Well according to some of the biggest names in homes design
this year we will see changes once more to how we furnish and style our homes.
Kitchens
It’s all about the black stainless steel and cabinets that
don’t match. Now for some people cabinets that don’t match will be a step too
far. Imagine having a mixture of cupboard doors. Will this really be something
that catches on? For many of us that like the clean matching look we are not
sure just how popular this will become. It’s enough that we are saying goodbye
to polished chrome in favour of black stainless steel. Another kitchen trend
tipped to be big this year is unfinished, unvarnished
plywood. Yep the kitchen drawers and doors made of plywood. It would certainly
save a lot of money but not sure it would impress the guests?
Bathrooms
How bathrooms have changed over the years. We have gone from
green and beige with flower power shower curtains to all white matching suites
and tiles and now it seems we are mixing it up in the bathroom with stylish
contemporary taps, rainfall showers and square basins/toilets. The bathroom has
never looked so good and what better way to top it off than a statement mirror?
A beautiful LED mirror can make a huge difference to not only the light
available but also how the bathroom looks overall. Tiles are also bigger! Gone
are the small tiles that took forever to apply. Now they are big and can be
used portrait or landscape to tile the entire bathroom. Great for keeping the
bathroom clean but what about when you fancy a change?
Décor
Hold on to your hats apparently we are about to liven up our
living rooms with jungle prints and bold statement colours with over the top
70’s inspired accessories. The good news, if you aren’t a fan of bold and
brash, is that we should be keeping it neutral in the kitchen.
Let’s be honest though we aren't all trend followers and
whilst we may see these examples in glossy magazines and at exhibitions are we
going to take them into our hearts and our homes?
