2012 Interior Design Trends: Chinese Year of the Dragon


This year is the year of the dragon and not just any dragon, The Black Water Dragon to be exact. For those who have their homes organised and live by Feng Shui will love bringing soft golds teamed with black, blues and greens into their homes this year. Obviously the element of water is to be included along with wood and earth.

Integrate gold stripes into your home on duvet cover sets, bed throws and cheap cushions to team with black and blues to create a rich and interesting colour palette in the bedroom. Don't forget to abide by the rules of Feng Shui when deciding where furniture and furnishings should be placed within a bedroom.

The soft golden hues will bring warmth to your home and while earth is represented by rich earthy colours these can also incorporate the natural tones and colours of wood, making browns and greens ideal colours to blend with gold if you don't like black.

In bathrooms accessories of seashells and fish will be more than acceptable, while living rooms could include black dragon images or ceramic figurines. Just because it's the year of the dragon doesn't mean you have to go mysterious and mystical – take your inspiration from the Chinese and have a Happy & Prosperous Year of the Black Water Dragon.
