Try these ideas to revamp your house this year

- Saumya Sharma

Simply put, our homes are a reflection of our state of minds. It’s where we eat, sleep, relax, bathe, and even work. Take a cue from these home decor trends to spruce up your home:

■ Pantone Colour: Living coral is a nurturing colour that appears in our natural surroundin­gs and at the same time, displays a lively presence within social media. ■ Green and Yellow: Both these colours that exude happiness, cheer and enthusiasm will be the focus in the home decor this year.

■ Geometric Patterns: Strong geometries with subtle or bold colours would be quite the trend. Layer them, pair them, matched or mismatched pattern on pattern is a fresh spin on a more old-world style.

■ Shibori: The Japanese technique of pleat and bind and dye is one of the most ancient dyeing techniques. Traditiona­l Japanese Shibori on cotton was mainly done with indigo. The contrast of blue and white tends to make bold statements.

■ Floral Patterns: This year will see floral patterns in a new light with exaggerate­d proportion­s and contrastin­g colours.

■ Terrazzo: With this entire Memphis Milano ‘80s craze happening, we are seeing people buying terrazzo coffee tables, side tables, and tile floors.

■ Classic Kitchen: Modern kitchen designs will be pared down to allow raw materials to shine on their own.
