10 Biggest Home Trends in 2020, According to HGTV Canada Stars

For <em><a href="https://www.hometowin.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Home to Win: For the Holidays</a></em> host Sangita Patel, her 2020 home trend prediction was a simple case of misused design terms. "One thing I've been noticing more of was what I <em>thought</em> was chevron-type flooring, but it's actually herringbone," she tells HGTV Canada. "I thought it looked both so old, yet so new and unique." <br><br> Related: <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/decorating/photos/commonly-confused-design-terms-1913769/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">9 Common Design Terms You're Misusing (Here's What They Really Mean!)</a>

Tiffany Pratt, the <em><a href="https://www.hometowin.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Home to Win: For the Holidays'</a></em> <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/diy/photos/tiffany-pratt-diy-projects-1919474/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">DIY queen</a> certainly knows a thing or two about bold designs and patterns, so it's no surprise that colour is the big 2020 trend that she's quick to point out. "There’s been a huge influx of colour," she says. "People are really developing this ‘I just inherited all my grandmothers' antiques’ [aesthetic] that is spliced in with modern furniture. What I love about the current trends are that people are working with what they’ve got. They’re investing in cool new things and really enveloping everything in their own personal style and deciding that <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/home-tours/photos/fine-finishes-eclectic-art-modern-boho-home-1923589/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">eclectic</a> is cool."

<em><a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/backyard-builds/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Backyard Builds</a></em> star <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/backyard-builds/photos/18-things-you-didnt-know-about-sarah-keenleyside-1896031/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sarah Keenleyside</a> has noticed a growing trend toward a rainbow of colours where once we embraced more monochromatic white and grey interiors. "Over the last couple of years, I've noticed the saturation of colour becoming bolder," she tells HGTV Canada. "People are not afraid of colour anymore and they're really hitting it hard in a room. You'll see more layering of the same tone in a room. So, if you have a deep navy on the wall then you might also have a brighter blue sofa."

One thing <em><a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/property-brothers/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Property Brothers</a></em> star Jonathan Scott is glad to see on the rise again is colour – bold designs like the above kitchen renovated by brother Drew and himself. "It's nice to see it coming back," he tells HGTV Canada. "Before that, it was all neutral and grey. But colour is coming back in a very bold way with interesting textures and mixed metals." <br><br> Related: <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/property-brothers-buying-and-selling/photos/beautiful-kitchen-renovations-1929770/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Envy-Worthy Kitchens That Make Us Want to Reno Our Own Immediately</a>

It looks like mid-century <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/kitchens/photos/statement-lighting-styles-kitchen-1908317/#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lighting</a> will have to make way and share the limelight with art deco in 2020. This beautiful chandelier from a <em><a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/worst-to-first/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Worst to First</a></em> <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/worst-to-first/videos/worst-to-first-best-dining-rooms-1532896323743/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">dining room</a> makeover introduces a whole lot of elegant curves and a cozy lighting that also happens to be super flattering.

Move aside, wallpaper, because <em><a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/backyard-builds/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Backyard Builds</a></em> star <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/backyard-builds/blog/20-things-you-didnt-know-about-brian-mccourt-1896011/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brian McCourt</a> thinks wall murals are the next big thing in home trends. "In [<em>Home to Win: For the Holidays</em>] you'll see we use a blown-up jumbo floral print in one of the rooms," he tells HGTV Canada. "We've come such a long way because now we have these huge printers that can create them on such a massive scale so you're not doing these tiny repeats where it feels busy and cluttered." It would seem Brian had a solid jumpstart on this trend – the whimsical bedroom above features a hand-painted wall mural designed by Brian and Tifffany Pratt from <a href="https://www.hometowin.ca/behind-the-design/gallery/tour-the-season-3-home-to-win/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">season three of <em>Home to Win</a></em>.

Gorgeous steal-worthy pantries are nothing new, but, according to the <em><a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/worst-to-first/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Worst to First</a></em> stars, they'll take centre stage in 2020 as homeowners seek to showcase their stocked cubbies and <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/cleaning-and-organization/photos/organize-kitchen-like-marie-kondo-1925853/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marie Kondo-style organizational skills</a>. <br><br> Related: <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/kitchens/photos/backsplash-tile-cabinetry-top-kitchen-trends-2020-1931289/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Backsplash, Tile, Cabinetry: The 15 Top Kitchen Trends for 2020</a>

<em><a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/save-my-reno/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Save My Reno</a></em>'s Sebastian Clovis has one home trend on his design wish list – bidets. And he's <em>totally</em> convinced us as to why we should be more open to embracing them. "There’s the cleanliness factor, but it’s also about the new wave that everybody is on right now that I am loving and supporting and that wave is the zero-waste movement," he tells HGTV Canada. "How many times a year do you have to go out and buy giant rolls of toilet paper? If bidets aren’t currently becoming a trend, I’m trying to <em>make</em> them a trend!"

Samantha Pynn of <em><a href="https://www.hometowin.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Home to Win: For the Holidays</a></em> predicts that homeowners will spend more time contemplating and embracing their personal aesthetics. "It's really all over the map," she says. "When it comes to pattern and colour, its anything goes. It's personal decorating ... whatever speaks to you. I feel we're not afraid to express that anymore." <br><br> Related: <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/home-tours/photos/vibrant-vancouver-loft-colour-pattern-style-1929797/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">This Vibrant Vancouver Loft Effortlessly Plays With Colour, Pattern and Style</a>

For 2020, <em><a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/property-brothers/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Property Brothers</a></em> star Drew Scott believes high tech gadgets will continue its upward swing as a hot home trend. "A lot of tech has sustainable options and it's much more cost-effective nowadays so the fact that I can operate everything in my house just off my phone is something blows a lot of our clients' minds," he tells HGTV Canada.
