What a better way to start 2014 than updating the look of your home. We have carefully chosen 5 of the most prominent trends for you to try.
Rich fabrics
Leave behind simple cottons and linens and embrace the luxurious velvet, earthy suede and even textured corduroy. These fabrics are sophisticated yet durable, and can hold up to the darker color schemes popular for 2014.
Matching is the past
Be brave and try out new combinations. In 2014 take different shapes and colours and mix them. You’ll be surprised how frenetic and harmonic the result can be.
Meaningful accessories
Forget the purposeless and commerce accessories and choose objects, photos, artworks that are linked to you and have personal significance.
Light-toned wood
For many years, dark tones like mahogany and cherry dominated the wood furniture market. This year caramel and honey tones will take the spotlight. The softer look blends with any design style and keeps furnishings from feeling heavy or fussy.
Sculptural artwork
Break up with your old wall decorating habits and use sculptural pieces that add dimensionality to your walls. A range of materials and textures like felt, horn, ceramic and even macramé create unique focal points and conversation topics.
