Colors
[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="34"][vc_column_text]There’s been a shift lately towards deep and darker colors of certain elements and pieces, in burgundy, deep navy blue, dark grey and emerald green, combined with pearly whites and pastel pinks.On softer colored backgrounds, single pieces in deep colors look even more prominent, creating a beautiful juxtaposition between lighter shades and richer darker contrasts of dark blues and deep reds. Sea motifs with elements of corals and shells and the tranquillity which those motifs symbolize are becoming more and more popular.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][vc_single_image image="1124" img_size="576x440"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/gem_fullwidth][gem_divider margin_top="100"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2" offset="vc_col-lg-6"][vc_single_image image="25331" img_size="576x400"][gem_divider margin_top="92"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1457773278503{margin-top: -9px !important;}"][vc_column_text]
[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="30"][vc_column_text]Wallpaper, if chosen wisely, could easily become an element that gives the room texture and draws you in, but it can also provide the background to whatever style you desire for your home.Lately, there’s been an increase in the use of patterned and textured wallpapers. Bold prints are paired up with vibrant colors, tidy and neat geometrical shapes with messy patterns and splatters of color, reminiscent of those of Jackson Pollock’s work.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="37"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width="stretch_row" css=".vc_custom_1457773357524{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;background-color: #f0f3f2 !important;}"][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1457773368296{margin-top: -9px !important;}"][vc_column_text]
Accessories
[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="40"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][vc_column_text]This is an area where you can have most fun and creative freedom. One of the key features is greenery. Green is the most natural color and by bringing it in, you add spark, radiance, and vivacity to your home. There’s a vast choice of plants to choose from, such as palm trees, succulents or cacti, and you can place them in pots, arrange them on walls or suspend them from the ceiling.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][vc_column_text]An interesting art piece is one of the best accessories you can have. It can be a huge wall piece of fantasy or abstraction, blown-up photograph, geometrical sculpture-like bookcase, or statement mirror that is well combined with any material in the room. Its reflective surface will disperse light around the room giving it a warm and magical feel.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_single_image image="25333" img_size="576x400"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width="stretch_row" css=".vc_custom_1492704700141{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}"][vc_column width="1/2"][gem_divider margin_top="50"][vc_single_image image="25328" img_size="full"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1492705378710{margin-top: -9px !important;}"][vc_column_text]
Floor Covering
[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="40"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]One of the most obvious trends nowadays is mixing different materials and textures, such as retro tiles and wood, wooden floors and stone. Another big hit is customizing your existing floors by giving them a fresh new look with a different polish. It might take some time to perfect it and get the finish you want, but it’ll be worth it in the end.One of the best ways to accentuate floors and bring out their beauty is by adding rugs.

Mix Old & New
[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="40"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The eclectic style will never go out of fashion. It gives us the opportunity to express our uniqueness by mixing styles, colors, textures, shapes, and materials. For example, you can combine wood and metal with concrete, glass, exposed brick, and linens.A fireplace is also a great element to experiment with. Even if you install the latest, state-of-the-art gas fireplace, you can still play with elements and add wood, marble or concrete to achieve the chic look.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="40"][vc_column_text]
