2019 INTERIOR TREND PREDICTIONS
Happy New Year! We are currently lying on a beach in Barbados,
but before we escaped we threw on the turban and dusted off the
crystal ball to let you know what would be hot or not this year!
HOT! All things coral - as the colour of the year is Pantone Living
Coral! Expect to see all manner of home accessories and wallpapers
showing the beauty that is this wonderful pinky orange hue.
Wallpaper from Harlequin
NOT: Cool grey tones will be banished in 2019 in favour of warmer
more natural tones!
HOT! Patterned Splashbacks - look for etched glass and splashes of
coloured pattern.
HOT! Acrylic Furniture is set to give a clear perspective in 2019, just
remember to keep your acrylics streak free!
Acrylic Table from Kartell
NOT: Any type of copper furniture should be banished from your homes
pronto!
HOT! Comfort should always be in style - but this year indulge in extra
comfy sofas and dining chairs, plumpness is back - huzzar!!!
NOT: Tear up your terrazzo tiles, that was so 2018!
HOT! Sustainable Materials will be massive this year, a way to make
your house look well travelled and you are being kind to the planet -
win-win!
Balmoral Sofa From Heals
NOT: Mid Century Furniture, I know we all love it but give it a break or at
least mix it up a bit!
Coconut Rug from the Cotswold Co
NOT: Fibre Art is out, so just put away your macramé hanging and let
your walls breathe.
