DESIREE BURNS INTERIORS

There are so many things we wish we could predict about the future, but on the design front, we’re more than curious as to which styles will be making major waves in the years to come.

We spoke with designers to gather their thoughts and predictions on the looks and trends that we’ll be seeing in our homes down the line. Read on for their thoughts on the future of design.

04 Outdoor Elements

Go ahead and embrace the natural, urges designer Desiree Burns. “I see more outdoor materials being brought in,” she says. “Lots of earthy textures and larger format tiles traditionally used for exteriors are now being used for interiors.”

Specifically, Burns cites terracotta tiles, cement tiles, and large format stone tiles, which are being introduced in kitchens, bathrooms, or interior accent walls. 

And the benefits of bringing the outdoors in are more than just aesthetic. “We now know that being in nature or surrounding ourselves inside with hints of nature boosts our mood, reduces stress levels, and even reduces blood pressure," Magriñá adds. “Now that everyone is spending more time at home and more companies will be offering work-from-home flexibility, it’s all about making our homes as peaceful, supportive, and serene as possible. Bringing nature in helps with all of this.”
