[dropcap1]N[/dropcap1]ow that winter’s approaching, the temperature changes but your colour palette should too. As for texture, it’s always a good idea to bring in more soft-to-the-touch and interesting textures to warm up your home. Don’t know where to start? Here are the winter 2017 colours and textures to know about.

Shades of Grey

These might make you think of the biting cold outside, but grey is a beautiful neutral that makes your interior design a bit more sophisticated. Mix greys with midnight blue, another hot trend, for a bit of magical colour in your decor.

Cream With Character

If beige and cream feel boring to you, they’re getting a makeover this year. The key is to choose ones that have undertones in them, such as pale pink or brown, so that you add warmth to your interiors.

Forest Greens

Bringing a bit of nature into your home during winter is wonderful, especially if your jogs are put on hold because of the bad weather. Delicious greens like emeralds and other jewel tones are an elegant spin on the earthy tones we’ve loved for years, and can easily be combined with pastels when the weather gets warmer.

Butterfly Walls

You might think of butterflies in decor as being whimsical and childish, but they’re a symbol of optimism and happiness – perfect for boosting your mood during cold mornings. A great idea for bringing them into your home is with gorgeous wallpaper or designs to make them come alive.

Mismatched Patterns

Forget choosing cushion covers or duvets in uniform colors and patterns – mix them up with exciting items that bear mismatched patterns and colours. These become the statement pieces of your space and add brilliance to a minimalist design.

Cork

Cork is coming back into style in a big way. It’s a great material to create warmth in your home and bring eye-catching texture to your surroundings. It’s also sustainable, making your home stylish and planet-friendly.

Cerused Wood

Cerused finishes on wood are becoming trendy this year. They refer to the finish that brings out the grain of wood, creating a unique and different look. It’s great because you can bring it into your home in various ways, from cerused finishes on cabinets to tables and chairs.

Nailhead Designs

You’ve seen nailhead designs – that line of studs that create a border – on furniture, like chairs. But now it’s becoming trendy on a variety of different items, such as chests, lighting fixture bases and even just to create interesting patterns on items around the house. They’re a great upcycling idea to transform an old piece of furniture into something more vibrant.
