2. Sofas That Make a Statement
Neutral tone sofas are a thing of the past. Statement sofas are trending this year. However, the challenge here is not letting the sofa overpower the rest of the décor in the room.
So, if you fantasize about a statement sofa, you need to know how to make it work:
How To Make Statement Sofas Work
- Amplify the color – make the statement sofa pop against the pale surroundings.
- Repeat the shade – make a bold statement by coordinating the sofa color with the rug or a piece of art on the wall.
- Go wild with patterns – forget about mixing subtle with bold. Go wild all the way with an unexpected combination of patterns, colors, and artwork.
3. Geometric Wallpaper That Wows
Wallpaper design has changed over time. With myriad different textures and patterns, wallpapers are now more of an art. This year, geometric wallpapers have made a mark with bold colors and large shapes. These geometric throws are easy to incorporate in any room to instantly draw attention to any space.
Haara Metsa by Cameron Design House is designed to look like a weeping willow branch. It is beautifully assembled to create a dramatic effect worthy of appreciation.
How To Style a Geometric Wallpaper
- Use complementary colors – if using bold bright wallpaper, choose neutral or monochromatic shades for furniture and décor items.
- Make the geometric wallpaper the feature piece – use a geometric wallpaper only if you want to make it the feature of the room.
- Be open-minded and creative – don’t be afraid to try out different combinations of geometric colors.
4. The Vintage Look
With its rustic yet luxurious feel, it’s no wonder that the vintage lighting has been trending this year and will make its way into the new year as well.

Style Tips
- Pick LED vintage style bulbs for brighter white light, which also consumes less electricity.
- While selecting any hanging light, measure the ceiling height and consider the cord length too.
- Individual hanging lights can be grouped together in multiples and hanged at varying heights for added drama.
5. Velvet Furniture Is Taking Over
Velvet was always looked upon as something that is old-fashioned. However, interior designers love this multi-dimensional fabric.
Believe it or not, they have turned this old-fashioned fabric into something luxurious and funky. Velvet is and will be one of most sought-after trends in the new year.
Where Best To Use Velvet
