New year, new resolutions and new home décor trends for everyone who wants to bring a fresh atmosphere into their houses.
2016 has been beautifully marked by metallic accents, rose quartz and blue nuances as well as a large combination between traditional and modern elements. Although interior designers have already designated the trends for the new year, we will find that there are few elements from 2016 that will continue be a success in 2017 as well.
Colours
The predominant colors of the interior design of 2017 are shades of purple, blue tones and vibrant colors such as orange, yellow, pink and red. They are strongly influenced by symbolist current, present in various forms of art from the nineteenth century. Additionally, tones of green, from pale to dark shades inspired by nature are combined with various earthy colours.

Those who still love pink and gray, 2017 will be a delight for them as the association between these two will still be a trend this year. For example, a metallic rose combined with different shades of gray will undoubtedly make your interior look stylish and modern.

As you can notice, the blue and pink nuances as well the green combinations have been a successful trend in the past few years and they will continue being designers’ favorites in 2017 as well in matters of colours. However, perhaps the most audacious proposal is the combination between shades of purple, orange and gold. Such combination will create a luxurious ambience defined by intensity of the colors and the contrasting textures, for those who prefer a pretentious style.

If you do not feel comfortable changing your furniture or you have a limited budget, we suggest that you add a futuristic drop to your décor by using decorative elements that represent geometrical shapes such as pillows, bed sheets, covers for the sofa and chairs or a rug.

Materials
2017 defines the style and features of the furniture, lighting and design objects. Thus there were established some “rules” on materials to be used or not.So here are few suggestions:
Terracotta
Warm materials such as terracotta bricks will replace the white and cold flooring, turning your interior décor into a relaxing Mediterranean retreat. Terracotta floor tiles are an optimal choice for your kitchen, bathroom or bedrooms if you are looking for a rustic or classic style. Depending on the available budget, you may want to invest a little bit more and buy good quality if you want it to be durable and a worthy investment.
