Night sky minerals
Galaxy inspired finishes are starting to become favourite styles in households. Dark blue base with vein patterned streaks of white or pale blue streaks, this design is considered by many to be relaxing and chill. Usually used in floors and in marble furniture like tables, countertops, and accents on walls, a darker theme in the home also helps cool the temperature down.
Arches
Arches are slowly coming to style as it adds character to a space. Gentle curves softened the sharp edges of kitchen counters making it safer to go around especially for households with kids. Arches can also add dimension to otherwise smaller spaces.
Coloured concrete
Coloured concrete injects personality into an otherwise common space as it serves as an accessory of sorts. Bathroom floorings now feel less sterile and warmer with the addition of colored tiles or walls. Kitchens feel homier because the cabinets and sink have character thanks to the accented backsplash on the walls. The living room feels more vibrant and relaxing as lighting reflected from colored concrete adds more personality to the space. Even the bedroom mirrors more character of its occupant because of colored concrete.
Cork flooring
Homeowners are becoming more and more conscious about their impact to nature so cork floorings are also making a comeback this year. Gone are the days when it’s considered tacky. Cork floors are also sustainably sourced and are natural heat insulators. It’s way more affordable than underfloor heating. Ideally, cork flooring is used in the living room where most of the members of the household spend their time together.
Travel inspired motifs
Our capabilities to travel the world are hampered because of the pandemic so people are bringing the world to their homes. From the mountains of the Andes to the beaches of Acapulco; from the street markets of Taiwan to the wonderful bustling city feels of New York; Arabian-inspired furniture, Chinese accent pieces, and maybe even Hawaiian themed mattresses and pillows; entering people’s homes have in itself become its own adventure. Movables are also a nice addition to the home.
Wall or ceiling murals can also help add mood to a space as it gives you a sense of adventure and fantasy. It can be a serene picture of a forest or the night sky on your ceiling. It can be a mural of the ocean underneath the surface with all types of marine life. There are so many different designs and artwork that you can draw on your walls and ceilings.
Wavy wood
Just like the previously mentioned arches, wavy wood is becoming more popular to add a touch of softness to the space. Sharp edges are things of the past; say hello to curves and forms.
Usually found in common areas in the home, wavy wood can also be a beautiful accent piece to your bedroom or home office. It can also soften the look of your living room and make it feel more calm and comfortable.
