A new season arrives and it’s time to change your home’s look. If you live in Yucatán or in a warm-climate city, these design trends can make your spaces look brand new. Materials, colours and the latest in accessories.

Living in Mérida: a must for decorating your new home this 2020

Remember to choose materials and designs that have an affinity with natural colours and textures.

1. Antique objects with modern notes

For a coffee or dining table, a 2020 design trend is to choose antique pieces made in modern materials.

Choosing these objects ensures contrast of shapes and delicate details. For example, gleaming metals add a sumptuous note to rough, uneven surfaces. For a better result, look for these features in glassware, vases and cushions.

2. Introspection and minimalism

Living in Mérida offers the chance to live in old mansions with super spacious rooms. For them, minimalism is a great option.

This trend, marked by soft, introspective colours and a calm tonal scheme, creates atmospheres of meditation and harmony. So this 2020 trend removes the unnecessary and leans towards the functional. Less is more. In that sense, pure, modern lines will dominate in various furniture pieces.

3. 2020 colour trends

If we think of trends and colours, living in Mérida, Yucatán, calls to mind warm, welcoming tones. To bright colours dominated by white, next year adds paler, softer notes, creating clean palettes that include light grey, dark pinks, blue-green, softened olives and illuminating mustards.

There’s also room for natural, earthy environments, which are linked to nature and bring well-being. Alternatives such as sand or a variety of earth colours are essential in living rooms, gardens and even more private spaces like bedrooms.

4. Natural materials

Without doubt, if you’re moving to Mérida, Yucatán, baskets and boxes handmade with natural henequen fibres can’t be missing.

These items decorate spaces and create calm, restorative corners. From a small bathroom to a study or dining room, they’re very functional and super attractive objects. So in 2020 they’re essential.

5. Potted plants

Plants, trees and shrubs are common in patios and gardens. In 2020, plants will triumph indoors, as long as they come with a good container or pot.

These objects, which can be true works of art, will be a must next season. But they should have details with metallic accents and be made of concrete or wood.

6. Soft textures, organic and irregular shapes

Including soft textures in bedding and linens is cosy, especially if you’re moving to Mérida, Yucatán, or a tropical-climate city, where the surroundings are relaxed and calm.

This year, the retro-modern feel combines nostalgic notes with fun rounded shapes and graphic prints. Imperfect outlines are one of the keys. So we’ll see it in furniture and decorative objects such as cushions.

Colours? Shine is welcome, but in a medium tone and anchored in rich navy blue and brown.

Organic shapes will also dominate in 2020. They add a sophisticated, clever feel to spaces. Consider including them in table linen, blankets, cushions and decorative items.

7. Furniture with pure and irregular lines

While the trends name minimalism the winner, with its pure, straight lines, next year it will share the podium with irregular shapes, which will be part of undemanding functional pieces whose bold, asymmetrical forms will contrast with soft, nostalgic tones.

For this kind of furniture, the trend colours will be: pink, pale mint green, rust, ochre, blue and deep black.
