The interior design trends for fall and winter 2016–2017 reflect the same direction as our new image: refined, chic, appealing and modern.
In 2016–2017, the desire for calm and well-being is even stronger, while we also move beyond a comfort zone that no longer suits us.
You express yourself through your choices, actions and reactions. Did you know that… The design and layout of your home, along with the colours, textures and other details you choose, reflect your personality and, indirectly, a large part of who you are?
We want to express ourselves and change the course of things, both in how we live and act and in how our homes express who we are. We are embracing authenticity more than ever, and we love it!
Here are the interior design harmonies for 2016–2017, according to specialists: firmly rooted in the present, contemporary style highlights simplicity, well-being and character through bold combinations that move beyond the standards long placed at the forefront.
How will this trend take shape in practical terms?
Colours: dark or neutral shades, including white and pale tones, evoke calm and well-being, paired with a dominant colour such as intense blue, burgundy, warm orange, misty green or pinkish grey.
Textures: A gentle mix of textiles gives a room a unique and distinctive touch. Metal, wallpaper, wood, cork, concrete and glass take centre stage.
Shapes: varied linear, floral and tile patterns. These bold elements stand out through their lines and colours, yet remain light when used in moderation.
In short, there is only one rule: there are no specific rules. Let your imagination guide your choices of materials, furniture and accessories.
The key is to balance clean design with vibrant accents in a way that suits your personality. The goal is to draw the eye without overcrowding the room, allowing the space to breathe and express its beauty.
Trends adapt to you, your tastes and your budget. In 2016–2017, the focus is stronger than ever on personalized designs suited to your preferences.
