There are several interior trends to look into this spring

LUXE VELVET AND WARM COLOURS ARE ON-TREND RIGHT NOW

Heading into spring, here are some of the latest interior trends for this year. While some looks are a continuation of past ones, other fashionable trends are fresh.

HALLWAYS

The marble highlight finishes continue, but not the cheap faux marble — invest in the real thing.

FLOORING

For 2018 and beyond, it's all about the gorgeous, colourful and deep plushness of Moroccan rugs.

Go for a mixture of colours that work for your space or choose natural cream with grey/ black patterns.

THE KITCHEN

Matte black and slate grey — the upside of this style is it is easier to keep it looking clean, plus the darker colours hide a multitude of sins, including rust and other signs of wear and tear.

FORMAL DINING SPACES/SEAMLESS ENTERTAINING SPACES

Depending on lifestyle, climate and status, it's hello to separate dining rooms, a space where family and friends can gather in a dedicated space.

THE LOUNGE/LIVING ROOM

The European interior shows all featured lashings of floral prints and lush velvets in contemporary bold colours, as well as pretty pastels.

BATHROOMS

Again, dark colours are abundant, as well as coloured metallic tiling that can add a hint of glamour.

But the biggest change in the bathroom is gorgeous gold tap-ware and accessories.

Silver is devoid of glamour compared to the latest gold finishes.

BEDROOMS

Modern bohemian bedrooms feature layers of ethnic textiles, including velvet (there seems no end to the love of velvet), plus upholstered bedheads and the soft underfoot glamour of a Moroccan rug.
