Decor trends that are out in 2017

• While it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the New Year, trend forecasters and designers are already thinking well into 2017

• If you’re renovating or building a new home, look out for the following trends to avoid, for 2017

Copper

• Copper and rose gold will be out by 2017

• Copper has had a very short run on the trend stage. Old, vintage copper is another thing. It’s a classic. But new styles done in copper are definitely out!

• However, the oversaturation of cheap and shiny imitation copper just ends up looking like you’ve tried too hard, and by doing so, you’ve already missed the boat.

Marble

• With marble home wares all the rage in the mass-produced home wares market; we can soon expect a sharp decline in interest.

• Look forward to raw, earthy textures like timber, clay and wicker

• White marble is on its way out when it come to doing a whole bathroom in it. However, we think marble like Carrara will take awhile to phase out.

Quote artworks

• After years of popularity, consumers will predictably move away from quote artworks.

• We have all seen the ‘Keep calm and …’ posters and they have had their day, and they are so cliché.

Fiddle leaf figs

• Once a feature of every magazine spread, the fiddle leaf fig will soon be substituted for a new statement indoor plant

• The staple indoor plant needs to have an update. Move over fiddle leaf figs, the olive tree is coming

Open plan living

• Generally, open-plan living refers to the main living areas of the home – i.e. the kitchen, living room and dining room – which are combined to create an open, flowing layout with few internal walls and fewer traditional individual rooms in favor of a communal living space

• Defined living spaces are returning to modern homes as consumers seek more private home layouts.

• The living, kitchen and dining areas could be located around central courtyard, breaking up the large open space.”

Subway tiles

• Modern bathrooms and kitchen commonly feature the humble subway tile due to the affordable price point and its versatile look. However, the proliferation of this look will see its popularity decline.

• A beautiful option for a kitchen splash back is a “finger” or “kit-kat” tile. Long and thin, they look great laid in vertical or horizontal rows
