Whether your home interior style is timeless and classic or bold and modern, it’s always good to know what’s in style and on-trend in the design world. Umhlali-based interior designer and furniture manufacturer Martin Harris offers some advice.
MARVELLOUS MAGENTA
This year’s Pantone colour is magenta. Described as a ‘nuanced crimson tone’, this is a beautiful vibrant colour that needs to be used very carefully in your home so as not to overpower everything else. Why not try using some wallpaper with magenta in it on an accent wall in your home?
TONE THINGS DOWN
A great way of allowing yourself the ability to change up your décor according to the seasons and trends, is to ensure your sofa is a plain coloured fabric. That way you can add extra interest by mixing up your chairs, ottomans and scatters in an arrangement of patterns and plain fabric.
NATURALLY SHEER
When it comes to curtains, we like to keep things natural with sheer fabric on a wave tape finish, giving a modern look all the way through the home.
