I like to take seasonal trends with a pinch of salt. Fashion is fleeting after all and it can be hard to keep up; once you\u2019ve adopted one style, another has taken its place. The same goes for home interior design.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no need to redecorate your home every six months to stay in style. You can take inspiration from the latest trends and find ways to make them work permanently. I love mixing new trends with existing classics. For example, reupholstering an old wingback armchair or upcycling furniture can be a budget-friendly way to try out new styles.<\/p>\n
Current Colour Trends<\/strong> Experiments with clashing: bright colours and no rules, this trend is a free for all. This look sees tropical Tutti Frutti colours blend with pastel hues for a \u2018more is more\u2019 effect. It\u2019s an uplifting, fun and playful way to decorate your home. Interior design should be a personal reflection of you, so this trend is ideal for outgoing creatives and colour lovers.<\/p>\n Navy blue: gorgeous, rich indigo is making waves at the moment. This is a brilliantly classic colour which gives it the permanency so many of us crave. In home interior design, navy works as an accent and a statement. Splash the colour all over the walls, or choose a few indigo accessories to complement your current scheme. Neon was big last year but its popularity is already waning, I can\u2019t see the same happening to trusty navy.<\/p>\n Tartan: Perfect for autumn and winter, tartan is a warm and rustic textile. It\u2019s available in a number of colour-ways but I personally love the traditional red and green or neutral black and white. A splash of tartan looks incredible in any home whether an ultra modern loft or country cottage. Although it is making something of a comeback this year, tartan never really goes out of style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Image copyright Clair Strong Interior Design I like to take seasonal trends with a pinch of salt.
