Hot Decor Trends in Cold Winter

Winter needn’t be dark or depressing! This season we are embracing a few new trends and revisiting classics: think ‘winter wonderland’ with minimalist décor and design, and striking features to brighten up the space. This is a season for staying stylishly warm, while keeping the cold weather at bay with richly textured fabrics.

COSY KNITS...
Knitted accessories are getting bolder, with huge chunky cable-knits replacing demure weaves. Think poufs, throws, and carpets.
 
KEEPING IN CHECK...
Touches of traditional tartan look well in both a town house and country house setting. Be bold and go with a muted wallpaper, otherwise try a new fabric on sofas or curtains.
 
VINTAGE TILES...
Try Hadeda on Jan Smuts in Rosebank for a truly astonishing selection of vintage and unique tiles to spruce up a kitchen, bathroom, or accent wall with divine design! In a monochrome world a splash of colour can change your entire interior.

NATURAL TEXTURES...
For big furniture items it is all about mixing natural textures and opting for materials such as cane, rattan, and wood. These are timeless and can work well indoors and out!

MATERIALS…
This is a huge trend going forward, and lamp tables show this off nicely as they combine metal and glass.ROARING 

TWENTIES…
Thanks to The Great Gatsby and Downton fever, the 20s are back with its bright metallics and mirrored surfaces to add a bit of sparkly gorgeous light to every room, opening up spaces and complementing all interiors.
 
HAND MADE WITH LOVE...
Printed, knitted, woven or glazed – this year customers want a clear sense of the hand of the maker. Why not try one of the many Joburg markets, like Arts On Main, to fall in love with homegrown artists and their wares?

CHANGING ACCENTS...
Furnish your space with tasteful, versatile statement chairs which can be used in multiple rooms of the home while making a big bold impact.

SHADES OF GREY…
A staple in the design world which can be used in gorgeous geometric fabrics on beds, cushions, curtains, and even humans! There’s a sense of yearning for calm and purity which pale greys and monochromes inspire.

Interior designers recommend updating your decor seasonally, but setting trends doesn’t mean breaking banks: easy ways to revamp the decor in your house include changing paint on a couple of walls, as well as the mirror hanging there. If you can’t afford to go with a new statement piece of furniture, consider reupholstering an existing chair, some fresh scatter cushions, or a new dramatic throw for your sofa. Getting a new light fitting can brighten up a room dramatically, along with shuffling furniture around the house to re-feng your shui, or using a different carpet. With a little imagination and a couple of fresh pieces, your home can look like the cover of a magazine!
