Revival of the artisans
When it comes to decorating history, there are no limits. It’s artful, quirky and bursting with ideas. This year will see a revival of the artisans. It speaks to your unique style with a rustic touch. Go for it.
Bring in metallics
Believe it or not, metallics can act as neutrals to balance out the look in your room. Just a touch of glimmering metal can add a distinctive charm to your space instantly. When incorporating a lot of metallic pieces, keep the colour scheme fairly subdued. The metallic piece in the room should be enough to exact the right amount of oomph and do the trick.
Shape up with geometrics
We bet you’ll be falling in love with triangles, hexagons and squares in 2017 when you see them as patterns for pillows, blankets and as form shapes in home decor. This style fits for people who prefer mid-century, modern or quirky designs. It adds texture and visual interest. They are a great option to go with for the people who like to mix it up and add a bit of fun to their homes.
Bold colours
Colour! Colour! Colour! Those boring greys are on their way out this year and bold colours are in. They create a great visual impact and make a very daring statement. Make your home more stylish, vibrant and gorgeous with audacious colours in the coming year.
Crazy prints
Home is where the heart is and it’s where you show off your unique style and individuality. Don’t settle for ordinary; include crazy prints as it is the style statement. Quirk up your home as the smallest details can make a lot of difference.
Functional over decorative
This year has functional products rather than decorative in store for you. There are times when you end up selecting a beautiful product over a practical one. But we suggest you to choose products that you can use and to take into the next year.
The main idea behind putting functionality above all is placing product quality firmly. – IANS
