Interior Trends You’ll Be Loving in 2017
I know, I know, we’re not even half way through 2016 but if you want to be on trend for next year you need to start thinking about the colours, styles and textures which are predicted to be big. Interior design is evolving and adapting to global demands all the time and 2017 already looks like it’s going to be exciting with fantastic earthy tones, historical references and natural materials coming out on top, which I can really get behind!
The colours
Although 2016 is bursting at the seams with exotic influences from South America and the orient seeing the use of psychedelic combinations, 2017 sees altogether more natural tones playing a key role. Add touches of earthy colours in your furnishings in combination with neutral walls to give living space a sense of depth while bringing the outdoors inside. Add some sophistication with a key piece in dark green (I love the Rodolfo Dordoni Denny Armchair from the Minotti collection on Mohd) to create an eye catching feature in any earthy-toned room. If you think that this might create a cold space try adding accessories and decorative items such as carpets, vases and throw pillows in golden colours for a hit of warmth.
The style
Although I really love the clean simplicity of Scandinavian style, I have to admit I have a soft spot for old time original features and a bit of rough and ready industrial chic. 2017 sees a revival for all features with historical value or features which represent classic years. An exposed brick feature wall in the living room? How about a wall covered in cork in the study where you can pin notes or hang decorative items (you really can hang anything!)? Try some delicious decorative terracotta pots in the kitchen. Mix and match antiques and modern pieces for a dynamic style which really catches the eye.
The texture
Rattan, monochrome, up-cycling with the use of natural materials and tones are all big this year. 2017 sees this love of natural materials continue with cork, wood, fur and paper being on trend with their warm textures bringing some excitement to flat spaces. Pair them with industrial elements for a great collision of styles and really create a talking piece for your guests. Try embellishing a room with black steel, burnished metals and concrete.
