On Trend - Spring 2011
Quick Snapshot of the latest trends:
Colours:
Yellow moving into lime tones, black, charcoal grey & pale grey. Soft pink, orange, navy, bright red and cyan blue.
Furniture:
Upholstered and comfort are the buzz words here.
Shapes:
Shattered geometrics are seen in cabinetry and carpets.
Finishes:
Clear and transparent finishes metamorphose into lighting, furniture and more. On the other end of the scale are Scandinavian raw textures.
Decoration:
City Facades in all shapes and forms moves into the home. From Cutting boards, tea towels, crockery, wallpaper to art indoors and out. Different fonts & graphics, visual alphabets & maps still continue their presence.
My tip on Design & Decoration:
Whilst taking into account the trends if building or renovating, I usually advise clients to make lifestyle needs a priority and not to hone in on fashion and trends. Always bring in your own personality and spice it up with some humour.
