\r\n\r\nWith the New Year on the horizon, we\u2019re setting our sights on the design trends set to sweep their way onto our Instagram feeds, Pinterest boards and homes throughout 2019. The coming year promises developments of existing trends as well as brand new styles meaning there is something for every home in the year ahead.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTerrazzo<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn a time where we are constantly bombarded with visuals, design needs to work harder to stand out from the crowd. In 2019, there is an increased focus on creating sensory and emotional responses through design \u2013 whether that be through bold colours, vibrant patterns or unusual textures.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"Terrazzo](\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/terrazzo-flooring-texture-1529487860-1.jpg\")
<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s no surprise then that we saw the first signs of Terrazzo making its way into homes this year. The hardwearing material is being used on everything from flooring to kitchen surfaces and shows no sign of losing popularity throughout 2019. Pinterest pins with the term \u201cterrazzo\u201d are up by more than 300% on last year.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat is terrazzo?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTerrazzo is a composite material, consisting of marble, glass, granite or even wood, set in cement or resin. Originally from Italy, terrazzo was used for floor and wall treatments, but due to the endless possibilities of colour, pattern and finish, it has become a popular material used in other areas of the home too.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDespite this sudden surge in popularity, terrazzo has actually been around for years – centuries in fact. Originating in 15th<\/sup>-century Italy, it was used for flooring in grand palazzos. Many may recognise it from the 1970s where it was often used on the floors of school and train stations.\u00a0 Now the composite material has been given a new lease of life.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"Terrazzo](\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TERRAZZO_KITCHEN_DYKE_DEAN_2048x2048.jpg\")

Terrazzo is made with chips of marble, quartz, granite and even glass set into concrete or clay. The chips come in many sizes and colour combinations \u2013 from monochrome patterns to vibrant colours allowing for a myriad of design possibilities. This wide variety of options means it can be incorporated into almost any style of home, from pastel-hued bathrooms to sleek, monochrome kitchens.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIts beauty is also anything but skin deep – the pattern goes all the way down, so it can be scuffed for centuries and still repolished to rescue its original beauty. While the base is usually made from concrete (not a material typically considered to be good for the environment) \u00adthe rest can be up to 80% recycled material. Recycled plastics and resins in a spectrum of colours are often used for the flecks as well as waste collected from the stone and marble industries.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"Terrazzo](\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/terrazzo-candle-tom-dixon2.jpg\")

But one of the key interior trends for 2019 is all about looking back. Our love of mid-century design has been prevalent for many years, but 2019 will see us looking to a different mid-century movement for inspiration \u2013 the classic luxury of 50s and 60s Italian design.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe trend is all about embracing and reinventing the highly stylised design movements of the mid-20th<\/sup> century and incorporating them into the luxurious interiors of today.\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nThe Hepburn sofa<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat does mid-century Italian design look like?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMany will be familiar with the work of Charles and Ray Eames<\/a><\/span>, Arne Jacobsen<\/span><\/a>, and Eero Sarinen<\/span><\/a> who are closely associated with iconic design from the 50s and 60s. They placed an emphasis on function and form, with a simple and uncomplicated aesthetic.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn comparison, mid-century Italian furniture is known for its beautiful colours, fine craftsmanship and luxurious materials. Shapes are often simple but have a feeling of old world elegance about them. This look has been updated for the modern day \u2013 1960s inspired colour clashes are encouraged with burnt red, peach, hazelnut and navy acting as the main hues. Dark walls form a dramatic backdrop to these sophisticated colour combinations.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMaterials are on the dark side too with a preference for walnut over oak as well as green and brown toned marble as an alternative to traditional white.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"Italian](\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Capture.jpg\")

