If you’re thinking of updating your home then consider these 2018 interior design trends.
As we near the end of 2017 all thoughts are turning to what 2018 will bring. For the home there are some exciting new trends that are dominated by the theme of sustainability. Whether you live in a Balinese villa or a vertical apartment in the throbbing metropolis of Jakarta, you can introduce these looks with ease.
1. Think wood.
Balinese design is known for its natural materials so this fits nicely with one of the big trends of 2018: wood. Loved on this tropical paradise for its warmth and calming qualities. For next year it is all about making wood a central focal point for your home. It needs to be in as natural state as possible or contemporary in design, such as a modern wooden bookshelf or even a rustic dining table.
2. Earthy colours.
Earthy tones dominate 2018. Think dark reds, oranges and yellows to create a cozy feel. Get the hues right rather than too bright as it will have a very different impact. For those feeling less brave opt for grays or even a terracotta. That way you can be sure you existing furniture will be in keeping too.
3. Upholstery in suede and velvet.
Alongside natural materials, there is a real emphasis on comfort. Achieve this with a suede or velvet sofa. It will create a soft feel to a room, not to mention be inviting as a place to kick back and relax.
4. Opt for non-fussy furniture.
In order to match your wood dining table, suede sofa and earthy wall colour pick matching furniture that will not draw attention away from the other features. Clean lines and with metal legs for your dining table or sofa will ensures neatness. An elegant look will be created without being too fussy.
5. Simple window dressings.
Keeping with the theme of non-fussy, window dressings should be practical. Avoid anything that will detract from your new look. Leave windows bare or opt for very simple window dressings instead. Simple curtains in a white or muted grey will ensure that they are discreet. You can finish them off with luxury leather ties or just choose minimalist wooden slatted blinds instead.
