2017 Interior Design Trend 5: Simple Fabric Bedheads. In 2017, we may see timber being replaced with fabrics. A neatly covered bedhead with a beautiful colour will be a real winner this year!

2017 Interior Design Trend 4: Desert Chic. This new desert trend works beautifully with the darker green and the terracotta mentioned in the other posts. Desert chic may incorporate cacti, Moroccan patterns, and prints.

2017 Interior Design Trend 3: Green. Greens are beautiful, and work harmoniously with dark timber mentioned in the last post. This pairing works decadently with the metallic trend.

2017 Interior Design Trend 2: Dark Timbers. We may see a resurgence of darker and more richer wood tones.

2017 Interior Design Trend 1: Terracotta. Copper is out, and terracotta tiles are in. Soften the terracotta with some greenery; rustic garden pots always look great.

How cute is the new interior space for Noglu, the boutique restaurant chain with a ‘gourmet gluten-free’ ethos, opens the doors of its new flagship café-restaurant-pâtisserie designed by talented French designer Mathieu Lehanneur. Located on the chic rue de Grenelle in Paris’s 7th arrondissement, the new Noglu restaurant sits at the heart of an area renowned for its authentic specialist food shops serving the best of French cheeses. Love the rose gold with the marble and gold-detailing in the archway.

Home-work chair by Oliver + Gustav. Love this design, particularly the accordion-like feature to raise the seat, and the combination of the black and gold.
