Consider a very light grey as an alternative to the ubiquitous white wall. Grey gives the room greater depth and allows details such as white architraves to really "pop". It also helps to draw out colours instead of creating a harsh contrast, while remaining universally harmonious with any colour scheme. Photo: Stacy Zarin Goldberg
While we might think of corporate or hospitality spaces as being bland, the tide is changing. With corporate culture becoming more casual, and businesses attempting to attract trendy millennials, interiors that look more like your local hipster coffee spot are becoming more common. Don't be afraid to add in quirky touches to make it unique!
If you have a wardrobe as well-curated as your home, why not put it on display? Using a clothes rack is a great storage option in small rooms, as it leaves more open space, and can be more practical for those who like easy access to their garments. Prepare to go minimal with your clothes though, as most racks are around 100 to 130cm in width.
When it comes to designing living spaces for clients with children, there are a few extra considerations. For example: avoid obvious potential hazards such as glass-topped tables, and furniture with sharp corners. Sofas with removable covers will be invaluable when it comes to inevitable spills and smudges. Added storage will also come in handy when it comes time to tidy up! In general, a kid-friendly space should prioritise practicality, versatility and comfort.
Bedrooms should be a place of rest and relaxation, and colour can have a big influence on our mental state. If you need some inspiration, greys and blues are a great option as they instil a sense of order and calm. Adding gentle prints and textures will keep it interesting without shocking the system.
Need inspiration for your next statement wall art? We have noticed a recent trend towards close-up shots featuring cows and horses. A black and white version can give a moody, artsy feel (without invoking a country homestead!) Pic: Jenni Radosevich
Moving on from blushed hues, wine-inspired tones are the next big trend in the pink/red family. These colours all incorporate a dash of purple (the colour of the year) to add a touch of sophistication. Your inspiration can be anything from a peachy pink Rosé to a deep ruby Merlot.
While often overlooked, the perfect bedhead can be the standout feature of a room! Styles range from rectangular panels to ornate curves, including quilted or panelled designs, or even shelving. Popular fabrics include linen for a minimal look, or velvet for those who prefer to go full luxe. However, a simple timber style can be just as striking!
