Personalized pieces, mixed up patterns and natural inspiration; just a few of the 2012 trends that have reappeared for new year, and are set to last. But how do you get the look in your home? Inspired by the recent trend report by babble, these tips reveal all:
Bright accessories on beds and sofas
Make your own printed cushions to scatter wherever you fancy. Check out this tutorial from My Attic to find out how. Don’t worry about clashing colours or patterns – it just adds to the individuality of the look.
Dress up a boring wall
Use stencils to add some fun to a plain wall. Stars, animals, food – whatever you fancy, do it!
Make everything count
You may think there’s only so much you can do to make your home personal to you, but have you considered creating an even more individual look with your own choice of door handles? There’s a wider range out there than you may think; check out retailers like this one here for ideas.
Get painting
Got a shabby old chair or table? Make it ombre! Be inspired by the image here. Go for the brightest shades you dare to use!
