FLORAL PRINT ON A WHITE BACKGROUND:
Just a warning this look isn't for everyone but in some houses it can just look amazing! Floral print is something that seems back in the day, but it has just come back and I think you can only really make floral print work on a white background. It can add a romantic touch to a room while at the same time making a strong statement. You can go for a variety of different colours for the actual print but make sure it has a white background. Try things like cushion covers, graphic art, wall paintings, wall paper ect!
AFRICAN INFLUENCES:
African influences are becoming more and more popular this year and it is something I personally love and included in my new house. They bring warm colours and animal skin print into modern interiors. This can include wooden furniture, carvings, wrought iron, sculptures, hand made decorations that all have that defined African style. I have noticed a lot of luxury villas are including this into there interior as well, it has a really modern feel to it. It looks best in the colour pallets including blacks, dark browns, greys silvers and whites.
WALL WRITING AND SKETCHING:
This is something I love the idea of and just recently saw a clients house that I advised to do something like this and it looked so modern and so chic. This can be hard to pull off put if you have the right house it looks really great. I think you should look around for a good message or quote that you really like or something that represents your house then it is written elegantly on your hallways or even your ceilings, which can add a really modern touch.
BRASS:
Brass is THE metal at the moment with its rich look at sculptural weight it something that a lot of designers are really loving at the moment. It has such a great 70's feel to it. One thing I recommended to a client to do in there house was make there stair case black and have gold brass handles it looked so incredibly modern to something that is associated with the 70's.
GREEN:
You may be think Green... no thanks but emerald green is the the colour of 2013. One thing I will say is not to over do it other wise it will look really tacky and thats not something we want, we are going for the modern look. Not only is Emerald being used,there's lots of other varieties out there from spring green to olive. A little pop of green looks really fab. Having a black couch then adding in an Emerald seat and ottoman would look really good, A green lamp, cushion, feature wall to be more bold. I really like using blacks, greys, silvers and creams with Green it just really works.
LACE:
You know Grandma's old table cloth you thought was so out dated, your wrong it's so in right now! It has been big on the runways for awhile now but now it been brought into the home collections. Its not just plain old white lace thats in, even though that can still work i'm loving it in black its such a big spin on an old classic. Whether its a lace cushion or curtain it can look so elegant but so modern at the same time!
