Loving all blemishes and being more than okay with broken items, flaws and scratches on your chairs or wooden floors. It’s one of the coolest trends as this is one trend which everyone should follow as it stems from mindfulness.
Metal hardware decorating items will become popular
Wooden furniture is going to be replaced by thin metal designs. Metal always stand for its sleekness and gives a comfortable appearance of smoothness. For example with metal, the stackable chairs will look more aesthetically pleasing and beautiful. Also, their long life and durability with an emphasis on spaciousness will change the entire look and feel of the room. Metal hardware also has a knack to lend a regal appeal and as metal goes well with all kinds of colours, it’s the best way to add an element of visual depth and delight. You can use metal to design your photo frames in silver and gold colours or use a metal coffee table. You can mix metallics with different textures, and experiment how it looks, play around a little bit. Iron is generally known as the metallic neutral. It grounds the other metals in terms of look and texture and helps to pop out the colour giving a beautiful appeal.
Using metal in your rooms gives you a discerning look of royalty while making your space pop out, giving a feel of an expansive room.
Spa Inspired Bathrooms
Start your day with a beautiful view of your bathrooms. The strong trend seen from the interior experts is resort-inspired bathrooms. Style your bathrooms and accessorize with latest wellness products like scented candles and comfortable ambience with large mirrors and ample of light (or any coloured light of your choice) and enjoy your time by installing bathtubs, and if possible, a window overlooking a beautiful garden.
