Living Room Design Tips for Summer 2020

Living Room Design Tips for Summer 2020

You’ve been spending extra time at home in early 2020, and you’ve been looking more critically at your living room furniture in Sarasota. You’ve decided that it’s time to refresh your living space, but you’re not sure where to start. Good thing Florida Leather Gallery and our team of Leaxperts is here to help! Here we’ll cover the freshest living room design tips and trends for 2020.

Florida Living Rooms in 2020 are Airy and Open

Sarasota is blessed with warm weather, ocean breezes and plenty of sunshine. Lighten the mood in your living room and take advantage of our sub-tropical climate by:

  • Ditching heavy drapery — instead, opt for light, gauzy curtains or new vertical blinds.
  • Adding a new, broad ceiling fan.
  • Cleaning the windows (inside and out) often to take advantage of natural light.

A well-lit living room is the first step towards creating a fresh interior design. Natural sunlight will boost your spirits and make your color choices pop. That’s important this year because vibrant colors are huge in 2020!

It’s 2020 and Colors are “IN”

Amanda Lauren of Forbes Magazine wrote that colors are becoming the new neutrals in 2020. Her sources feel mature pinks and rose colors will remain hot across the country for a few more years. But here in Sarasota, we’re seeing more oranges, melons and cranberry colors this year. Blues and greens have come back in a big way too.

  • Know that blue and green tones are no longer strictly masculine!
  • From a mellow robin’s egg blue to an invigorating Southwestern turquoise, blue tones can be both peaceful and energetic.

Try Jewel Tones in Your Sarasota Living Room

Natural gems are imbued with vibrant hues. Think of emeralds, sapphires and amethysts.

They’re perfect for any Sarasota living room style in 2020. Sapphire-blue makes gorgeous walls and floor coverings. A ruby-red sectional or an emerald-green sofa, for example, will instantly transform any living room. Just as the natural beauty of a canary diamond can become hypnotic, gem hues that mimic their jewel counterparts convey a confident sophistication and luxury.

Here at Florida Leather Gallery, we realize a new color choice can be a big commitment, especially if you’re looking to tile an entire floor, or repaint the whole living room.

If you’re a little nervous about a long-term relationship with a color, you don’t need to marry it. Take it on a few dates! Try a new hue in your living room color by:

  • Buying an area rug in a color you’re considering.
  • Tossing a few over-sized throw pillows of the same color on your sofas or sectional.
  • If you’re still getting along with the color, get engaged to it! Go ahead and try an accent wall.

Just know that in 2020, accent walls are starting to look a bit dated. We wouldn’t purposely provide you with decades-old living room design tips, but if you’re considering the move from white walls into a saturated color, this is the one time we’ll encourage it.
