Fresh off a slew of forward-thinking interior design fairs and salons, we were delightfully surprised to see vintage aesthetics making updated comebacks along with new interior design trends taking shape. To discover our favourite takes on notable interior design trends.

MAXIMALISM

By now, we’ve all had just about enough of the limitations that come with the heavily trending design style minimalism over the past decade. Call it a refusal to the challenging plainness it brings to a home or an acceptance of the more exuberant furnishings and accessories that have been popular of late, as it was only a matter of time before we saw a major shift in the complete opposite direction. And with more and more clients continuing to follow suit, it makes all the more sense when looking to create a rich and unique space.

When looking to bring in transitional and eclectic design styles into your home, a maximal spirit will afford you so much more freedom when considering interesting decorative objects that anything but standard and streamlined in appeal. With maximalism, you’ll have much more freedom to follow your instinct which in turn, will make the design process so much easier. The key to getting warm maximalism right is to keep a well-judged edit and visual consistency so your efforts don’t appear as heavy-handed or over stimulating. Instead, stick to no more than three contrasting colors, patterns, and finishes for a more timeless take on maximalism that won’t feel dated or tiring anytime soon.

SLEEK CONTEMPORARY FIREPLACES

With clients also continuing to ask for thoroughly modern updates to their fireplaces, our interior designers often find themselves suggesting elevated ribbon and strikingly minimal fireplaces that leave a subtle design note in their homes. A contemporary fireplace will always appear timeless while adding defining value to your property.

And with new innovations, come easier to care for and use fireplaces that also take up less visual space while being designed to completely blend in.

TIN INTERIORS

While we haven’t seen stamped tin panels in vogue for decades and as they tend to evoke a vintage-inspired feel, tin panels are one of the easiest and least expensive ways to add brilliant texture in any room in your home.

And while a tin ceiling always looks ultra-glamorous, tin panels also make for seriously chic backsplash ideas. Best of all, you can easily find affordable pre-cut tin panels at a local hardware store or online that you can install yourself without effecting the condition of the walls behind too drastically.

PAINTED FLOOR TILES

Of all of the easiest top home trends to implement, painted floors make sense as painting your floor is one of the affordable home upgrades that’ll have an instant impact in your home. And painting your floors is a great idea for quickly transforming out of date linoleum.

ONE-OF-A-KIND CONSOLE TABLES

Along with the return of heady maximal design, if your living room design isn’t outfitted with a unique statement-making piece of furniture to start conversations, then update it with an avant-garde console table.

That said, if your living room decor budget doesn’t call for a major design splurge, then be on the lookout for more affordable console tables that boast clean, sharp lines in unexpected colors to help evoke the abstract into the everyday.
