The second half of the year is approaching and we all know what that means for the property market.
There are many things to consider when making the decision to buy a home, from whether you are going to renovate your current home, whether you are going to make changes to it, to whether you are going to buy a renovated home or one that you can renovate yourself.
The following are some key points that will guide you through the process
Warmer and Uplifting Colour Tones
A trend towards earthy colour palettes, like green and brown hues, emerged in 2022, and it’s continuing in 2023
Future trends might see people using natural wood (or, as an alternative, porcelain with a wood-look finish) with warmer tones of color.
Despite the popularity of grey and white in recent years, warm and vibrant shades are making a comeback with their return to contemporary designs.
You can also add cheer to your living space with furniture and artwork. So if you’re into playing around with colors, here’s some inspiration for how to get started.
Plain White Walls
Warmer shades are becoming more popular, so plain white walls are being used more often. Plain white walls provide a great contrast for warmer colors.
European-style architecture with curves and plain white walls creates a cozy atmosphere. These styles are gaining more attention here in Australia.
It’s pretty popular nowadays to paint the walls limewash as they’re considered more environmentally friendly and give the walls a nice texture.
Geometric Designs
A trend that’s gaining traction this year is checkered and curvy interiors. Geometric patterns have been around for a long time and are timeless. You can play around with this trend and make it work for your home. You can make it look more modern or traditional with your color scheme and other things, like lighting and furniture.
Embracing Texture
Limewash paints and textures are still hot, but other materials that give your interior some texture are in as well, like wood flooring or textiles.
Many designers like textured tiles and mosaics. These have long been used in feature walls, but now you’re seeing texture in a lot of interior design everywhere.
Sustainability
The trend towards environmentalism and bonding with nature seems to be reflected in architecture and designs.
Think reusable energy and sustainable fabrics that could be maintained with eco-friendly chemicals.
Another aspect of this trend that we’ve noticed recently is using natural light as much as possible and incorporating it into the design.
Statement Stone
As porcelain tiles become cheaper, they can look like natural stones and have become a luxury material.
Increasingly, interior designers are incorporating natural stone into bolder designs called “statement stone ”.
You can put a piece of natural stone on a wall, tabletop, or anywhere you want it to stand out.
In this trend, marble is popular because of its unique look and elegance.
Traditional Styles and Thrifting
There’s a big buzz lately about traditional interior design coming back into style. Old school sofas, lamps, classic art decor style with lots of art pieces filling the room are all part of the look.
Workspace with Style
Over the past few years, many of us have worked from home. Now, we need a dedicated home workspace.
There’s nothing new about the home office, but remote work seems to be becoming more and more popular these days, so designing a comfortable place to work at home is going to be a critical part of making a nice house.
Laundry Rooms Designs
Nowadays, laundry rooms aren’t boring backrooms. Since we spend so much time there, it’s a big deal.
