TOP INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS FOR THE NEW YEAR 2019

We are at the brink of stepping into 2019. With a new year come new trends in interior designing and some antiquated trends that we should leave behind. To start off the New Year on the right foot, let’s see some of the trends that will be popular in 2019. These trends include great use of space, elegant furniture and beautiful colours that will be an excellent way to refresh or even renew your home for the New Year.

Trends are a controversial topic in the realm of Interior Design, and views may vary wildly. Some designers may agree something is on trend whilst they don't accept other trending interior design looks. But if you are seeking inspiration, here are a few ideas, and choosing what appeals to your personal taste will always be a great idea.

INTERIOR DECORATION PRESENTATION

1. Sustainable Design:

Sustainability is something that has been gaining focus for a while now; we will see interior designs which are eco-friendly in 2019. Across homes, there will be key sustainability related trends such as green walls, herb gardens, and live plant walls. Inculcating green indoor will be a big interior design trend in the coming year. With the environment suffering major crisis, this is a great trend to take decor which is easy on the eyes while leaving little to no impact on our planet as well.

Also, use of sustainable materials such as responsibly sourced furniture and fabric, recycled plastic and natural fabrics will be embraced. The movement towards sustainable design has already made an impact in the world of architecture and now interior design is also catching up to be more eco-conscious.

2. Curved Furniture:

Chairs and sofas in curvilinear cuts is a design that has been long out of vogue, but is making a comeback this coming year. This style of furniture was popular in the mid-20th century, and since has been replaced by straight lines and geometric shapes. But curves in furniture are back in a big way, which gives a more relaxed elegance.

For so long, crisp lines were all the rage in furniture, especially in sofas and chairs. Remember, that you can bring curves to any room with even the smaller furniture accessories. So move out your boxy sectional designs and incorporate more organic shapes and dainty curved furniture that will be a fresh new trend to look out for in 2019.

3. Smarter smaller spaces:

A preference for urban living is leading us to smaller and smaller spaces. One of the secrets of designing small spaces is to make a single space multifunctional. Smaller spaces are perfect opportunities to try out new ideas, which can really be challenging design wise. Smaller homes with tight spaces and great design will be a big trend this coming year.

With a little planning and forethought, even the most cramped spaces can become equal parts functional and eye-catching.

4. Colour trends:

There is a definite relation towards design aesthetics and colour trends across 2019. The pantone colour for the year 2019 is Living coral, which is a great shade of light pinkish orange. Neutral tones are giving way to bolder, more poppy shades which are taking a cue from the pantone colour of the year. After many years the trend of greys and other defining neutrals are now coming to an end. Experimenting with bolder and more saturated colours in exciting hues is going to be a trend which will be relatively simple to transition into.

These bolder colours are primarily used as pops of colour in larger rooms while smaller bits of colour are used in accessorizing. Look out for crisp shades of greens, and watermelon, bright mint and even cocoa browns along with shades of blues. In the spirit of keeping new colours easy, you might want to incorporate these shades in throw pillows, blankets or even chairs.

5. Patterns:

Florals are definitely trending, whether you decide to go over the top and bold, or keep the floral pattern simple, don't be afraid to add patterns into your space. The grand scale of a huge floral patterned wallpaper or design makes quite the statement. Think of dark, larger scale florals is spaces such as your powder room or foyer.

When used in elements like curtains, a bold scale pattern makes an unabashed statement which may not be for the faint of heart. The upcoming trend of floral patterns will be roses, peonies and lilacs with splashes of oversized blooms and other botanical references. Stepping away from the repetitive pattern, we will be embracing a new un-repetitive oversized botanical floral print which is sure to catch your eye for the coming year.

6. Maximalism:

More is more this coming year. Designers are mixing metals with textures and sheen to create a multilayered over the top maximalist look. Interiors should be fun and exciting, and minimalism is now out. Try small doses to avoid overwhelming yourself. Bring in colourful cushions and clashing tones, and place them on your sofas. To make sure your interiors still feel connected, try to find something in common, a theme, within the mix of colours, textures, patterns and objects.

An instant maximalist trend alert can be bold wallpaper, which adds instant appeal. Larger than life designs with a classic mix of rich and bold colours are a perfect way to merge all the above trends and incorporate maximalism at the same time.

