Interior create Trends for 2011

What's in?

1. Eclecticism - don't be too matchy matchy! It looks amateurish and not so chic. elect furniture and accessories that are part of the same "family" but not all part of set for goodness sakes. Mix timber with painted finishes, modern with the odd antique, and always throw is something personal and even whimsical. This will give the space soul.
2. Expressing yourself - If you don't love it, don't buy it. If you don't think it should be in, most likely your style hunter instinct is right and others will probably agree with you...today's trend, tomorrows trash. Look for furnishings that speak to you and take the things that you love and revamp them rather than throwing them away.
3. Craft - yesterdays kitsch is today's cool. Nana Chic is here so look for things that are handcrafted by artisans or have a homespun appeal. Ideally buy things that are made locally and are not mass produced...good for the cheaper And the environment.
4. Eco Chic - A new wave of eco friendly is entering the market. No longer are you restricted to a few brown hippy varietals. Now you can get furniture that is just as chic as everything else, but made with sustainable timbers, non toxic or recycled materials, produced locally or made overseas under fair trade agreements.
5. Colour, Colour and more Colour - Need we say more? A trip to the shops in 2011 will communicate an array of gelato inspired hues like watermelon, raspberry and citron or 80's inspired hues like galvanic purple, fuchsia and turquoise...not a muddy tone in sight.

What's out?
1. Plastic - Especially the plastic furniture that looks cheap, uncomplicated and mass produced but costs a small fortune at some shops because it showed at Milan! We are glad the public has cottoned onto this project and is saying no to petrochemicals and yes to things with character and uniqueness.
2. Baroque whatever - The chandelier phase was fun for a while, but it seems we have sobered up and are seeing for something a bit more down to earth. Louis chairs exit stage left, club chairs enter stage right.
3. Glamour Furnishings - While the shine on everything looked good when it first came out, it must go...along with all the mirrored furniture. It was nice looking, but a bit cold to live with over time.
4. Silhouettes - They were on everything from fabric to wallpaper, either it was a cut out of trees, chairs or the ubiquitous birds seen indubitably everywhere! The bird has been supplanted by forest creatures like owls and deer and this descriptive trend has been supplanted by sketches and collage.
5. Throw away furniture - Sure it was trendy and so chaep, but now we are seeing for more venture pieces that are made with potential and relax in mind. Styling is becoming a bit more superior and will date less quickly...really we have enough landfills without throwing a few more pieces of 2 year old furniture in.

Trends in Teal

From Fashion to Interiors, teal is anywhere at the moment. A deeper shade of turquoise it has a gorgeous rich tone that looks remarkable in the home. From velvety fabrics to bold paint and striking wall stickers, we have searched the high street and online retailers to find the best buys to give your home a Teal boost.

Firstly what colours can be teamed with teal? Retailers have gone all out on pairing it with chocolate brown. It does make a remarkable combination. However, As this aggregate does seem to be anywhere this year it may date rather quickly. For something a miniature distinct try it with dark grey for a very cool look or with gold for a truly sumptuous, roughly oriental style.

Next Home have some remarkable upholstery fabrics in this shade. We particularly love the Seville Stripe Lagoon that has distinct shades of teal with a fine chocolate brown stripe. This would look remarkable on a sofa or armchair and as the brown as quite subtle it would fit with other colours too.

Bhs Home is also using a lot of this vivid colour. From large chenille cushions to small sequined ones they have it covered. Any of these could be thrown on an existing neutral, grey or brown sofa to nod to the trend without shelling out on a new sofa.

For some in effect extra wallpaper we can't get enough of Fioravanti Azure by Designers Guild. Its a in effect extravagant flocked wallpaper in Teal and Gold - gorgeous!

If you want to add Teal to your walls without re-decorating we think the turquoise Winter Trees from Zazous are a perfect way to add a real wow factor with ease. With so much to pick from for any funds there in effect is no excuse - get tealed!
