Interior Design Trends 2017: Love Your Home Again
It’s a new year and a new you. January signals a time for change, and there’s no reason this feeling can’t extend to your home. If you’re growing tired of your old decor, now is the perfect time to breathe new life into your home with a design overhaul. If you don’t have the budget for complete revamp, simply treating your home to a few new touches could be all you need to get excited about your interiors once more.
Not sure where to begin? Read on to see our exploration of the top interior design trends of 2017 to help you love your home again.
Jewels and gems
The rich, opulent colours of jewels and gems are predicted to make an appearance in many homes in 2017. Deep blues, reds and purples can create a romantic, old-time feel that is both luxurious and unique. One colour that is becoming especially popular is green; vibrant shades can put a bold stamp on a room, whilst gentle pastel colours can create a calming and tranquil effect perfect for bathrooms or bedrooms.
Dark and dramatic
Intense, stormy colours may not seem like an obvious choice for a domestic home, but their strength lies in the sense of luxury and drama they can create. When combined with velvet textures, a palette of dark greens, purples, blues, and even blacks, can transform your interiors into bold and elegant spaces.
Go back to nature
The ‘eco’ look has long been a firm favourite in the design world and shows no signs of decreasing in popularity. As the world becomes more urbanised, homeowners are more eager to connect with the outdoors by incorporating natural elements in their home. Woven curtains and blinds, along with bamboo, cork and wooden touches can bring a warm, woody feel to a space. Palettes are becoming more in touch with the earth too, with pale greens and lavenders being favoured, and botanical prints finding their way into blinds and furnishings. If a straightforward earthy look is not for you, it can be combined with edgier elements such as metallic highlights to create a room to remember.
Nooks and crannies
In the hustle and bustle of modern life, sometimes we want a cosy space to switch off. Tucked away from the rest of the room, nooks and crannies are set to become a popular addition in many homes. These mini-havens will allow homeowners to retreat into their own space to indulge in some downtime, whether that be reading, arts, crafts or meditation.
Cheery yellow highlights
To bring some sunshine to your decor, dashes of bright yellow can cheer a room up with minimal effort. Just a few statement pieces around your home is not enough to be overbearing, but yet can still go a long way in brightening up a space.
Personalise your window treatments
Window treatments such as blinds, shutters and curtains not only offer light control and insulation, but they are also useful tools to help create the atmosphere you’re aiming for. There is huge flexibility available when using window dressings, with an assortment of materials, styles, patterns and textures available to complement any home. You can even get creative and add personal touches to your blinds by sewing on some tassels, buttons or shells.
