Eco, eco-friendly, eco-awareness 'going green' are buzz words which we hear repeated again this year and whilst this is not a bad thing, I don't know about you but it's becoming rather glib – as such interior designers have embraced the eco trend with the use of colour palettes inspired by nature along with promoting the use of natural materials and up-cycling in our homes.
This style lets you chose which aspects of nature interest you the most; for example those who live near or love the sea can adopt colours which remind them of stiff sea breezes and white horses created by crashing waves. This style is not the typical coastal or beach interior design styles that we've also become accustom to. This year the colours come from Northern Europe and are far more invigorating than sand yellows and sky blues.
Others can turn towards Scandinavia for inspiration by using eco-friendly wooden furniture and furnishings with soft grey and white colours interspersed with pops of natural colours, typically greens and blues.
Simple kitchen blinds made from natural cottons and kitchens rugs made from jute are just a couple of examples of how you can bring this fresh new look into your home.
