Trending now - Pattern in Interior Design
the Rediscovery of Patterns
Throughout the world the look of bare walls and clean surfaces had been accepted as the cutting edge of interior design. In recent years however, designers have rediscovered the practicality of pattern and texture.
Curtains Ad a Sense of Dramatic Flair
Curtains are another way of adding pattern and introducing more colour into a room. Strong bold curtains can help create two different looks. Either as a colour highlight in the room during the day when they are open, or a more dominant almost feature wall effect when drawn at night. For maximum effect use full length curtains to the floor, as stopping just below the sill makes the room look cut off and shortens the ceiling height.
The use of various curtain headers will create different looks and affect the amount of fabric required. Curtain tracks can be made to look invisible if made or painted in the wall colour or, by using chunky metal rods they can stand out and be part of the design. Options today are as wide as the mind can create, colours or materials for hardware, contemporary/traditional/transitional styles, etc.

2011 Interior Design Trends
Trending now - Pattern in Interior Design
the Rediscovery of Patterns

Wallpaper is Back
For many years, painted walls and ceilings have been the mainstay of interior design. The introduction of bold colours and feature walls was the first sign that people wanted more interest in their homes. The progression of this change has been the increased use of wall paper to add drama and impact. Big bold patterns of high contrasting colour or subtle use of tone on tone to create texture. Wallpapering only one wall is a also an option. A bold pattern behind the bed makes a great statement without taking over the whole room.
