2017 interior trends to watch

Get ahead with these interior trends of next year.

As 2016 starts to draw to a close, we can look forward to welcoming in 2017 and the new trends that it brings. Interior design is more than ever a priority for people whether they rent or are homeowners as it is often used as a statement of our personality.

It is also important to ensure that your property is looking at its best whether you are planning to sell or rent it, in order to secure a quick transition at the best possible price. So we have selected a few of the 2017 interior trends that are the ones to watch.

1. Comfort.

We live in a digital age where we are constantly plugged into devices, news and communication. In 2017 there is a strong emphasis on creating a retreat at home with corners to relax and tune out. This is achieved by building comfortable nooks with cushions and throws of a luxe feel to emulate that of boutique hotel. Less is definitely not more in this case…

2. Green.

Green is making a grand entrance in 2017. The deeper the shade the better but as green is versatile and also works well with grey which will retain its status as the must have colour. Use green on a feature wall, pick a statement green sofa or accessories with this colour. Just use green!

3. Upholstered bed heads.

Some of the top hotels across the globe have cottoned onto this trend already, but the upholstered bed head is making a comeback in the home too. Select one with a luxury fabric like velvet to give your bed head that extra edge and give you even more reason for that morning lie in. Go one better and get one in green!

4. Metallics.

Special attention has been given to metals over the last few years from the shade and colour of taps and door handles. But in 2017 metallics will start marking an appearance in soft furnishings through fabrics with threads of metals woven through. This is one trend that can be as subtle or a full on as you wish.
