Interior design has never been so energised and vibrant! Decorating in the 2020’s is all about making YOUR heart sing, creating your ideal living space, making it bright and being bold with the colours you love.
It depends on who you ask as to what the colours for 2023 are. Leading paint brand Dulux announced its colour of the year as a warm, golden shade of barley called Wild Wonder, while the team over at eco-kind Earthborn Paints have declared Lady Bug, a rich jewel tone-toned burgundy, as their hot shade of the year. Benjamin Moore’s offering, Raspberry Blush, is a vibrant shade of coral and Etsy’s duo of Indigo and Honeycomb is a timeless combination. Our preference and advice? Make it your own. Your home should be a space YOU cherish and the colours you select shouldn’t follow a trend but reflect your personal tastes.
Are you ready for a refresh?
Are you wanting to make your space a little more you?
A bit brighter?
A bit bolder?
Then these home decor trends offer all the inspiration you need to get started! Energise your space with bold pops of colour, oh-so touchable textiles or a mirror as fetching as your reflection. Bright colours aren’t just for summer. Using bold colours will always make your home feel lighter and sunnier, even in the cooler months. Just because summer ends doesn’t mean the fun has to! From tropical prints to bold colours, these interior styles are so cheerful and light you’ll be reaching for your shades!
CAN WE SKIP TO THE GOOD BIT?
Coloured focal points are a style that makes you smile and puts the ‘fun’ into ‘functional’! From mustard sofas to lime green sideboards, a bright-coloured piece of statement furniture can be the ultimate focal point of a room.
Coloured stoves such as this beauty from Arada are not only fresh but a funky addition to your home decor too! Made with skill, care and a boisterous sense of fun, Arada Stoves have an extra special personality all of their own! Animated flames, bold colours and distinctive design set them apart from traditional designs and make them a true focal point of any living space.
CUT SOME SHAPES
Shoulder pads at the ready! Abstract shapes reminiscent of patterns and textiles from the 80s and 90s are back! From splendid squiggles to really cool curves and bright colours, we’re loving the artistic touch abstract pieces add to any space. Curved furnishings such as sofas and shaped rugs adorned with printed cushions can help bring in these elements. Materials such as marble and walnut work well too as they mirror the swirling patterns and shapes of the era.
TV TV ON THE WALL…
Is this the fairest idea of them all? Media walls are a great way to freshen up a room without having to decorate the entire space. When painted in a contrasting colour to your room a media wall becomes a revitalising focal point. Long electric fires look brilliant in media walls, it’s a fact! With a guaranteed wow factor and with a range of effects available, they can also add a whole host of additional and changeable colours!
ROLL IT OUT
Wallpaper can add a rare depth of colour and texture to an interior. When paired with a striking mantelpiece, you can transform the look of your fire and living space in just a few rolls. Try using it in alcoves and small spaces for a dramatic, yet simple, refresh. Select mood boosting-hues and these areas will be a pop of delight.