But with people now looking to express their individuality through different avenues, the home is seeing a shift from bright whites to moody hues, from simple materials to more luxe styles.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe exaggerated curves and luxurious finishes of mid-century Italian design has been given new life, creating clean and modern spaces that are also moody and immersive. Dubbed the new minimalism, it\u2019s easy to see the appeal.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHow can you get mid-century Italian style in your home?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe key to this trend is to opt for designs that have an almost sculpture-like quality. Clean lines, elegant shapes and luxurious finishes create the sophisticated, elegant aesthetic synonymous with mid-century Italian design.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Clay Round Table by Desalto<\/a><\/span> was designed by prominent Milan designer, Marc Krusin. Each piece is hand finished with lava from Mount Etna using only a pallet knife. The circular top of the table balances, precariously, on top of a conical base adding a feel of refined drama.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Disc Side Table<\/span><\/a> features a dark green or brown marble top, as opposed to traditional white, making it an incredibly chic option for homes looking to channel the trend.\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nThe Clay Round table is finished with lava from Mount Etna<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat does mid-century Italian design look like?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMany will be familiar with the work of Charles and Ray Eames<\/a><\/span>, Arne Jacobsen<\/span><\/a>, and Eero Sarinen<\/span><\/a> who are closely associated with iconic design from the 50s and 60s. They placed an emphasis on function and form, with a simple and uncomplicated aesthetic.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn comparison, mid-century Italian furniture is known for its beautiful colours, fine craftsmanship and luxurious materials. Shapes are often simple but have a feeling of old world elegance about them. This look has been updated for the modern day \u2013 1960s inspired colour clashes are encouraged with burnt red, peach, hazelnut and navy acting as the main hues. Dark walls form a dramatic backdrop to these sophisticated colour combinations.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMaterials are on the dark side too with a preference for walnut over oak as well as green and brown toned marble as an alternative to traditional white.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nClashing colours bring mid-century Italian design into the modern age.

But with people now looking to express their individuality through different avenues, the home is seeing a shift from bright whites to moody hues, from simple materials to more luxe styles.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe exaggerated curves and luxurious finishes of mid-century Italian design has been given new life, creating clean and modern spaces that are also moody and immersive. Dubbed the new minimalism, it\u2019s easy to see the appeal.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHow can you get mid-century Italian style in your home?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe key to this trend is to opt for designs that have an almost sculpture-like quality. Clean lines, elegant shapes and luxurious finishes create the sophisticated, elegant aesthetic synonymous with mid-century Italian design.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Clay Round Table by Desalto<\/a><\/span> was designed by prominent Milan designer, Marc Krusin. Each piece is hand finished with lava from Mount Etna using only a pallet knife. The circular top of the table balances, precariously, on top of a conical base adding a feel of refined drama.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Disc Side Table<\/span><\/a> features a dark green or brown marble top, as opposed to traditional white, making it an incredibly chic option for homes looking to channel the trend.\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nThe Clay Round table is finished with lava from Mount Etna<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Innovation and experimentation has led to impressive material dupes that are indistinguishable from the real thing. Items made from recycled materials no longer look \u2018eco\u2019 meaning that responsible design isn\u2019t restricted to any one style. It\u2019s all about the materials, the processes and ultimately the environmental impact that the production of a design has.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nResponsible design can be applied to everything from furniture to lighting to homewares making it increasingly easy to buy items for your home that have a low carbon footprint. From the use of natural pigments through to unconventional discarded materials, expect to see much more responsible design heading to our homes.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHow can I make my home more sustainable?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAn easy place to start is your lighting where a number of brands are committed to reducing their environmental impact.

Clean lines, elegant shapes and luxurious finishes create the sophisticated, elegant aesthetic synonymous with mid-century Italian design.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Clay Round Table by Desalto<\/a><\/span> was designed by prominent Milan designer, Marc Krusin. Each piece is hand finished with lava from Mount Etna using only a pallet knife. The circular top of the table balances, precariously, on top of a conical base adding a feel of refined drama.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Disc Side Table<\/span><\/a> features a dark green or brown marble top, as opposed to traditional white, making it an incredibly chic option for homes looking to channel the trend.\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nThe Clay Round table is finished with lava from Mount Etna<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
