DESIGN TRENDS – OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW Home decor trends are constantly changing. If you want to keep up with the trends as you renovate or redecorate your home this year, here are some that are on the way out and what’s coming instead.

• Accent walls - where bold colours, patterns or textures were often featured on one wall in a room, they’re now being spread across the entire room. • Distressed wood - the rustic look of unfinished wood or distressed wood is on the way out making room for more polished finishes that create a more sophisticated, yet still rustic vibe. • Meticulous design - rooms that are very obviously styled in a minimalistic manner are slowly transitioning into rooms that are a little more cluttered and curated to showcase the homeowner’s personality.

• All white kitchens or bathrooms - while white does make a space look brighter and larger, the new trend is bringing in colour on cabinets, walls and accessories. • Open shelving - despite being a great way to showcase antique cookware and beautiful dishware, the maintenance of keeping everything organized and dust-free is causing designers to turn to enclosed cabinets with glass doors instead.
