Renowned designers and influencers Will Taylor and Becki Owens joined Andersen at the International Builders' Show 2020. After presenting in the Andersen booth, they both walked the show floor, searching for the trends that will shape design in 2020.
Check out the eight trends they found!
Will has been blogging about his love of colorful design, fashion and travel since 2009 on his website Bright Bazaar. Forbes listed him in the top five influencers in home decor and design, and his two bestselling design books have been translated into 12 languages. Will’s accessible approach to design and fashion has led to more than 2.6 million fans across his social media channels, including Instagram, and to hosting design segments for Good Morning America.
Matte black has been trending for a while now and it’s not showing any sign of going anywhere. From lighting to hardware to windows, it was far and away the most regularly used finish at the show. Many brands I spoke with at the show confirmed it is becoming one of the most popular options with clients and customers.
Across the show I couldn’t help but notice the abundance of minimal, modern and clean lines. This was expected in appliances, but I also saw these in windows and lighting, too. Consumers are seeking options without fancy patterns or prints that could detract from their surrounding environment. Using products with clean lines helps to make an interior feel more open, light and less cluttered — a popular theme for the home as modern life has us feeling overwhelmed and exhausted with constant connectivity.
Composites are looking more natural than ever before. From roofing and decking to windows and siding, I was taken aback by the beautiful, natural-looking wood grains and rich colors. People are now expecting performance and aesthetic combined and won’t compromise on either, so quality has also improved across the board.
With new technology available, brands are offering customers and clients new levels of customization not seen before – including customized shower heads! The trend of a personalized, tailored look is set to continue to build as people want their home to reflect who they are.
