2011 Trends

Simplistic old modern and vintage are the central trends for 2011, streamlined and tailored is a necessity with soft natural colours making your home neutral with the odd hint of colour on a wall, cushion or sofa.
Geometrics
Rebalancing your home with natural, homely colours is what’s coming into play this year and will follow through to 2012. Using clean slick lines with the occasional zigzag will make your room look fresh and clean. Watching out for vintage, repeat pattern and the odd 1970s print is what could really put that spark back into your home. This year is all about making things look fresh….
Colourful
In 2010, strong colours made a breakthrough but the difference in 2011 is the clashing of colours, following the trend on the catwalks and clothing. Being confident with your choices of colors, will bring a strong sense of style an individualism in your house. Painting a feature wall with a strong hue, will add impact and a hint of colour to your room.

Pattern and Print
When choosing a printed piece for your room, you need to make sure that not only the colour suits the mood of the room but the piece fits. Sounds easier than it looks, don’t be afraid to choose the unexpected, as it’s not just about suiting your needs in a room but about creating a room to your own taste and style. Don’t be afraid to consider using lots of texture with your furniture fabrics. And also, by painting the wall behind your selected piece, a colour that sets it off, it will make it stand out with desired effect.
