Home Decor Trends 2017
Decor / Direction2017With the New Year just around the corner, it wouldn't hurt to say abreast with the new wave that's about to hit the world of home decor.Dream & Nature are themes that have been gradually brewing, soon to appear in 2017. So, let's acquaint ourselves with the two main themes for next year...DREAM: A series of pleasant thoughts that distract our attention from the present." The colours are light inspired from a growing need to escape reality.NATURE: Greenery is nature's neutral. The more submerged people are in modern life, the greater their craving to immerse themselves in the physical beauty and inherent unity of the natural world. MOOD / STORYTEXTILE / PRINTSCOSMOS INSPIRED: If bold, geometric prints are too harsh for your home, try the softer, more circular mandala print inspired by Buddhist and Hindu culture, the Mandana is a beautiful design that symbolises the entire cosmos. NATURE INSPIRED: It's time to go green, and 2017 is all about bringing the outside into the home.SEAMLESS PATTERNWith the advancement in digital printing techniques, the look of fabric and wallpaper patterns are developed to create the effect of the pattern being painted on or to appear as sharp as a photograph.MATERIAL / TEXTUREWithin the next year, you'll see more and more walls that are basically walls of cork, reclaimed wood and other utility materials. While being good for the environment, these materials are also incredibly sturdy and great for the daily use and traffic of a home with kids and pets.
