Keep up with the latest interior design trends with David Wilson Homes


David Wilson Homes has teamed up with one of its top interior designers to show homeowners what the current top trends in interior design are and how they can get the look in their own home. Interior Design Richard Ornelas from Claude Hooper has given his top trend tips for this season.


There are some fantastic new interior design trends coming to light that can help completely transform your home. Richard said: “Interior design is a great way to do something completely different in your home and really utilise the space you have.


“Our current trends differ a lot from the bold and bright colours used in summer as are much more calming and comforting. We’re also seeing deeper and richer colours come into fashion this season as well as metallics, marble and gold.


“We’ve come up with our top trends for the season that you can easily pick up and do from home.” Here are the five top trends to keep your home fresh and fashionable this season:


Colour Forest green and various hues of dark green are very in style this new season whether it’s for soft furnishings, wallpaper or decorations. It’s a calming colour and when used with fur throws, textured cushions and thoughtful lighting it can create a warm and cosy feel when coming in from the bitter cold. Colour is extremely important when looking to redesign your home, if you’re looking to change your look with the trends remember to keep the base of your room in neutral tones and bring in pops of


Materials Marble and concrete has been a lasting trend through summer and is still very in demand coming into winter. It has been known to be used to accessorise your home but now marble effect is coming into fashion in full force. A huge trend for


this season is using marble effect wallpaper or furniture alongside warm copper shades to achieve a classy and stylish look in your home.


Lighting


colour with cushions, accessories and artwork and even a painted feature wall. Richard said: “My advice for people who don’t like green is maybe consider another jewel colour like teal, mulberry or gold…all of these colours are great for this time of year and very on trend, they create a rich and opulent feel which is great for the dark evenings ahead.”


Accessories


Accessorising your home is always a great way to transform each room, and this seasons trends include metallics, a touch of gold, copper and silver all mixed together or used alone can add some depth to your design. Marble and concrete are very on trend with tactile materials adding texture to your space. A cosy throw to your sofa mixed with an eclectic mix of patterned cushions can create a homely feel while also looking


very stylish. Remember your home is a reflection of you so take some time out and spend an afternoon filling a collection of frames with photos of friends and family and create a collection on a spare wall…it will make you smile every time you pass it.


Designs and patterns


A current trend for designs and patterns is keeping things simple and using block colours throughout your home to keep a certain theme. This can be done through decorations and accessories such as cushions and throws or by having feature walls in your home.


David Wilson Homes recognises that your home is all about expressing yourself so why not choose bold patterns and designs and theme certain rooms around your interests and hobbies?

With darker nights, it’s a good idea to think about your lighting. Stunning floor lamps with large shades can help bring your living room to life while chandeliers are still very much in style for adding a bit of glamour to your home. A top tip is to use mirrors in your home to reflect the light and invest in feature lights or create ambience with candles. Great lighting can help to change any room.

Demand from home buyers outstripping supply - Now’s the time to sell...


says Allen & Harris


If you want to sell your home in 2017, now is the time to get your property on the market according to local estate agency Allen & Harris. As part of its national network Sequence, Allen & Harris has recorded 12 buyers for each new property coming onto the market since the start of the year* and, with so many motivated buyers in the market, is advising customers to take advantage of the heightened competition for properties: “Now is a prime time to sell your property as high demand continues to outweigh supply,” says Matthew Barrett, Area Director at Allen & Harris. “Te new year is typically a time when people start making plans for the future, and we have seen an influx of people registering their interest in a new home, vying for properties to buy. Indeed, our data suggests we have 8% more registered buyers than last year. Sellers should make the most of this active market and look to instruct an agent who can place their property in front of the most potential buyers and reach the best price.” If you have a property to sell and would like to arrange a free market appraisal on your home, contact your local Allen & Harris branch.
