Embrace those colours from nature
After spending so long being in the garden or walking in the great outdoors over the last two years, it’s no wonder natural colours are making a strong come back into our homes. Gone are the bright and overbearing detail favouring subtle blends of blues, greys and greens that instantly make us feel more peaceful when we walk back through the door of your home to be greeted by modern furnishings.
Minimalist furniture that doesn’t clutter
A cluttered home is definitely a thing of the past, with names like Marie Kondo popping up in many households. Homeowners are letting go of those objects that no longer ‘bring joy’ in a bid to have a tastefully decorated home that is not hidden under the debris we have collected over the years. Opting for one or two pieces of furniture in your living room or bedroom will undoubtedly help you make the most of the space you have available – just don’t do away with all the seating!
Modern kitchen appliances
With many of us now returning to the office after the pandemic, gone are the days when we could have a leisurely lunch or take time over cooking that all-important dinner. We need modern kitchen appliances that are going to work in our favour and cut down the time we spend agonising over what to cook for dinner. Get some modern furnishings and devices in the kitchen that makes your life easier!
Let the natural light in
There are so many benefits to embracing the natural light outside our homes. Increased vitamin D, fresh air and a boost in serotonin are just some of the things we can expect from the sun and natural light. Gone are the heavy drapes and blinds, so we can truly experience the benefits natural light has to bring. You may even find that your home appears larger once you enhance the outside light.
Made to measure blinds
We still have to find a way of covering our windows at night, and with the curtains in the rubbish, many savvy people are turning to made to measure blinds. Off the shelf, products are likely to be a challenge, particularly for those with uniquely shaped windows. Choosing to have bespoke blinds fitted will bring a finish to your home like no other.
Vintage is making a comeback
Growing again in popularity is a nod to our roots with vintage furniture. We don’t mean the third-hand furniture that is falling apart and is not likely to be comfortable. Instead, budding designers are opting for statement pieces that include spindles or spooled legs. We recommend using vintage furniture with caution, however, to avoid your home becoming a thing of the past!
Delve into a style design
From biophilic interiors to Hygge styles and Wabi-Sabi movements, we are all looking for a design trend to base our homes upon. However, one thing these design styles all have in common is simplicity. Not overcrowding your space with unnecessary things. Opt for a comforting and inviting atmosphere and embrace nature. If you are looking for a design trend you can get your teeth into, we recommend taking a look at the three styles mentioned above.
