If you have watched Selling Sunset, you will know just how important the interior design of a home can be. Whether you are selling it or living in it, keeping your space up to date can make a big difference.
Last year, Aussie’s home trends included the rise of a subdued natural aesthetic, colour palettes embracing browns and soft terracottas, minimalistic shapes, indigenous patterns and natural materials.
However, this year the design team at Wethrift predict more bold statements, almost reflecting the emergence of lockdown and a positive outlook ahead.
The team have outlined these upcoming trends, and how you can incorporate them into your homes this year.
Multipurpose Homes
During the past few months, our homes have been transformed into personal gyms, office spaces and classrooms, which is why experts predict multipurpose furniture will be the next big thing.
Whether it is the unique and quirky craftsmanship of a shelf that transforms into a table or the simple but equally exciting universal chair, multipurpose furniture is helping transform homes into a minimalistic haven for living, working and relaxing.
Keep your eye out for sofa beds and coffee tables with hidden drawers and lift-up storage. You won’t know that they are there, but they will keep your clutter out of sight.
Multipurpose furniture is up and coming, with #multipurposefurniture amounting to 5,677 posts on Instagram, seeing a 48% increase in google trends in the last 30 days.
Vibrant Colours
Vibrancy has been painted across our clothes and walls for some time now, often going through phases of popularity – and now it’s back and bolder than ever.
The key to incorporating these daring colours into your home is through accessories. From cushions to ornaments, adding splashes of bright colour will not only lighten your space but also your mood.
The #colourfulinteriors has been used 111,139 times on Instagram, seeing a 44% increase in Google searches.
If you want hints of colour, you can try vases, fruit or flowers and always feel free to mix colours or clash them for the ultimate maximalism fix.
Sustainability
Research shows ninety per cent of Australian consumers want sustainable products, and it seems they are committed to incorporating them into their homes next year.
Searches for ‘Sustainable living’ have seen a 258% increase in searches over the past week.
