2011 Interior Design Trends

2011 Interior Design Trends

Here you'll find a trend guide to what's hot in 2011--from carpet to colour, read on to glimpse the future...
Wallpaper on the Ceiling? You heard correctly---there's a growing trend which is novel, fun and funky and we predict it's going to take hold in a big way. Remember the feature wall? Well, that little design feature (ahem, pun intended) certainly enjoyed its hey-day(s), and then when we'd done that trend to death it somehow morphed into the papered feature wall and enjoyed a brief revitalisation. After that, people got brave and began papering entire rooms, until the though struck--and spread---that those poor paperless ceilings must be


mighty lonely and neglected up there. Enter the papered ceiling, a twist on the feature wall that's oh-so-frivolous and just a little bit mad-tea-party-esque. Delightful!
Yin and Yang
Everything about our society is screaming out for a little bit of balance. We need more work/life balance, we need more production/consumption balance, and we certainly need more balance in our health and social lives. The same is true for interior design. After years of 'bold' and 'clashing' and 'ironic' design trends, we've realised that what we really need, long term, is balance. Cool, calm, serene and oh-so-symmetrical balance. We want harmony with the environment, light and shade, raw material with dashes of colour. In a post GFC world, we're all about moderation and understated elegance. Ethical Flooring
Following on from the whole balance trend, 2011 is sure to see a boom in ethical flooring. More than ever before we're able to choose from a range of sustainable and stylish options, which means footprint-friendly-flooring and natural (and renewable) resources used to make them. Hoorah!
Balance, holistic living and smarter, more sustainable choices are my picks for 2011--and if that all seems a bit too drab...well, you can always paper your ceiling!
