquillius Chesterfield Sofa upholstered in leather is a true embodiment of this trend. This trend is perfect for an update to your living room.

Floral Wallpaper

Although floral wallpaper has been around for years it still remains a pretty pattern to have in your home. In 2020 there is an updated to this classic trend, large scale patterns with bold colours and even metallic versions are here to stay. This trend is best used in powder bathrooms and foyers.

Performance Fabrics

Performance fabrics have changed the way we live by making every room functional for the entire family. These fabrics can be used in the dirtiest family rooms but also in the most opulent living and dining rooms whilst maintaining a fashionable aesthetic. The leading Performance Fabric we use is surely FibreGuard distributed by Home Fabrics. You can find out more about their stain-resistant fabric here.

Upholstered Walls

Be bold they say. This year make a statement with an upholstered wall or tall headboard. You can either opt for a half wall upholstery or it can be the entire wall. There are countless designs and patterns that you can choose from – our favourite is still the everlasting diamond fold.

2020 is looking pretty bright literally and figuratively with wild colours, sustainable decor, and floral prints. Born Furniture is super excited for the new year, and we can’t wait to make your interior design dreams come true! Contact us today and start renewing your home.

TOUCHSTONE From FibreGuard

Drawing inspiration from a paired down, classical colour palette that works perfectly with that authentic, raw chesterfield shape, the following collections would work perfectly:

VELVETS

In velvet, Moulin Rouge has two phenomenal designs for this type of application. Deluxe and Lesch, the deep, saturated colours have that timeless appeal, ideal for a Chesterfield sofa.

MIMIC SKINS

An alternative to leather would be Touchstone and there are two designs, in particular, that stand out: Triton and Rex. They are so close to real skin but come with the added benefits of FibreGuard specifications which sets this collection apart.

Twice is a mock suede collection from HF Basics. Coming in 40 000 Martindale rubs with a selection of traditional colours, this it is also completely reversible – offering two colour-ways from one piece of material.

Born Furniture specializes in 100% Genuine leather chesterfield sofas. We have the largest range of Chesterfield sofas in Africa. Our Chesterfield range is manufactured in 100% genuine leather. Alternatively, our range is also available in the finest fabrics. Our frames carry a lifetime guarantee and our signature foam a five-year warranty.  

Born Furniture is excited to announce that we don’t only manufacture luxury furniture but have added interior design to our line of expertise. Our furniture is made to perfection and needs to be displayed in an opulent space. The correct interior design can enhance the mood in your living room. It also compliments your home’s unique personality by bringing out certain characteristics. Interior design plays a key role in the functionality of your building. It is the process of shaping the experience of interior space. When doing interior design, it is necessary to think of the house or business space as a totality. One needs to keep design elements in mind and ensure that these elements complement one another. Let me mention the different elements with a short description.

The different design elements that you have to keep in mind is; balance, rhythm, details and an ascendant focal point in your space. Balance is important for the equal distribution of visual weight in a room. A focal point must be dominant to draw attention. It must also be interesting enough to encourage the viewer to look further. Rhythm is defined as continuity, recurrence or organized movement. Lastly, everything is in the details from the trimming on the lampshade to choosing the correct lighting.

In my opinion, when it comes to design, colour is more important than any other element.  Taking a look at interior design trends, the colour trends at the moment are warm hues of pastel pinks paired with rose gold. A Barlow Chesterfield, master crafted in ballerina pink leather works really well. By adding a rose quartz or two, it can be a good addition to the texture and soulful energy in the room.

Seeing that Serenity blue is the pantone of the year we suggest a sand and blue color combination. Another combination you can try is the Strauss Chesterfield  in Gazelle Taupe Leather against a Royal Blue accent wall. Create an upbeat rhythm with some blue and grey scatter cushions with a voluptuous throw for the cold winter nights.

Born Furniture’s Chesterfield sofa collection are for the individuals with great taste. With so many different colours and types of leathers to choose from, the colour combinations for your space are endless.

The History of the Chesterfield Sofa

The Chesterfield sofa share a complex history, alongside the elite, the privileged and aristocrats.

History reveals that these types of couches have been commonly used in the confines of old institutions, government buildings and luxurious homes for generations. The name Chesterfield is by all means a complex term, coined by equally complex roots. The name itself is supported by time, in line with history as well as social issues and tradition.
A room, in the 1900’s, would not be complete, unless the master owns a Chesterfield sofa. Gentlemen, wearing hats and bowlers, seek momentary refuge in their respective morning rooms, laying their backs onto these comfortable Chesterfields. On the other hand, women, donning their formal dresses, are all glammed up, busying themselves with a cup of tea and biscuits, while enjoying their time in these leather seats. Comfort and sophistication define a leather armchair and Chesterfield sofas represent it all.

Here are several theories supporting the history of Leather Chesterfields and how come it has been the sofa of both elegance and tradition:

  • History suggests that it was originally commissioned by the Fourth Earl of Chesterfield namely Philip Dormer Stanhope.
    Philip_Stanhope_4th_Earl_of_Chesterfield

    Philip Stanhope 4th Earl of Chesterfield

    Born on September 22, 1694, Philip Dormer Stanhope is a renowned diplomat, statesman and writer. His works and affinity for the classy and tasteful, is perceived to be the main reason why the famous leather armchair and Chesterfield sofa are given its proper name and distinction.

  • A Chesterfield is about buttons, leather and quilting. It is the furniture previously reserved for the upscale market. It is a mark of class and stature back in the old days. A chesterfield can be referred to as the “Mother of all Sofas” because of its elegance at an affordable price.
  • Both facts and myths are involved in tracing the Chesterfield sofas roots. Some claim that the constant use of the term, dating back in the 19th century, was started by the Americans and Canadians, who seem to use the word Chesterfield to refer to almost any settee, couch or armchair.
  • History and tradition defines a Chesterfield sofa and today, the elegance brought by these leather Chesterfields cannot be underestimated. Modern designers use Chesterfield sofas as inspiration while designing interiors for today’s homes and buildings. The sofas’ tufted back and all-leather base are still serving its purpose of comfort and style, alongside other modern trends.Today you can enjoy Leather Chesterfields Sofas without having the need to spend vast amounts money. Customization of these leather armchair and sofas are very much possible, given the numerous sellers and manufacturers. Leather choices, colors and designs are more varied and up-to-date. Truly, Chesterfield sofas have come a long way. These sofas are no longer the couch for the elite but the furniture of people with great taste.
    Reference: http://britishsofas.hubpages.com/hub/A-condensed-History-of-The-Chesterfield-Sofa

    Chesterfield sofas are all about the design and structure. The sofa’s quilted, buttoned upholstery and main use of premier leather makes the sofa a remarkable choice for the elite and well-to-do. The low-seat base and the couch’s rounded arms spell comfort, but at the same time, not forgetting the tradition, when it was firstly used. Traditionally made with buttoned backs and arms with a cushioned seat a more modern design feature is the fully buttoned Leather Chesterfield.
