016 will redefine luxury with items that tell a story of authenticity and timelessness without being ostentatious. My designs will include geometric shapes in fabrics, artisan glass and precious metals. Indigo blue and gold are my colours of the year.
Monica Lenore, Interior Designer
While 2015 was the year copper became ‘the metal of the moment’, I predict that this will start to wane and brass and gold will take over as our chosen metallics. Golds and brass warm up a space and reflective surfaces bounce light around a room and using a few well-chosen pieces as accents create a glamorous and affluent look no matter what your individual style. Consider bringing in a few gold metal trays, brushed gold hardware or a contemporary brass light fitting.

I think that the trend for unique artisanal items will continue to go from strength to strength, with people wanting well crafted and timeless pieces in their homes at the same time as supporting independent makers.

2015 was all about copper and while we’ll retain our love of metallics in 2016, it’s likely our affections will switch to the timeless tones of brass and gold. Whatever your preference, a metallic purchase will always add a touch of interest to your home. Go for it!
