Five interior design trends it's time to revive right now
Whether a by-product of socioeconomics, pop culture or fashion, interior design trends can suddenly be so yesterday ... and, just as suddenly, be so contemporary again
There is a famous scene from cult fashion flick The Devil Wears Prada that highlights why trends come and go. If you haven't seen it, google "blue sweater scene" and witness Meryl Streep's cutting delivery of how a colour trend (it's cerulean, not blue!) started by Oscar de la Renta filtered down through department stores, winding up filling the discount bins of mass market retailers. Whether a by-product of socioeconomics, pop culture or fashion, interior design trends evolve in much the same way. Here are five.
There is no better way to inject personality into your space than with a feature wall. Renowned for boundary-pushing design and for her work with Viceroy Hotels and Resorts, Kelly Wearstler makes hand-painted wallpaper that epitomises the statement wall. Follow her lead by choosing bold, artful prints in metallic finishes, or boasting hand-painted techniques and geometric lines in peach, blue or black.
If you are renting, opt for removable wall decals, such as cute bow ties from Urban Walls. Easy to apply and remove, these vinyl stickers allow you to create playful fuss-free walls in no time.
