As the new year begins, it’s a fantastic time for a fresh start with new beginnings, and your home should be no different. If you have been considering making some décor changes, this could be the time to do it. What exactly are the ideas, elements and trends emerging from the interior design conversation at the moment? Let’s find out.
HOMES INFLUENCE OUR MOOD
Homes can have a direct influence not only on our moods but our overall well being. After a period of being forced to slow down and spend time in our homes during the pandemic, the desire to create an aesthetically soothing place has moved to the forefront of our thinking.
“Our homes have become an increasingly important anchor in our lives; they are where we spend the overwhelming majority of our time now,” says interior designer Becki Willis, the founder of Studio Van Oliver, a UAE-based interior design studio specialising in residential design, home renovation and styling. That mindset is having a direct impact on interior trends, with maximalist and warm and cosy’ now an entrenched interior approach that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
“Our homes have a significant impact on our mood and wellbeing, and, particularly after the last three years, people are looking for warm and welcoming spaces that simply make them feel good,” explains Willis.
NATURE KNOWS BEST
The urge to feel grounded and happy in our homes has seen a trend towards earth and palette-cleansing tones in furnishings and accents, that mimic the harmony and serenity of nature. Palettes and materials that are reminiscent of nature have come in with the new year as people look to harness the calming effect of the outdoors,” says Willis.
