8 Home Decorating Trends You're About to See Everywhere, According to Etsy

From tabletop items to works of art, Etsy sellers are showcasing resin's versatility. "Human use of plant resins stretches back to  ancient Greece and ancient Rome," says Isom Johnson. "Resin as a design material can be incorporated in so many different forms and colors, playing into the 2020 trend of individual expression."

No matter your style, any space can benefit from a one-of-a-kind wood accent. Consider a burl wood piece, like a bowl for your coffee table or a vase, to add a dose of style to your space. "It celebrates the natural beauty of the tree and adds warmth and individuality," says Isom Johnson.

Organic bedding, as well as fabrics made from hemp and cactus silk, are all popular on Etsy right now. "While shoppers are thinking more about the impact of their purchasing decisions, we've seen increasing searches for natural textiles like hemp and linen," says Isom Johnson. (A quick note from the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab: Organic labeling is regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture under the National Organic Program. Therefore, the actual term "certified organic" is strictly regulated and cannot be used for just any product. Educate yourself by reading more about what the term "eco-friendly" actually means.) 

Plant parents, you're going to appreciate this trend. Suspended and hanging planters are a fun way to spruce up your space and express your love of nature. "Shoppers are turning to their ceilings and walls, opting for both hanging and mounted planters, to display their beloved plant babies," says Isom Johnson.

According to Etsy, bees are hot. Whether you choose artwork, wallpaper, or drawer knob with a bee motif, your home is guaranteed to be adorable. "Etsy buying trends have shown that shoppers are much more eco-conscious as a whole, it's no surprise that the motif has worked its way into our design," says Isom Johnson. "Bees serve as a conversation starter and a playful way to integrate nature into our decor." 

A beach vacation might not be on your calendar, so seashell-shaped decorative items are the next best thing. "When considering the seashell trend, toss out the idea of full nautical themes and instead think about adding accents with the shape like throw pillows, lamps, or wall mirrors," says Isom Johnson. 

Go back in time with retro-style prints of sunsets that can add pizzazz to a living room, bedroom, or home office. "With nods to the ‘70s and mid-century design, the retro sunsets trend confirms that inspiration from past decades and nature is here to stay," says Isom Johnson.

"The 'ancient accents' trend takes cues from decor found in old-world Rome and Greece – from columns to statues to busts – and is popping up everywhere from wall art to planters," says Isom Johnson. Searches for old-world accents, which pair well with contemporary pieces, are up 47% on Etsy.
