What’s on the horizon in the world of home interiors? Get ready to embrace turquoise, fringing, velvet and metallic, just to name a few.

On The Horizon

Turquoise

Turquoise, or AI Aqua in the tech world, is going to be a huge trend in 2020. Inspired by advances in technology and building on from the popular neo-mint trend, this positive colour has a futuristic and innovative feel. This trend will be brought to the fore with the release of Avatar 2.

This special combination of blue and green is known for it’s invigorating, cooling and calming qualities. It is also fun and uplifting, youthful and sporty. It enhances communication and creativity and is a great stress reliever. Turquoise is ideal for small rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms and offices. As a wall colour, a soft turquoise can make a room appear larger and creates a refreshing yet calm appearance. Brighter turquoise can be introduced in the linen and accessories. Already popular within the world of fashion and tech, AI Aqua is going to be taking our homes by storm.

Swish Swish

Fringing is the retro look that’s back with a bang. The autumn/winter 2018 catwalks were awash with fabulous tassel designs that swung and swayed their way down the catwalks. The embellished look is now proving popular with interiors, with the trend making its way onto cushions and curtains, mirrors and lamps. Swooshing into the home, fringing is big news for the season’s hottest homeware. With fringe-factor top of the design agenda, designers are turning to tassels and fringes to add a flirty edge to home interiors.

It’s a Match
