Interior design Colours 2010

Staying in is the new going out! Comfort and colour are back in favour, the home is where it is at as people choose to stay home rather than go out.

It is the time to express yourself, to personalise your home and to make a personalised statement. With many not movng , house sales are down,  choosing to stay put thankfully reduces the use of magnolia and bland colours on the walls as most people choose to stay in and personalise their homes to suit themselves and their families, rather than prepping the interior in bland non colours for a buyer in readiness to sell.

Comfort is back in vogue, the minimalist look is fading as we choose sumptious soft furnishings for our homes, premium priced items sales are up, cashmere throws have seen a marked rise in sales for the first time in an age, we are now seeking colour and comfort in the home many are choosing beautiful show pieces for investment and good looks, people want excellent design and sustainability but more importantly they are seeking comfort. Home is where the heart is, and will be for many years to come as more of us stay put and create a long term home environent.

The colour predictions for 2010 are softer Purples,  Natural hint of Greens,  Peacock and Teal Blues all in a gentler palette with  Orange making a come back in all shades to suit taste. White and Ivory is in, magnolia and beige are out.
