Goodbye to total white, welcome to earth tones
Mónica Saravia, a renowned interior designer from Santa Marta, shares the color trends for next year, both for walls and furniture.
The colors chosen for the home, both for the walls and the furniture, are key to the decor. Shades can not only evoke sensations and emotions, but also influence the identity of the spaces. They are also responsible for providing a touch of spaciousness and modernity. Mónica Saravia, a renowned interior designer from Santa Marta, shares the color trends for next year and how to adapt them to each individual's unique needs.
On walls
Designer Mónica Saravia asserts that pure white has lost its prominence, giving way to other shades, such as peach white or almond white.
“There are different types of white that allow us to keep our home white and give it a feeling of spaciousness and warmth,” he says.
The trick to enhancing a space lies in the focal points, so she recommends covering some walls with wallpaper or using rugs as if they were paintings.
“The idea is that with textures we can achieve changes without much effort,” he explains.
Remember that in 2019 the trends are soft and warm tones, within the range of earth tones.
In furniture
Interior designer Mónica Saravia says soft colors are also a trend in furniture.
"My recommendation is always to use neutral-based furniture, allowing the colors of each season to be brought in through accessories," she says.
In bedrooms, for example, furniture with neutral bases can be perfectly combined with accessories, such as comforters in various colors.
In living and dining rooms, cushions, rugs, lamps, paintings, and other decorative elements will accentuate the space.
In woods
When it comes to wood, whether it's used on tables, chair or sofa legs, or cabinet doors, the trend is toward lighter, natural tones.
“The more natural the wood looks, the more desirable it has become,” says decorator Mónica Saravia.
"We started with dark woods and solid-color furniture; now we want the wood grain to show through. We're working with finishes that allow us to feel the textures," he adds.
