With 2020 just around the corner, woodfinishing trends for the coming year are no doubt on the minds of many furniture, shopfitting & marine manufacturers.<\/p>\n
This year has seen the rise in popularity of several trends, including the \u2018bare\u2019 wood and metallic effect – but will this continue into 2020 or can we expect to see new trends take the lead? Here are 5 woodfinishing trends we\u2019ll be watching out for in 2020:<\/p>\n
1. The \u2018reclaimed\u2019 look<\/strong><\/p>\n The more natural wood look has been extremely popular in recent years in every area of design – from kitchens in the home, to high street restaurant chains – and we only expect this to grow in 2020, as consumers continue to become even more environmentally conscious.<\/p>\n Thanks to the huge influence of Scandianvia\u2019s \u2018Hygge\u2019 concept, manufacturers have adopted this concept when it comes to furniture also; offering consumers very minimalist, lightly-coloured finishes, inspired by nature.<\/p>\n With Hesse\u2019s INVIPRO-OIL, manufacturers can achieve the natural, untreated look on wood surfaces in seconds; while also offering full surface protection.<\/p>\n 2. Grey<\/strong><\/p>\n Due to a move towards a more industrial look, grey wood finishes have also<\/p>\n seen a spike in popularity. From smooth, seamless lines, to edgy, concrete finishes \u2013 the trend has been particularly noticeable in the kitchen manufacturing industry. With Hesse\u2019s effect lacquer range, manufacturers have a multitude of possibilities for achieving the desired grey finish on wood surfaces.<\/p>\n 3. Darker woods<\/strong><\/p>\n While the focus in recent years has been on creating light, airy spaces, we\u2019re also starting to see darker wood finishes make a return. From deep red mahoganies, to an antique cherry wood, Hesse offer manufacturers a variety of darker finishes to stay on trend.<\/p>\n
