1. Pantone colour of the year 2017

Greenery (PANTONE 15-0343) is Pantone’s colour of the year and we’re into it. The people at Pantone describe the refreshing and revitalising shade as a ‘symbol of new beginnings’, making it a perfect choice for a room revamp.

REFRESH: Invite Greenery into your home with plenty of plants, accents and this revitalising ‘Tropical Succulent’ macro photo print.

2. Go troppo!

It’s OK. Don’t stress. The naff tropical designs of the 1980s aren’t back, they’ve simply grown up. Celebrate the colours of the tropics with leafy plants, fabulous florals and flashy fauna.

EDGY: Welcome geometric greatness into your living space with this funky ‘Handshake’ print.

5. Grey daze

Rather than the colour grey being a new trend for 2017, it simply continues to be ‘on trend’ which is great news for those who’ve urbanised their wall paint. What’s new is adding more grey to your grey, from carpets to cushions to artwork.

EASY LIKE SUNDAY MORNING: Use grey to design quintessential comfort and add a floral splash using ‘Silk Flower In Grey’.

6. Butterfly Amour

Butterflies may be a symbol of femininity, but that no longer means they have to be relegated to a girl’s bedroom or woman’s retreat. In 2017, the butterfly is for everyone so bring it into your shared living space and revel in their universal beauty.

Navy is the new black. You’re going to see it everywhere – home hallways, family living spaces, public buildings, offices…

RELAX: Escape to anywhere you like without leaving home with a retreat that will offer you peace – plus your very own ‘Garden Of Zen’.

Splashing out doesn’t have to cost tens of thousands of dollars. You don’t have to be a character on Gossip Girl or Sex In The City to afford nice things. What a relief, huh? To feed the passion for ‘new opulence’ you will find art deco stylings everywhere in 2017, making it more affordable than ever. Seek and ye shall find.

13. Moody moments

To bring anything into your life, imagine that it’s already there. – Richard Bach

If you’re seeking something extra special this year, start setting the mood at home. If you’re after more romance, create a romantic ambience. If you’re after more joy, design a happy-go-lucky space. If you want to chill, construct a free and easy atmosphere. And so on.

ONCE MORE WITH FEELING: Turn the literal world upside down with this ‘Polished Agate’ print, a brazen complement to this ambient bedroom interior.

14. Romantic masters

Speaking of romance, the bedroom in 2017 is all about romance. Bedroom design is less about pure lust and certainly more than just about amenity. It’s the year of excitement and mystery associated with love, so have a think about what bedroom trimmings will bring a sparkle to your eye – and get that happening.

SPARKLE: Bring romance back with a dash of femininity in the ‘Pink Water Lily’ print and metallic gold cushions plus a splash of masculinity in the bedhead and lamp.
