What’s Hot for 2016: Design & Decor

Fabulous home decor is just as hot in 2016 as in any other year, and there are some fantastic new trends hitting the marketplace. Here are some of the design themes that are tipped to take off in a big way over the next 12 months.
Two Tone Kitchens

For too long we’ve gone for one colour kitchen cabinetry, but no more! 2016 sees the rise of the two tone kitchen cabinet, with upper cupboards in a lighter shade and darker tones for the lower units, or vice versa. This gives home decor enthusiasts the opportunity to try out two looks in one space!

Hardwearing Glamour

How can you make a glamorous living space fit in with family life? Hardwearing fabrics are the perfect solution. This year, we are seeing a rise in bringing traditionally outdoor fabrics into the living room for a hint of durable elegance.

Colourful Stainless Steel

Stainless steel kitchen appliances have long been popular, but that shiny metal look is starting to be a bit dated. So bring them bang up to date with coloured stainless steel, with both bronze and black variants bringing a brave new look to your kitchen.

Formal Dining

After so many years of casual eating, the formal dining room is making a long-awaited comeback. Forget the conversion into a study or playroom, that second reception area should keep it’s proper function and be used for traditional family dining.

Heated Entrances

Why keep that cosy heated floor for your bathroom when you can welcome visitors to your home with a hallway that is heated underfoot?

Statement Mirrors

Never underestimate the power of a mirror to make a dull space lighter or a small space appear bigger. This is the year of the statement mirror, so forget rectangular or square and choose one of the new and exciting shapes to brighten up your home.

Deep Drawers

If you’ve run out of space to store all your pots and pans in your kitchen, you need this year’s latest trend – deep kitchen drawers. Ditch the lower cupboards and cabinets and replace them with double depth drawers for the most stylish way to store your utensils and dishes.
