Bring the outside in…
No doubt influenced by Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2017, ‘Greenery’, we’re all going to be green with envy at the latest trend for this spring. We’re seeing greenery in exotic patterns, forest prints, seagrass, and more. With tones ranging from acid green through to emerald and deep fern, your choices are limitless. Climbing plants and vines will add to the overall feel of your room, whether you’re going for a taste of the tropics or a genteel English garden feel, they’re a great addition to any space.
The style pendulum has yet to swing away from the glamour of the roaring twenties, and we’re still loving the design accents from that era. If you have yet to embrace Art Deco, it’s not too late – from mirrored surfaces to metallic inlays, more is indeed more this season. Incorporate a touch of luxury with highly polished wood, marble, copper, faux fur and elaborate glassware. But fear not, if your budget is more ‘downtown’ than ‘Downton Abbey’, this look is still eminently achievable – why not go for a marble-effect wallpaper, treat your room to some statement copper accessories or a mirror-edged frame?
