Just like the quickly changing fashion (wikipedia) world, the huge range of new furniture and designs for interior decoration is hard to keep up with. What´s new and what remains an inevitable classic?
New romantics
“Same, but different” could be one of the main headlines regarding the news in home decoration. You´ll find a whole range of wall papers that resemble designs of former decades or even earlier eras, still these new designs, often based on classical motives and patterns, come in fresh colours or unique patterns that feature unusual details. If you choose to upgrade the atmosphere of your home by applying lush and opulent wall papers, you should always keep in mind that less is more. Many decorators give the advice to use such flashy patterns in a rather restrained way, otherwise the room might seem completely over-decorated and thus loses its natural, cozy atmosphere. Still a modern and unique wall paper often matches well with modern furniture, it can be like a frame to a photograph or painting you love.
Goodbye minimalism!
Minimalism (wikipedia) and restrained shapes have been the main subject and ideal in terms of furnishing for many years, nearly decades. Slowly a softer influence runs through the universe of furnishing and home-decoration, the minimalism is replaced by a new and almost lush and spacious landscaped interior. The recent favourite shades of colour, such as brown-shades and earthy shades often make way for bright and flashing colours which should be used to emphasize the special features of a room.
Classics
Apart from all the news and new influences, there are few things that always seem to remain classics such as lounge chairs. Both comfy and beautiful to look at, these items of furniture, originally designed in the 1950ies, never seem to lose their up-to-date character.
A combination of new influences and true classics, of dashes of colour and splendour help to create a contemporary look in your personal home.
