Brighter colours in homes is a trend expected to continue in 2020 whether through wall colours, furniture or pops through accessories.

Industrial Style

A lot of thought goes into fine-tuning material to come up with charming décor. The result is a structure with a visually appealing modern look. It’s essentially the use of unconventional material in design and construction.
Minimalism
Minimalism involves the elimination of excessive features during design and renovations. For instance, you may reduce colours to be used in painting a building to around two or three. The same goes for other superfluous elements in a structure. Didn’t they say simplicity is an art?
Home Automation
Home automation entails controlling your home’s appliances using a smart device or remote. This technique cuts electricity costs and can save an average thermostat user a significant amount each year.
Furthermore, home automation can motorize window locks and openers, adjust cabinetries, monitor entry points, and control home water points and appliances. According to Redfin, more than 30 billion devices will be connected to the IoT by 2020.
Multi-purpose Spaces
