There are a lot of great things to look forward to in 2016 when it comes to the latest trends in interior design and decorating. From the best textile materials, fitted kitchens, wall colors and furniture, 2016 offers an exciting year for both home owners and interior designers.
Design Like shares that next year will focus on the contemporary, avant-garde and the minimalist design for homes and living areas. These trends are geared in making your home a desirable place to stay decorated with your personal style.
Contrasts in texture are one of the things to look forward to in 2016. Homes will become more cosy and comfortable with depths of texture combine with sophisticated designs coming from materials like faux fur, suede and brushed velvet. The combination will create relaxing silhouettes that will provide the much needed warmth as we all enter the New Year.
Color and drama will also be found everywhere, most especially in several magazine spreads with the return of dramatic colors for homes. Ceramic black splashes, bold and statement color combinations will bring a different kind of color to homes as well.
Eco-friendly and inspired décor will also dominate the year 2016 according to Behr. The need for environmental stimulation in homes will engage home owners to sound, smell, touch and sight coming from the outdoors as they become an important decorative piece indoors.
Traditional décor will still remain as a favorite among homes but will lean into more brightly colored pieces or pieces touched with metallic accents to keep it updated and stylish. Pleats and flower designed items will also be a must for this year's interior design.
Dramatic colors, metallic touches and texture will be the most evident changes to be explored and applied inside your homes as the interior design industry enters 2016.
