Interior Design Trends 2014



Interior Design Trends 2014                                                           



Just as the new year is upon us and our thoughts are of the long distant warm weather months, there is something that all of us can do to lighten our moods and boy do we need it. By simply incorporating key design trends for 2014 not only will these banish the winter blues but keep you’re home looking fresh and bang on trend. Here are a my favourite top 5 trends.


1.BLUE- but not feeling blue?!?
You may be thinking this is not ideal given the month were in but by using rich, saturated colours like navy and indigo to bright vibrant shades like peacock blue and cobalt (biggest colour for 2014), blue will be the supreme colour all year round.

2. Metallics

All that glitters is now gold, whereby the fever has indeed captured the minds of designers. They can be seen on all aspects in  this years interiors furniture, soft furnishings and accessories. One particular look for those who are still in between the silver and gold effect is Cole & Son new range of The Historic Royal Palaces Collection. With an antique gold effect and set of with a beautiful gold mirror.

3. Interior Tech




Apple devices reign in most households, so the new U-Socket wall plug has two built-in USB ports to power devices including iPhones, gaming devices, digital cameras, Kindles and iPads. The U-Socket also has a smart sensor that allows it to shut off when the device is fully charged — an environmentally friendly feature that prevents “vampire drain."

4. Prints


Prints are continuing to reclaim their rightful place in their home but are now are bigger and more graphic. The Ikat print is also on trend. Elle Decor and  House Beautiful have been fans for a few years now. So much so that the former have devoted a montage for their front page in 2010 and the trend is now stronger than ever.

5. Animals



The past few years have seen a popularity in animal prints adorning fashion and decor. Cheetah prints have been very popular along with beautiful zebra, giraffe and cows. This year's decor trend has brought the focus to the entire animal and not just its patterned coat.
