Discover the hottest home trends for this year

A new year is always a time when we start to plan any changes we’d like to make to our homes.

This year, now that we are, in the main, confined to our homes once again, many people will look to refresh their interiors in a number of ways right from a few new accessories to whole new room schemes.

If you’re fancying a little bit of a revamp, then take a look at three of the hottest trends for this year and see if you can make them work in your home.

Colour crazy
The beginning of a new year also heralds the announcement of the ‘Colours of the year’. Dulux has announced theirs as ‘Brave Ground’- a warm and earthy tone, In direct contrast Pantone has two – Illuminating; a warm, sunny yellow and Ultimate Grey; a cool and sophisticated tone. Whether it’s a change to an accent wall, or just a few well placed accessories, introducing a new colour to your home décor scheme can be done with relative ease and without costing too much, especially if you do any decorating yourself.

Outside in
Houseplants have been hugely popular in recent years and are set to continue occupying our homes this year. However, they are now being joined by their dried flower friends! Blooms of subtle, elegant dried flowers are making a huge resurgence and can be bought pre-arranged or in separate sprigs for you to make your own arrangement in a favourite vase or jug.

Velvet opulence
Velvet is set to be the fabric of choice this year whether it is on sofas and chairs, or cushions and throws. Statement investment pieces of furniture in rich jewel colours can make a real statement; perhaps a new accent chair in a hallway, bedroom or corner of the living room will add a new look to the room. Or you can opt to accessorise with either vibrant shades, or muted pastels that can complement many existing furniture schemes and bring a new burst of colour to more minimalist schemes based around creams and greys.

Marie Hanby, Marketing Manager, Serenity Parks commented;” This year will once again be about making our homes work for us as we continue to work from home and home school all whilst trying to make sure it’s a place that we can still feel safe and relax in. By carefully thinking about your rooms, how you use them and how you’d like to freshen them up, you can often find that just a tin of paint, a cushion or two and a new plant or flowers can make such a difference and give you a room to enjoy once again.”
