When it comes to the world of interior design, trends move just as quickly as they do in the world of fashion with different styles, colours and themes moving as the seasons do. Here we look at three emerging home decorating trends for spring/summer and give you some recommendations for how to achieve the look. Trend #1 – Contemporary Floral Designs Floral prints have come a long way since the chintz of the 1980s. Gone are the heavy, busy designs awash with colour and in their place are a new range of floral wallpaper designs. These feature more elegant, streamline designs which are less busy and much less garish. Colour still has a big part to play, as after all flowers are very colourful and instead of multi coloured wallpaper, the new floral designs focus on a neutral background with just one or two accent colours. Our Recommendations: Where: Use modern floral wallpaper designs throughout a room for a bold yet elegant look. What: We recommend the Arthouse Anouska Floral Wallpaper which comes in a range of colours including red which is an on-trend accent for the summer. How: Combine this wallpaper with crisp, white painted woodwork and coordinating red home furnishings to complete the look. Trend #2 –Accents of Colour It isn’t just modern floral designs that are using accent colours this season. This spring we see a significant number of multi coloured wallpaper designs that use a neutral palette dotted with accent colours to create a crisp, elegant look. Nature inspired designs are set to be seen throughout wallpaper brands with colour schemes ranging from neutral cream, grey and white backgrounds with contrasting teal, green and yellow accents. Our Recommendations: Where: Use wallpapers with accent colours to create feature walls in living spaces. Two walls is the perfect wallpapered combination for the coming season. What: We recommend the Arthouse Bernwood Trees Forest Wallpaper in Teal which features a fabulous combination of teal and green accents How: Combine this wallpaper with teal home accessories to complete the look. Trend #3 –Pops of Colour for the Kids Accents of colour also roll over into the styling of kid’s bedrooms this season. Busy, fun prints are still a key look for children’s bedrooms and the nursery and colour use is subtly different for spring/summer. Instead of the bold blue and pink colour schemes of previous styles, pops of colour in on-trend shades are the key to achieving this season’s look. Look for kid’s wallpaper designs which feature fun prints with soft green and pale blue accents for a fabulous look. Our Recommendations: Where: Use children’s wallpapers with busy prints throughout the room for an on-trend look. What: We recommend the Arthouse Motormania Wallpaper in Teal which features a fun traffic inspired print and pops of teal and blue. How: Keep home furnishings and bedding simple when using busy wallpapers. A coordinating coloured rug is all your need to tie the look together.
