HOME DECORATING TIPS - INTERIOR DESIGNER SECRET’S REVEALED
The pandemic has made a significant impact on home improvements. With most of us spending more time indoors, making our home an uplifting environment for a place of work, education, rest and leisure has become a priority at present and for the foreseeable future.
Revive your home with the latest luxury interior design trends. Our edit includes agate crystals to boost the chakras, statement trays that go beyond serving, glass vases that perform as art pieces and round mirrors that are symbolic. Learn how to master the art of colour blocking and psychology and curate your own interior personality, as a proud homeowner in 2021.
AGATE CRYSTALS
Agate crystal rock has increased in popularity over the last couple of years and comes in a beautiful and diverse range of shapes, textures and colours and can be unique to each and every home. Aside from the aesthetic attributes, the agate crystal has been known to have metaphysical “healing” energy. You can simply choose to place Agate crystals around the home as ornaments or opt for stunning furnishings such as lamps, coffee table tops or coasters embedded with Agate, which make for elegant decoration and mood lifters.
STATEMENT TRAYS
A tray is no longer just for culinary serving, but for displaying as striking home decor. Decorative patterned trays make for a statement piece that also serves a myriad of organisational purposes; use to display keys or everyday items, jewellery, fragrance or as a candle placer. A selection of vintage trays can even make for an interesting concept for a wall art display.
GLASS VASES
Glass vases should not be overlooked and can quickly become a “hero” statement piece to accommodate seasonal bouquets and brighten up the room instantly. Choosing a standout vase with sculptural elements, can work wonders, sitting all on its own as an art piece. Designating a vase beyond the table as a centrepiece can enhance the ambience of the room. We suggest placing on window sills, bookshelves, dressers, kitchen counters and bathrooms.
ROUND MIRRORS
Oversized and overstated round mirrors have flooded Pinterest social feeds for those seeking mirror design inspiration. Whilst square and rectangular shaped mirrors take a side step, circle mirrors are the latest trend in mirror decor. The circle itself is a universal, simple and geometric shape, which can be hung in any room within the home and won’t go out of style.
COLOUR BLOCK
Modern interior design is highly influenced by colour blocking, whether its statement walls or soft furnishings, a vibrant boost of colour can inject personality to any space. Colour psychology is common knowledge in marketing but it’s also a powerful interior design tool that can impact the mood of a room or space. Colours create the desired atmosphere and environment for which we are to live and thrive. We have highlighted some of our favourite colours and leading trends for 2021.
PEACOCK TEAL - A cool deep and rich, blue - green shade, peacock teal symbolises balance and reflection and has calming properties which can help to revitalise a space.
PERIDOT - Peridot, a warm olive green shade, has a luxe jewel tone essence - the birthstone for August and offers a sense of richness, opulence and triumph.
BLUSH - Delicate blush pink adds a calming yet romantic feel and whilst may seem feminine to some, can be gender neutral when mixed with white, silver, gold, blues and greens. The subtleness of blush pink can make for nurturing accents in any room.
NAVY - Royal navy blue is the darkest and strongest colour trend for 2021. This shade evokes confidence, success, peace and trust and is often featured in places of relaxation, such as the bedroom, bathroom or living room.
