We take a look at the interior trends we’re letting go of and what’s coming in place of them.
What’s Out:
- Exposed lighting
Industrial style globes with filament showing are hiding under cleverly designed powder coated shades
- Granite countertops
The subtle swirls of marble and the pastel tones of terrazzo have taken over
- Bamboo flooring
Hardwearing, artisan parquetry is taking its place
- Reclaimed wood
Rather than heavy and rustic, lighter less textured timbers are making a splash
- Bohemian tapestries
The layered look and many textures of Boho have moved over for stronger colours and global patterns
- DIY organizing products and projects
With smaller houses and our ever-growing cities, keeping a clutter free home is key
What’s In:
- Pattern on pattern
Whether its monochrome or Mediterranean, large areas of pattern is a key look going into 2018
- Wallpaper
The wallpaper trend continues to wow us with a pattern to please even the most hesitant convert
- High gloss lacquer on walls
Colour is back and we’re not afraid to use it! A gloss finish is just one of the many textures we’re seeing a return of on our walls
- Minimalism
With colour and pattern directing our interior styling, accessories and artworks are being kept to a minimum and smooth surfaces carry the eye around a room
- Instagram-ready décor
Whether art imitates life or vice versa, the Instagram community is styling it up to snap and share
- Strong accent rugs
Making an impact in an otherwise minimal interior, a statement rug packs a colourful punch.
