This year’s hottest interior styles

AS THE years pass, so do certain trends that once may have been the ‘in thing,’ so it is important to keep up with the latest interior décor trends to ensure your home is fresh and keeps up with the modern day style.

 

  1. Bold interior colour schemes

White and grey walls are timeless, but if you have grown tired of your neutral interior, perhaps it is time to go for a moodier scheme and go bold. A beautiful blend of navy and black will put the spotlight on décor and provide a striking contrast to whites and neutrals.

2. Warming wallpaper

Wallpaper is making a comeback and this trend is not going anywhere soon. This year it is all about traditional patterns and organic colours, so don’t be afraid to go bold! Wallpaper is the perfect way to bring interest to a space.

3. Mix and match textures

Whatever the colour palette, mixing textures can instantly create another layer of decoration and interest. The use of macramé and a simple pendant can transform a space, providing an instant touch of on-trend styling at very little expense.

4. Edgy earthy tones

You will see a lot of warm, earthy tones like terracotta, rust, tan and tangerine in interior design this year, which are perfect teamed with yellow and cream tones for extra depth and layers of tone.

You can easily introduce some earthy hues in your home with furniture (think velvety upholstered armchairs), on walls, or with accent décor pieces such as throws, cushions or beautiful textured vases or ornaments.

5. Bring the outdoors in

Indoor plants are fast becoming the must-have buy for our home. Place them in each room, use hanging plants for shelves and mantelpieces and add some green goodness to bare corners and coffee/side tables.
