With designers already talking about the home décor trends for 2019, we reveal the hottest home developments you should be ready to embrace next year.

Dark Kitchens

If you’re thinking about renovating your beloved kitchen, put aside a neutral colour palette and turn to black and navy-blue shades instead. According to Livingetc, searches for black and navy-blue kitchens with matte and powdery finishes were up 93% in the past 6 months, making dark kitchens a must-embrace trend next year.

Garden Offices

Are you staying late at work trying to finish an essential presentation for the next day? Or maybe you’re a freelancer, seeking a boost of productivity in a quiet, personal space? If you’re considering an alternative workspace, a garden office is your best option. Building an office in your own yard is one of the hottest trends for 2019 which will not only fulfil all your workplace expectations, but will also add a touch of luxury to your outdoor space.

Sustainable, Handmade Pieces

With sustainability being a hot topic right now, items made by hand using durable materials like jute, rice paper and clay are claimed to be must-have accessories in 2019. Think natural jute rugs, chic wall hangings and elegant matte clay vases.

Metals

According to interior design specialists, the hype of using metal to complement your interior décor isn’t gone yet! The trend is predicted to continue in 2019, with copper, gold and silver taking the lead. But forget metal accessories – if you wish to give your place a touch of character, go bold and adopt metal for baths, chairs and tables.

Animal Prints

Animal prints have gone wild and are now not only dominating the fashion sphere, but also the interiors. Zebra planters, leopard cushions, a leather sofa – as dictated by top fashion gurus, embracing animal prints both in your everyday fashion look as well as your home décor is a must.

​Classy Taps

Like a piece of jewellery, taps add the finishing touch to a bathroom or kitchen. And with luxury metals being on a raise, why stick to chrome when you can have a gorgeous gold finish? In 2019 you can’t go wrong with a factory-inspired, edgy copper tap that will add a sophisticated twist to any contemporary kitchen design.
