VELVET
Velvet looks to be just as popular going into 2019. Its tactile ability to provide a sense of softness just from looking at it makes it a perfect companion to the more industrial natural elements we are seeing in interiors such as concrete, wood and metals. Keep it modern and eclectic by using it in combination with contrasting interior textures and styles to create that effortless chic look.

When choosing a colour scheme whites and neutrals have always topped the popularity lists on the colour charts, now we are seeing shades of whites in warmer off beige & greige tones that pair well with sustainable products, such as wool, wood, hemp and canvas.

Its a versatile trend that fits in well with those all white interiors that made such statement in 2018. The use of the colour 'Black' features highly in new kitchen design this year, bold black and white decorative tiles give this kitchen a minimal yet fresh and lively vibe in the all white kitchen.

Brushed light and black oak frames - poster beds are the new must have for any bedroom that has both the height and the floor-space to allow for it. One of my favorite Californian Based Interior designers Amber Lewis uses them often when creating a cool modern edge to any master bedroom space!
