7 Interior Trends to Try

Are you ready to splurge on your interior decor of your home?  With the new year behind us, this year is predicted to be the year of many eccentric and cutting-edge interior trends. We are expected to see unusual textures and striking color combinations take place in homes. 

This is an exciting year for interior design to push the boundaries and unleash creativity. Need some inspiration? Read on to discover the stunning, new custom home features to try this year which will surely transform your drab residence into an elegant dwelling. 

Jewel Tones 

Say goodbye to your dull neutral color palette. The new trend for furniture is dark, rich tones. Striking jewel colors such as emerald green, turquoise and ruby red are sure to shake things up in your home. These energizing colors liven up traditional spaces and work well with dark timber to create a bold and decadent look. 

For an instant pop of color without the commitment, try including some deep, amethyst colored cushions. Not only will they look great, but they can add a touch of glamor to your living space similar to that of luxury homes. As a general rule, it is best to be careful when mixing stark white with dark jewel tones as this look can be too contrasting.

Marble Features

It’s debatable. For some, the mass production of marble homewares has made it too common a feature in the majority of custom homes. This rise is predicted to slow down and eventually come to an end in the world of interior design.

Not all hope is lost for marble enthusiasts. Small marble accents can still look great in luxury homes. To avoid looking like you just plonked down some marble for the sake of it, why not try incorporating a number of small, statement pieces in key areas of your home. A nice marble vase is a small and easy addition to your decor comparable to a marble bench top, which can sit heavy in the space.

Terracotta Comeback

Move over marble, say hello to terracotta. Give your home an immediate warm, rustic feel with the use of terracotta tiles. Don’t think back to the 80s though, terracotta will have a modern, revolutionised look in new homes, which will add depth and character to your rooms. With an ever-popular natural matte finish, terracotta is an excellent option for feature walls.

Return To Nature 

Earthy hues and textures are on the verge of exploding on the interior scene right now. The clean-cut, minimalist look is being tossed aside for a rustic and down to earth feel. 

With that in mind, it’s time to welcome back your old friend, cork. Cork is a major trend circulating designer homes, with cork stools and tables bringing back a natural luxury. Cork walls are especially popular because they reduce noise in rooms and can soften harsh lines. Now is a great time to "uncork" your creativity, wouldn’t you say? 

Indoor Plants

Along with the rustic interior themes emerging, indoor plant life has also risen to new peaks. Indoor plants bring life into each living space. Popular plant species include fiddle leafs, palm trees and ferns. Make sure you research your plants before making a purchase. This will ensure that you have the proper care instructions, environment and confirmation that they are not toxic to any pets or children.

Matte Finishes 

Matte finishes are becoming increasingly favored for a sleek and bold look. Objects with a matte finish can add depth to your composition. The overall feel of matte finishes immediately imbues luxury and elegance. Matte appliances for the kitchen are accessible because they give a bold but not overbearing aesthetic.

Color Blocking 

Mismatched furniture is a great way to create a quirky, modern look for your living zones. Bold colors such as electric blue, mustard, and berry red go well together and deviate from the traditional look that many established homes have.

Mismatched cabinets and tables are an emerging trend that has been making a statement in many designer homes around the world. This can be a great opportunity to direct eyes to new features that you really would like to stand out.

A new year is certainly a good opportunity to create your dream home. Your home is something you see every day; a place where you can invite friends and family over to and take pride in. Why shouldn’t it be your dream house? If there was ever a time to let your creativity run free, it’s now.
