Looking to decorate your home? Follow these tips from industry experts and trend forecasters to create a home that’s totally on trend! Believe me, these are 6 trends you don’t want to miss!
Last year’s trend post was such a success, I thought I’d create one this year too. You can access last year’s post here.
You can find more information about the first 5 trends in the October issue of the Ideal Home magazine, or visit their website: idealhome.co.uk
1.Geo Scandi
The scandi look is being updated this season, with mid century styles, metallic touches and darker grey accents making an appearance.
This versatile trend will create a fresh, contemporary feel in any room. Its slim proportions suit small spaces as well as large. Bare floors are key to this trend, add a rug for a touch of warmth.

“Soften this style with ab abundance of houseplants – trailing from hanging pots, sculptural cacti and succulents on shelves or large leafed varieties in floor planters”
Michela Colling, Ideal Home magazine

2.Retro Remix
Mid century style meets contemporary design with a touch of glam to create a statement look. If you’re a fan of Fifties and Seventies styles and want to indulge your love of retro design, this will be right up your street!
This trend works especially well in modern spaces as well as houses built in the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies. It is perfect for dining and living rooms and can be toned down for bedrooms.

3.Modern Romance
Create an air of opulence with a look that combines luxe materials, soft pastel tones and refined rustic touches that are irresistibly feminine, elegant and easy to live with.
This look is ideal for creating a relaxing bedroom. Upholstered furniture and tables with slimline metal edges are key to nailing this trend. You can also try this trend in a period property to give it a warm, contemporary feel.

“For accessories that add a modern edge to this wonderfully soft and feminine style, look for gleaming rose gold or pick vases and objects in marble or rose quartz”

4.New ArtisanÂ
This year’s Hygge is all about giving a utilitarian scheme an organic style with raw finishes and hand-crafted details.
If you like simple country schemes, but are drawn to modern design too, you’ll love this trend. This tactile look will bring a calm, contemporary vibe to a kitchen, living room or bedroom. It works very well against bare brick walls and wooden floorboards that can be found in period properties and barn conversions. Stick to a calming palette of chalky white, warm grey with black or navy accents.

“If you crave a bit more colour with this earthy, natural palette, keep it subtle with russet, orange and ochre to add warmth or denim blue and dusty greens for depth”
Jane Akers, Deputy Editor at Ideal Home magazine

5.Global Glamour
Rich jewel tones, burnished metallics and sumptuous textures bring a luxurious update to the global trend.
This trend works particularly well in a bedroom, bathroom or living room. Add influences from around the world, such as Moroccan rugs or tropical palm motifs. Think velvet upholstery in earthy orange and burnt umber shades, copper bowls and brass lamps.

“Blending textural patterns, bold bursts of colour and one-off pieces provide the finishing touches that add drama to your decor”
Sophia Ridley, Head of design at Debenhams

This look works particularly well in living rooms and bedrooms, due to the luxurious, soft textures and brass accents.
