New design trends for 2019

Wallcoveri­ngs and fabrics with a natural element are gaining in popularity – materials such as bark, abaca and salago fibre, for example – thanks to an increased global desire to be more in touch with nature. Colourful interiors are a major ongoing trend; popular colours include jewel tones of emerald greens, ruby reds and sapphire blues. Warm shades are also making a comeback. This year is all about prints, too, such as abstracts, florals and geometric motifs. Designers are having fun playing with and combining these patterns in their schemes.

Classic trends that are here to stay

Florals and geometrics are a perennial classic. A little goes a long way!

Adding interest to an interior

Soft furnishing­s are an instant and easy way to add interest. Cushions, throws, headboards, runners… the possibilit­ies are endless! Have fun injecting your space with pops of colour, textural interest and pattern.
