Six interior design trends to try this year and the ones to ditch – Telegraph.co.uk

Grey has been the standout paint colour that has defined the past decade, in all its shades, from dove through to charcoal. After years of magnolia and off-white, grey felt fresh and cool; and its also incredibly versatile, working with most other colours. For that reason, its too soon to say that its over. But as with anything that saturates the market so completely, its being phased out in favour of other colours that offer a new look.

Warmer shades such as pink, peach and oatmeal have been gradually replacing grey as the choice for a more neutral palette, but trend forecasters such as WGSN are predicting a move towards pale green. It ties in with the current preoccupation with nature and plants, and offers a calm counterpoint to a turbulent outside world according to Dulux, whose version of the shade, Tranquil Dawn, is its colour of the year for 2020. Combine it with darker greens or warmer pinky tones to stop it from looking too sickly; painting a room in more than one colour is another current decorating trend.
