Looking for ideas on how to dress up your home this year? UAE-based Western Furniture has given some tips on how to give your home an extra edge, without having to do a full revamp or break the bank. “New year is the ideal time to de-clutter, re-prioritize, and reinvigorate your interior,” said Gayatri Dongre, Senior General Manager at Western Furniture. “With each New Year, we have seen a shift in designing patterns,” she explains. “This year, we believe there is a huge demand for furniture and home accents that are multi-functional, affordable, appealing, comfortable and sustainable.” Below, Dongre reveals the styles that will be in trend this year and a guide on how to incorporate these looks into your own home.
1. Decorate with plants
One trend that will be at the forefront of home interior design is integrating plants in your interior. They not only create a fresh, harmonious atmosphere but also add texture and life to a room. In today’s technology-driven world, we continuously seek connection to human-centric and natural elements and adding greenery to your space brings a beautiful touch of nature indoors. A mixture of small and large plants can complement the living room and bedroom and add a serene ambiance to the whole space
2. Bright and bold colour combinations
Bold colours are here to stay. The perfect way to infuse some bold and bright colours into your home design is to consider placing a statement piece or small accents – like splashes of bold colour. One of the easiest ways to incorporate this is to do it through draperies, window blinds and shades. Some of the shades that bring some excitement into the room are navy blue, hunter green, raspberry, deep red and burnt orange
3. Less is more
2019 will say hello to furnishings that are smart, multi-functional, petite yet stylish and can adapt to different spaces and needs. We are predicting a huge demand for modernized versions of multi-purpose furniture and furnishings such as Foldable beds, ottomans, etc. The key here is to think out of the box and incorporate items that are great conversation starters, practical and simplify your home and interiors.
4. Geometric patterns
Geometric patterns are becoming increasingly popular. Oversized patterns combined with bold colours add interest and contemporary flair to any interior space. Even the most minimal of rooms can boast of this pattern. A chic and easy way to incorporate this trend into your space is by adding throw pillows, rugs, cylindrical vases, mirrors, wall hangings and a lot more.
5. Dress up your floor
A sure way to set the home apart and add a sense of whimsical character is by taking advantage of the fifth wall – the floor. Area rugs available in all sorts of shapes and sizes are just the perfect thing you need to dress up your floor. To highlight a specific area on the floor, place an illuminating floor lamp which also acts as a decorative element, or add some decorative floor seating options such as floor cushions, poufs which are available in a range of patterns and colours to let the look of your floor speak for itself.
