It’s a new year so why not get a fresh start and do some home re-decorating? Here's the latest on some top interior design trends for 2016.
FRENCH COUNTRY
While it never really went out of style, French country is back front and center, thanks to some popular TV shows. This design motif aims to create a rich, eclectic look. You can accomplish this with waxed and weathered furniture paint and accessories.
COLORS FOR 2016
Yes, pastel colors are in — baby pink Rose Quartz and baby blue Serenity. These colors are expected to be hot this year and will be popping up everywhere from paint on walls, to furniture, and accessories.
DON’T BE AFRAID TO METAL IT UP
Metals have been in style for years, now, including silver, gold, pewter, and copper. The trend for 2016 is to mix and match as long as the metals have metallic sheen.
PENDANT LIGHTING
Forget the chandeliers and consider pendants for your lighting needs. They come in all shapes and sizes. There should even be more choices in the coming year including glass, metals, and painted finishes.
UNIQUE SHAPES AND TEXTURES
Whether it’s furniture, accessories, or dinnerware, go ahead and branch out and find items with unique shapes and natural textures. The trend is to see dining room tables look more like the natural shape of wood as opposed to a more finished look.
MACRAME IS BACK
Everything eventually seems to come back into style. This year, it’s weaving. Look for macrame and crochet, basketry, and other locally made goods. It’s also ok to mix handmade goods with mass produced goods you might find at a big box store.
