Apartment Design Trends 2016

Interior design trends vary, based on many factors like the state of economy and seasonal changes. This piece of article highlights home-trends which are currently in vogue. Some trends overlap the past year trends while others require a modification to suit current styles.

Here are 5 of the most sought-after apartment trends ruling the interior charts:

1. Neon Accents
Neon theme inspiration for your apartment will go a long way in making an impeccable impression over anyone. Colours like lime green and bright yellow are the latest fad. The coordination of colours has to be balanced. Keep it modest, too much of bright neon can be disturbing.

You can use it (watchfully) on the wall space above the bed area, kitchen cabinets, wardrobe, curtains, mirror boundaries, pendant lamps, bathroom floor tiles, etc. Keep the rest of your home space in subtle shades.

2. Traditional
India is specially known for the variety and beauty of its locally handcrafted artefacts. This year, handcrafted articles will be an integral part of home decor. Old things with a history also occupy a special place, not just on shelves but also in lives of people. The preserved story about that wedgewood collection passed over generations might interest your guests.

4. Emphasis on nature
The focus of interior designers has shifted to environment-friendly designs and green living. The essence of this art lies in bringing home closer to nature in the most artistic way. It does not only look beautiful and calm but also has profound health benefits. Read, spa, listen to music or relax in an aura of nature.

5. Minimalistic approach
As spaces tend to be costlier, the minimalistic arrangement of space and keeping only functional decorative items is gaining prominence in 2016. For the same reason, modular furniture with dual functionality is popular among the online home shopping sites. Some easy space-saving furniture ideas are convertible tables, sofa-cum-beds, understair storage, wall beds, fusion dining and pool tables, etc.
