LIVE AND LET LIVE

Many people make the mistake of opting for a TV as a focal point in the living room. Others have begun to realize the advantage of unplugged rooms, places where the technology has been cast out. Fireplaces, for example, are a great way to add new tone to the family hub, and even a non-working one can take the central stage. Moreover, do not overlook the impact the lighting has. Pendants are used more and more as statement pieces to create a wow effect. Finally, muse on fluid geometric patterns for a nice finishing touch.
SPARKS AND SPLASHES
Now, turn to transforming all those dull corners into spectacles that spark attention. The best way to pull this off is by setting tall, perky pedestals. They are great décor pieces in their own right, and are used to display a sculpture, plant or DIY art. A few splashes of color can also make a difference and designers have embraced tones like rose quartz and serene blue. Furthermore, fabric wall art is one of the trends that are on a roll, and many designers also take inspiration from indigenous artists when adding thrilling spice to rooms.
FIT IN

Do not neglect the smallest room in your living space, a bathroom. For some instant facelift, put a statement mirror and bring some retro bling with fittings that have brass, gold, or metallic finishes. Next, muse on bidets. They have not caught up in the countries like United States, but there are many master baths that include these cool fixtures. Furthermore, we are witnessing some striking bathrooms with a distinctive, living space feeling. This is achieved by dealing with the clutter and by putting homey items like plush chairs or flower arrangements.
FUNCTION OVER FORM
New design trends have integrated quite a bit of functionality into bedrooms. So, bid farewell to those long hours of working in bed. If you still do not feel like leaving the coziness, introduce a nice wooden table by the bed. As for long hours of sleep, they will never be the same with new pillows specially designed to soothe your body. Passing from functionality to the looks, note that plain white sheets are not a thing anymore. According to the designers from Integriti Homes, lively patterns have come into play, and they are here to stay throughout 2016.
MISSING THE MATCH
Pastel ovens have long ruled the kitchen scenery, but then polished steel appliances appeared. Now, however, is the time for black stainless steel, a material which gives a modern edge to the ambience. Even if there is a white backdrop, adding some drama is always welcome. Moreover, bold choices like mismatched cabinets that have a contrasting color schemes are excellent for creating an eclectic vibe. A variety of opposing styles and materials really enables you to pull together a personalized, unique space.
A WIND OF CHANGE
With the festivities and celebrations behind us, it is time to make those positive changes that you were nurturing. As our living environment affects us in numerous ways, that is certainly a good place to start. This year is shaping up into something that could top the stylish 2015, and stunning design solutions are popping up. State-of-the-art kitchens and unplugged living rooms are just the latest bits of interior wisdom guiding us towards owning an awe-inspiring home in 2016.
