Interior design trends to watch out for after New Year’s Eve

Natural wooden tones is one element of interior design trends for next year.

Interior design trends are always changing and even vary by which designer you talk to. At the close of every year, the next year's trends are announced, such as the new color of the year, hot furniture styles, accessory fads and more. This year was filled with floral prints, figures and deep blue colors, yet next year, interior decorators predict that 2016's designs will revolve around texture, natural materials and color. Here are ways to reinvent your home according to the latest design trends:

  • Texture: Decorating with textures is all about mixing and matching different types and items. Leather sofas with faux fur throws are predicted to make a comeback, along with metallic materials incorporated into coffee tables, chairs or shelves.
  • Natural materials: Unfinished or aged wooden dining room tables, end tables and bookshelves should dominate in 2016. A return to a minimalist look is desired through using natural furniture pieces as a way to return to a simpler time. Grainy woods also add an extra needed of desired texture, which provides a perfect melding between this and the last design trends. This is also about bringing the outdoors inside, through small and large plants and greenery placed throughout living rooms and bedrooms.
  • Colors: While there are many popular colors proposed for next year, this category is more about mixing and matching various patterns and colors for sofas, chairs and rugs. Solid-colored sofas pair nicely with a bold patterned arm chair or rug. These eye-catching color pairings give designers and homeowners the freedom to design with some of their favorite color combinations.
