There\u2019s nothing more uplifting than looking ahead to spring\/summer interior trends after a long, wet winter.<\/p>\n
2016\u2019s trends are full of colour and life, as befitting the season. Here are a few of my favourites:<\/p>\n
Urban Jungle<\/strong><\/p>\n This trend has evolved from both the ultra feminine botanical trend of a few years ago and the recent obsession with house plants.<\/p>\n The urban jungle trend has a restricted colour palette of greens and blues, and it features prints of exotic leaves rather than florals. Think palm leaf bed sheets, copper cactus vases and lots of real plants.<\/p>\n Pretty in Pink<\/strong><\/p>\n Move over grey, pink is the new \u2018it\u2019 neutral according to Pip McCormack<\/a>, Lifestyle Director of Red Magazine.<\/p>\n This is a soft, dusky pink. Elegant, sophisticated and subtle; it\u2019s the kind of pink that pairs beautifully with navy, grey and bronze. It\u2019s the slightly grungier cousin of Pantone\u2019s colour of the year, Rose Quartz.<\/p>\n Pegboard Storage<\/strong><\/p>\n Back when pegboard was found exclusively in suburban garages, it was hard to imagine it would one day become a design must-have. But here we are in 2016, and people are going crazy for the stuff.<\/p>\n Pegboard has come a long way since the early days \u2013 in form and<\/em> function. Rather than a place to hang greasy tools, pegboard is a bespoke storage solution for any room in the house. It\u2019s not hard to see why it has quickly become a design favourite.<\/p>\n Textile Art<\/strong><\/p>\n Embroidery, woven wall-hangings, tapestries, sculpture… textile art has taken on a life of its own in recent years. Interior designers are pairing traditional framed art with touchable, dynamic textile art for added depth and character.<\/p>\n Some of my favourite textile artists include Maryanne Moodie<\/a>, Sarah K Benning<\/a> and Liz Payne<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Image: Clair Strong Interior Design There\u2019s nothing more uplifting than looking ahead to spring\/summer interior trends after a long, wet winter. 2016\u2019s trends are full of colour and life, as befitting the season.
