Okay, pause for a minute and look through the spaces in your home. If you are bored at what is staring back at you, it is time to get inspired. Here, ARTAIC is sharing some design trends for twenty-ten that will freshen up your home and keep you interested. Remember, boredom is not a style or an option!
Natural is Always Better
Today, there is a strong emphasis on the use of materials in their natural patina. The texture and beauty provided by each is undeniable. Consider using woods to create cozy and lived-in environments, ceramic and glass when rooms desire a polished and reflective surface, and felt or wool for that added warmth. Metal is also preferred this year because they take on an entirely new quality and appearance when they rust, which is a healthy age. Incorporating natural materials in furniture, textiles, and accessories will keep a space from looking stale and outdated.
Gray Matters
The color gray makes a splash as it covers every surface in design. Go beyond beige and white; gray is the new neutral. As a stand-alone, it is not an overpowering color when applied to all four walls but has enough contrast to provide furniture with beautiful silhouettes. However, when paired with colors that are energetic like golden yellow or peacock blue, the combination is sharp and modern. If there are fears of committing to intense colors, gray is truly the hand (color) to have and hold when taking the risk.
Comeback Tour
Wallpaper is making its debut again in home design. Wallpaper is the perfect alternate for paint- instant design, texture, and color. They make a strong statement in any room and have the ability to transform a space into any desired look whether it is traditional, contemporary, etc. As many embrace the ceiling as a canvas to design upon, wallpapered ceiling is another fresh idea. If wallpaper is not inspiring enough, a modern interpretation of that would be using mosaic tiles to dress up the walls. ARTAIC has the unique, technological ability to create any designs while giving clients that enhanced beauty and depth that only mosaic tiles can give. Also the durability behind the tiles are great for applications in not just residential settings but also commercial.
It’s generally assumed that each new year will desire new changes and new styles. However, these ideas are error-proof and will not fall short of design, creativity, or flexibility for the changing mind and home.
