Great Ideas for Your New Interior
- Antique Tiles – reclaimed or reproduction tiles are particularly popular, with vintage-inspired patterns and colours forming a highly decorative approach in kitchens and bathrooms.
- Blue Tones – the reassuring colour of the sea promotes calm, and aqua is set to be one of the hottest colours for next year; use it in furniture or smaller accessories for a cooling flash of brilliance.
- Conversational Seating – interior designers are encouraging us to come together with seating arrangements that promote the idea of sitting closer, allowing us to sit and talk.
- Hiding Your Home Office – with the continued rise in working from home, workstations are being designed to fold away and are disguised as writing bureaus and drinks cabinets.
- Luxury Outside Lights – with summer coming, we all want to spend more time in our gardens; high-end lamps in anodised metal or stylish polished brass and LED tech will be adorning the patio areas and gardens next year.
- Cork Floor Panels – this material has great thermal properties and is now a viable alternative to underfloor heating; this trend is eco-friendly and available in different coloured tones.
- Wavy Wood – Straight-edged wooden furniture is out in favour of pieces with fluid and curvy forms; chairs and tables in polished, stylish wood can look great in the right setting.
- Pure White Lamps – this new trend is about doing away with colour and emphasising shape and form; instead, invest in cool futuristic lamp designs.
- Concrete with Colour – fast becoming the interior designer’s favourite material, coloured concrete is a great way to stamp your style in a kitchen or bathroom.
- Wicker Furniture – believe it or not, the art of weaving rattan is making a comeback, with sustainable wickerwork furniture becoming very popular in stores and furniture suppliers.
If you are planning to re-decorate your existing home or move into a new property, you can use any number of interior design trends to create the perfect environment where you will be happy for many years. Get cracking today.
