Tips to introduce these palettes into your home.
Create a statement in your home with paint.
-
Highlighting the architecture of your homes such as bulkheads and alcoves by introducing different colours and tones.

Paint your front door to create an inviting entrance to your home for guests.
-
Create a unique design to enhance a 'lack lustre' space within your home utilising colour, stripes and patterns.
Wallpaper is back!
Wallpaper is another fantastic way to make a statement in your home. The wallpaper market is ever-growing and there are some absolutely stunning papers and murals available these days. Some different ways wallpaper can enhance your interior:
- Add a decorative flair to an open bookcase with a wallpaper backdrop. Cover the backs of the shelves with a beautiful pattern that compliments your room.
- Don't forget the ceiling! The ceiling is often overlooked for its styling potential, but the fifth wall as some call it provides a great opportunity to have some fun with wallpaper and create a unique look for your home.
Don’t want to paint? Decor is your best friend.
If painting or wallpapering your walls seems like too much time and effort,(or maybe your a renter and still want to keep up with the trend) then simply swapping out some of the smaller items within the room can be a great alternative.
The introduction of items such as:
- Cushions & throws
- Artwork
- Vases & candles
- Floral arrangements
- Floor rugs
These simple changes can drastically change the impact of a room with little effort and without breaking the bank and can be easily changed seasonally and are a fantastic way to keep your home feeling fresh and on-trend.
Don’t forget the windows!
Window coverings are such a big design feature for your home and can change the entire look of a room. This is great for when you are wanting to update your interior without changing everything. They are also a great way to embrace colours, patterns and textures when creating a cohesive space.
Whether you want your curtains to be the stand-out feature of the room or just a complimentary background, here are a couple of ways to use the new colour trends when thinking about window coverings:
- Pick a colour from your room that you love and follow that theme with a toned-down version that compliments that colour.
- Introduce a material with a pattern that will make a statement whilst also tying in with its surroundings. Soft florals, leaves or stripes are classics.
- Choose a neutral colour that will stand the test of time. We all know trends can evolve so if you stick with a neutral it can be easily adapted to suit any new style.