In design terms, forecasting a trend is an experimental subject that involves creativity and facilities design interest. The colours are bright and bold, the materials are sustainable and innovative in their recycling methods, and the accessories are adaptable in curves and bold patterns are trending this coming year. These are a few of the up and coming trends of the New Year, hope this inspires a fresh new design outlook for your new year!

DESIGNING YOUR KITCHEN

Apart from Cooking and Cleaning, a lot of activity takes place in your kitchen. The space can also be used to eat, drink and socialise. To accommodate a functional yet beautiful kitchen is a huge task. An impractical design can make your kitchen difficult to use.

The following are some of the most common kitchen design mistakes that homeowners tend to make while planning their kitchens. Be sure to understand what you need to avoid in order to get the most out of your kitchen space.

1. Storage vs. Shelving:

Kitchens tend to contain a lot of things; there are items that are not only for consumption, but also for storage and utility. Finding a place for your appliances as well as maintaining different places for the myriad of foods is essential. Built-in appliances are expensive and overall tend to be larger investments that need to be made with forethought and planning. You should make sure that these appliances are in efficient locations with appropriate power supply.

Open shelving is gorgeous, but think about how much you would display and what the maintenance will be with all the open shelves collecting dust. Utilize as much space as possible for storage. A modular kitchen is an important factor to make the kitchen design appear seamless and elegant.

2. Counter top:

Not having enough counter top space can be frustrating and limit the functionality of the kitchen. Good countertops are expensive, but it’s a good idea to invest in a good material, such as granite, which does not absorb a lot and leaves the counter easy to clean and maintain. Once the counter space is allocated, make sure you understand how many appliances you have for use on the counter.

Think through where the wet work, i.e. appliance work, wash basin and blenders are to be located. Then place sockets conveniently so that the wires are not obstructing other functions. Also, curtail areas where the dry work is the main function, like cutting vegetables, unloading groceries etc. Keeping these spaces divided is important for the counter to be utilized efficiently.

3. Waste management:

Most people do not even consider this as part of kitchen design. However, if you ask anybody who cooks, they are sure to tell you about the amount of organic and other waste produced constantly from all the groceries and food packaging. You should make sure that you have areas for segregated waste, like organic and recyclable.

The waste basket should not be kept where it is visible to all, and also, a part that can be quite tricky to implement, the waste baskets should not be placed without ventilation. Now, modular kitchens have a feature where ventilation slits are placed in cabinets that allow the bin to be placed discreetly yet correctly. A large bin must be placed outside to collect the majority of the waste and a smaller one indoors as well which may be hidden in the built in cabinets.

4. Backsplash:

Another overlooked feature which is essential for the functioning of the kitchen is the back splash area. When working together with elements like, water, fire and air, there is bound to be some messiness. In most modular kitchens there are overhead storage shelves as well as counters below. Now that leaves us with space between the countertop and the overhead storage shelves. Covering this entire ‘in-between’ space may seem like an overkill, but it's highly advised. Leaving any wall exposed may just lead to buildup of grease, especially with Indian cooking.

Cover the surface with something you can wipe clean after use, like a tile. The chimney above the hob may be stainless steel along with your appliances. Keep the backsplash classic with a tile.

5. Lighting and Ventilation:

Natural light is great in your house, but its needed most in the kitchen where more work that requires concentration takes place. It is better to have well-lit areas with good quality indoor lighting. During the daytime, it would be great if the space was lit naturally through natural sun, but in the evening or even when chopping or cooking, it is advisable to use strong artificial indoor lighting.

Ventilation is an important factor and when it comes to the kitchen, improper ventilation can cause health issues from all the fumes, smoke and gases emitted while cooking. Install a good chimney over the hob that has a good exhaust fan. Also, place windows in the kitchen, it is not necessary to close all the windows to maximise the utility of a kitchen. Well placed windows will help bring in light as well as air ventilation.

6. Architectural Integrity:

The ‘kitchen triangle’ is one of the most efficient layouts for your kitchen space. Yes, you need a kitchen that won't looked dated in ten years but functionality, as mentioned before, is key. The kitchen triangle involves spacing the three most used features of your kitchen, which is the sink, the stove and the refrigerator. The layout is to help ease access in between all three while still spacing them out comfortably.

There may be a few variations in the kitchen triangle design, but straying away too much can hurt the efficiency of your kitchen.

There are important aspects and considerations to make when designing a kitchen. Mistakes can be costly and stressful, and can be avoided with the right planning. Executing it the right way can minimize risk and increase the overall utility of your kitchen.
