Spring/summer interior trends 2018

What's hot for your spring/summer interiors in 2018?

Well we say what's hot - perhaps we should be saying what's cool - ice cream cool as Gelato colours are going to be a huge trend this year.  So what's your favourite ice cream, vanilla, mint, pistachio, strawberry?  Now you can surround yourself with the flavours you love.  

Gelato

The ice cream palette doesn't have to be a single colour either, who doesn't love layers of delicious ice cream like a Neapolitan - you 

have it as a feature wall or just combine the colours using some well chosen accessories.

You can find vanilla, mint and strawberry in our plain carved range of rugs - and these plain rugs are perfect for pulling your interior design scheme together.

Gold

In 2017 the metallic trend was all the rage and it's still here but this time the metal of choice of gold.  Gold is softer than silver which makes it easier to use in your home decor.  It's also very 

decadent and so the trick is to use sparingly.  This fabulous gold rug doesn't need too much as it could be overwhelming, perhaps a new gold trimmed mirror, a couple of gold framed windows and a gold lamp base.  

Totally tropical

If you fancy going tropical then the trick is to layer different colours.  So use different coloured throws and cushions, think bright pink, yellow and blue.  Then choose a couple of tropical prints and pair with this fabulous tropical rug.   There really is                    no better way to say goodbye winter and hello summer then creating your own tropical paradise indoors.

A colour to cherish

  

Cherished Gold

#Dulux has recently revealed its colour of the year for 2016 - Cherished Gold.  Their colour experts say this colour pairs well with ‘fresh pastels and rich jewel tones alike and its earthy quality make it easy to use and coordinate.’

If you like to keep up to date with the latest interior design styles then you need to start thinking about how you can introduce this new shade to your home without breaking the bank.  The smart interior designer understands how, by replacing just a few key pieces, their home will remain bang on trend.

As we never get tired of saying, one of the quickest, cheapest and easiest ways to give any room a fresh new look is by introducing a new rug.  And if you’re looking for a rug that features this must have colour - we’ve got a few designs which incorporate our interpretation of gold, which I think you’ll like 

For the discerning home, the fine Indo Persian gold rug (above) offers exceptional detail thanks to a superb level of craftsmanship and is one of our finest rugs. Also above, the Pakistan Bokhara offers a plain gold centre and is perfect for a lounge or dining room, while we think the traditional Afghan design would work well in a bedroom.

For those on a budget, we love the City Range Design (below) which features a bold gold floral motif that will take centre stage in a living room.  Or, how about the Gabbeh rug which would look great in any room in the house?

Let's go for gold in 2016.
