It was on our list last year and it still remains there. With graphic posters of tropical leaves to beautiful pattern adding plants.  They are not very expensive and come in all shapes and sizes. But this year, they are everywhere. We have them on our cushions, posters, wallpapers and pottery.

ULTRA VIOLET

The colour of Pantone for the year 2018, Ultra violet. Now it is not a very quick colour to be adapted to, but has a great value behind it. According to Pantone, “Ultra violet suggests the mysteries of the cosmos, the intrigue of what lies ahead, and the discoveries beyond where we are now. The vast and limitless night sky is symbolic of what is possible and continues to inspire the desire to pursue a world beyond our own.” Let’s just hope we see more of this in the coming days.

BRIGHT COLOURS

This is more of an European inspired trend than the American. As this year the Americans have chosen more of beige and other pale colours while Milan had a lot of bright colours to show. Looking at our Indian culture and colour preferences, we believe it’s a yes to the Italiani.

CEILING + FLOORING PATTERNS

This is a big trend coming up internationally as well. As more and more people are going for exotic designs on their flooring or interesting patterns on their ceilings. It may not be a colourful cement or on ceramic design, it can be a pattern in wood too. Just keep it interesting. However, something that still is bothersome is the wooden flooring lookalike tiles. Today when there is a huge range of wooden flooring available in the market, it just does not makes sense for the imitation. Specially when after a while the grooves get black with dirt and it shows.

BLACK + WHITE TRIBAL PRINTS

We all know tribal prints have been around for quite some time now. From upholstery to clothing, however, it remains strong. Infact both geometric and tribal patterns in black and white are very much in the trend. We have enough of them from the beautiful state of the north east. So it would be the right time to perhaps go to an emporium and get one. Or get an interesting geometric one online.

A good home is a reflection of the personality of it’s owner which many a times might not sync in with the trends. But a trend or two being incorporated in your home decor surely won’t do any harm.
