Decor trends for a more beautiful home

The look and feel of your home is significant. Comfort is, of course, priority when setting up the house, but how about also incorporating the latest home decor trends? Here’s what you can do:

Go for the pastel-hued look: It creates an earthy-yet-classy look, and has an old-world air of hospitality. How about the ‘mixed

metals’ effect? Brass, gold and other metallic hues have always ruled the interior design space. Add white plaster to the list. Silver and polished nickel hues are also back into the fray. Play with add-ons:

Macramé, fringeing, tassels, and feathers are all a big hit this season. You can customise the space with cushions, wall hangings, throws, rugs or accessories. Gelato colours for your kid’s room: Ice cream colours are going to be a huge trend in interiors this year. Say yes to geometrics: So far, geometric play was mainly on cushions and rugs. This year, it’s big on tiles, wallpaper and art, like on the walls of a shower or as a kitchen splashback.

Ombre will be big: From fabrics to cushions, rugs and bedding, you’ll see the gradient effect everywhere. You can also use it in a watercolour style on lampshades, artwork and furniture. Natural textures never

fail to impress: Think wooden-style wall and flooring or wallpaper that resembles cane, bricks, mud, rattan or stone chips. You can also use wallpapers showcasing scenic artwork, be it a sea/ beach or a forest, or one that has figures outlined on it.
