Colours
Living Coral
Keeping it au natural, Pantone’s colour of 2019 is Living Coral. Containing a golden undertone to its colour, it exudes warmth, playfulness and optimism, whilst promoting a calming environment. Paint a feature wall in Living Coral or upholster a sofa in rich velvet Coral for that bright touch.Spiced Honey
Muted colours are calming and easy on the eyes. Using Living Coral alongside colours such as Spiced Honey, Nude and Chalk, will ensure your living space feels bright and airy. This combination is perfect for smaller rooms as it opens up the space and enhances natural lighting.Forest Green
Botanical prints and hues are a growing trend for 2019. Paint walls in leafy green palettes to promote health and wellbeing, or add lush plants such as Snake Plant, Bonsai tree or Orchids to cleanse the air and add colour. For a touch of opulence, add gold or bronze accessories to your green living space.
Textures
Scalloped Edges
A nod to the art deco era, scalloped edges are a big design trend for 2019. Opt for curved sofas and round armchairs, or swap your rigid glass coffee table for an oversized ottoman and add scalloped lampshades to the room.
Fringing
Fringing and tassel embellishments add a fun, flirty feel to any room. This trend is easy to integrate – swish your way into the 1920s with fringing on cushions, curtains and lamps.
Patterns
Mermaid Print
Bring the ocean home with you by adding mermaid wallpaper to your living space or fish scale tiles to your bathroom. This mystical print is big for 2019 and adds a splash of serenity to any space.
Terrazo Tiles
2019 brings us the resurfacing of terrazzo. This antique style of combining marble, quarts, granite and glass will infuse your home with a Mediterranean vibe. Choose a small terrazzo vase or tile the entire bathroom with it for a more dramatic effect.
That's the beauty of buying a new build home, it gives you a blank canvas where you can add your own personality and style to every room.
