Gone are those days when we go to showrooms to buy any
furniture we find or shop online for any lovely piece. Yes ,you have the right
to create your own style or make an impression through your own design
statements but while you do that, it is important to follow trends in interior
design. Interestingly, these trends don’t become extinct rapidly so you don’t
have to worry about you home losing taste a short while after the makeover. In
2012, we saw trends like rattan furniture, fur pillows and rugs, sectional
sofa, velvet upholsteries, chain link murals and furniture design ,plain
fabrics, leather occasional chairs, wall papers .etc.
2013 is taking us where we have been before, but a long
time ago; as well as exploring areas yet to be discovered or explored. i talked about the colour of 2013 in my last write up and just like fashion,interior design comes with predicted trends for each year. Its interesting to keep up with trends while revamping or replacing accents from time to time like i do. you could buy some knitted scatter cushions, sculpted wooden pieces or a cute little terrarium. but be aware of maintaining balance, tone and texture while doing this. Here are
some of the trends to go with in 2013:
BRASS
Brass has come to stay . gorgeous lamps, candle holders, curtain poles, door knobs are all fantastic ways to explore the use of brass.
COLOURFUL
FABRICS
This year, we are looking at more colourful patterns for
both upholstery and curtains.
BRIGHT
PAINT COLOURS
Spaces will be adorned with bright coloured paints.
ANTIQUE
FURNITURE
Vintage and retro will meet modern with furniture
designs. Rough finishes, unattractive accessories and emphasized detailing are
all features of these ages.
KNITS
Knitwear will become home accent options
AFRICAN
INPUT
African influence is making its comeback in accents both
internationally and locally. Wood carvings, sculpture , and pottery are all
coming back to rock our worlds.
We all remember the terrarium which almost went extinct.
Designers are making new modern designs of this beautiful accent piece.
