Top 5 Home Decorating Trends for 2016

Fashion fades, only style remains.  Coco Chanel

It is an odd beginning for a blog about home decorating trends but this is our point: if you style your house, or your dining table, with pieces that reflect your personality and taste, you will always be on trend!

So, keeping this in mind, here are the top five home decorating trends of 2016:

1. Nature: look for organic shapes and textures and for natural materials such as wood, slate, cellulose
2. Pastel Colors: Pantone® colors of the year 2016 are Rose Quartz and Serenity
3. Hand-crafted products, made by artisans or small workshops
4. Shine will continue to be fashion also in 2016
5. Practical: nobody has time for complicated and fussy stuff! Easy entertaining and community-style casual dining are rapidly increasing trends.

These 5 trends apply from dinnerware, to furniture, to fabrics and to accessories.

Let’s have a closer look at each of them.

1. Nature

We are moving even a step forward sustainability and recycling, and heading towards adopting completely natural materials and bringing the outdoors in. Lots of people are growing their veggies in the garden, on their terrace or in the apartment. Small plants and design pots are spreading in the houses, not to mention wall gardens in private and public spaces such offices, restaurants, bistro and museums.

 

2. Pastel Colors

Pantone® colors of 2016  are listed here. They all inspire calmness and stability, encouraging relaxation but also freshness, in line with the trend “nature”.

 

3. Hand-crafted products

4. Shine

We will see a lot of metallic wallpaper, gilded patterned fabrics, as well as coffee tables, furnitures, accessories and tableware made in warm gold-tones, brass, copper, bronze with rose accents.

 

5. Practical

Casual dining and social eating are two growing trends and the tableware sector is creating an extensive range of sharing-inspired serveware and super-versatile dinnerware series. From cheese boards to deli platters, to functional items that can be used for cooking, serving and eating at the same time.
