In general, when it comes to paint, it is typical to hear designers talking about the trend of outfitting entire homes in 50 shades of grey – and how they are tired of doing so. Luckily, those boring greys are on their way out.
Pure white with pops of colour is recommended for the seasons to come, along with rich colours for walls. Dark shades of green are the new must-have interior colour of the season.
Choose an emerald green sofa or a statement carpet in the same shade, or you can go for an eclectic look with green ombre wallpaper.
Moreover, pink, coral and jewel tones that are inspired by metals are highly recommended for 2017.
Another suggested move is adding a vintage touch to your space. While sleek, contemporary interior styles are popular today, the natural retro look is not going away either. Combining old and new has been a key trend in modern home design for years and shows no signs of slowing down. Make sure to introduce raw materials into the mix.
