For 2016, GOLD is hot!

We saw this metallic used in home decor in 2015 but this coming year it will be everywhere.

Gold is a great way to add some shine to your space but it also can add a touch of glamour or tradition depending on how you use it.  One of the great things about gold is that it works with every colour.  Paired with navy, black, white or cream it is a classic but try getting a little ‘edgy’ by pairing it with pinks, aqua, grey and prints.

When you think gold in the home you probably think fixtures like hardware, plumbing and lighting but think again….gold can be used in many other ways.


We love gold in this bedroom.

A touch of glam, modern and tradition.  The touch of gold in the hardware and the lamp base adds some sparkle and shine.  Adding these gold elements to the high lacquer and clean lined gives the room a bit of a clean modern feel.

You don’t have to go overboard when it comes to gold.

A few touches here and there really go a long way.  We love the gold edging on this coffee table and bar cart.

Re-think gold in your light fixtures.

We love this pendant.  The modern lines and angles make it simple but still interesting and having it in gold…adds some simple glamour.

Look at frames in your home, mirrors or photos, a touch of gold adds some bling and personality to any room.  We love the gold frame mirror in this powder room

 

Pillows in a gold finish is so glamorous and gorgeous!

Pair is with some texture and voila! – instantly chic!


Make a statement with bold, gold art! We love the mix of shades of pink, beige, white and gold.  Girly and fun!

Gold accessories on a coffee table, bookcase or mantel – elegant and modern.

Look for bowls, vases and candle sticks in gold for a touch of glam.

Gold furniture  is so sophisticated and modern.  We love this gold base with glass top paired with upholstered chairs.  It’s the perfect balance of traditional and modern.

2016-trends-for-home

Believe it or not 2016 is around the corner! And the home fashion trends are already in the works!

What can we expect to see in the new year?

FUR (mixing textures) –

Fur (faux) is hot! I find we see this year after year especially in the cooler months but this year it will be everywhere – pillows and throws of course, but rugs and furniture too!

GOLD –

We saw a bit of a comeback of gold in 2015 but we will see even more in 2016.  Lighting, plumbing, furniture – Gold is back!

SHINY DETAILS-

Think edging of furniture and hardware.  Little details that shine! So if you can’t hop on the ‘solid’ gold train try this trend instead.  A little bit of shine can go a long way!

PINK (think pastels)-

Soft and feminine pink in art, furniture and accessories.  In paint we will see beige-pink walls, too! Often we think pale pink is only for little girls’ rooms but it is branching out! It is a great soft feminine touch and it works with neutrals like beige, cream, navy, grey and more.  We love the subtle pastel pink touches in this living room.

BLACK –

Black is never out of style but we will see a lot of black across the board this coming year.  furniture, wall paint, accessories, wall paper….oh my!

BLUE (especially navy)-

We definitely saw a lot of navy in 2015 but it will remain in the ‘trending’ category in 2016.  Furniture, accessories and certainly paint – we will see a lot of painted furniture in navy blue and even kitchens. The image below is a great example of painted navy furniture combined with some shiny details

 

FLORALS (big and bold)-

Think oversize big florals in art and accessories.  Still feminine but with a modern twist.

What’s great with these up coming trends is that many of them work well together.  Try black and gold, gold and fur, fur and black, navy and gold, gold and pink, pink and navy…..the possibilities are endless

How do you feel about these trends?
Do you see yourself embracing any of them in your rooms?
