Introducing four key trends you should look out for in 2019. Putting some of these elements into your home helps you to liven up your space. Here are some of the most eye-catching trends for you.
Key trend #1: Terrazzo
Terrazzo is back! Originally it was used as a versatile flooring material originating from Italy. Terrazzo is made of unused cut offs of small odd-sized pieces of marble, glass and granite mixed into concrete. Venetian workers started using terrazzo as flooring material in the fifteenth century. Last century terrazzo was used from the 1920’s to the 1940’s and had a revival in the 1970’s. Today’s applications for terrazzo are far more versatile. You can buy terrazzo look tiles, benchtops and splashbacks. A new key trend for 2019 is terrazzo-look wallpaper. Also, watch out for plant pots, vases, side tables and clocks. “Terrazzo adds some spice to a neutral coloured space.”
Key trend #2: A come back for Art Deco
Another key trend is Art Deco which evolved as an interior
style during the early 20th century and reached its peak in the 1930’s. The
style originated from the Parisian exhibition “Exposition Internationale
des Arts Decoratifs et Industrial Modernes” in 1925.
Furthermore, the style was influenced by other styles such as Art Nouveau, Bauhaus,
Cubism just to name a few.
Art Deco is a very distinctive, elegant style. Its main characteristics are
geometric patterns, gold, brass, glass, black lacqueur.
“Pull Art Deco into the 21st century!”
This is how you do it. Combine the two key trends Terrazzo and Art Deco to
create a unique style for your home.
Key trend #3: Wallpaper
I love wallpaper! Your decorating possibilities are endless
with its diversity in prints, patterns and texture. Usually people scrunch up
their face when I tell them about wallpaper. The reason for that is that people
associate wallpaper with small floral pattern which was maybe used in the
1970’s.
I’m talking about the NEW wallpaper look. Don’t miss out on the trend of large
scale botanical patterned wallpaper. The choices today are endless. It
certainly creates a statement in your living room or bedroom. An absolute
feature you won’t get enough from.
Have I mentioned I absolutely love the new fabric and wallpaper range “Typoflora” by materialised….?
Key trend #4: Greenery
The fourth key trend is still going strong. When Pantone
released its Colour of the year 2017 “greenery”, plants made a huge
come back in interior design. A quick explanation for the ones who don’t know
what Pantone is. Pantone sets annual colour trends in fashion and interior
design, based on their research.
I was a little shocked, hearing “green” is in trend again. I had to
think about the green tiled bathroom in my grandma’s home.
Now, I’m totally in love with green. Since then I’ve decorated my own home with
lots of greenery. This makes my space feel warm and homely. If you don’t have a
green thumb, then choose plants with easy maintenance properties. My choice is
succulents, monstera plant and chain of hearts.
