Textures

From natural inspired to rich synthetics, texture adds luxury, warmth and opulence in 2017. A hot fashion trend right now, velvet is expected to make a big splash in interior design this year.

Experts predict marble to become an increasingly popular material for countertops, flooring and tabletops, as well as in everyday household items like serving platters or vases.

Boutique Hotel Suite Inspirations

There are few things in life that feel quite as indulgent as staying at a luxe boutique hotel. 2017 is about recreating the same luxurious vibe in your own home. In the bedroom a headboard with all the classic qualities is a must: tufted, wingback shapes, in  neutral or cream upholstery provide a neutral background.  Traditional bedside tables and an armoire in a deep rich wood finish accompany a bed outfitted in the best crips luxe white linens. In the ensuite bathroom, well-heeled luxury home shoppers are looking for a bathroom that resembles the spa at their favourite Four Seasons. Clean whites in glossy finishes, and touches of earth toned and stone paired with glimmering glass give this sophisticated luxury spa look. A separate steam shower and an extra-large soaker tub are a must.

Bold Accents and Muted Neutrals

Pantone has pronounced Greenery the colour of the year: “Greenery is nature’s neutral. The more submerged people are in modern life, the greater their innate craving to immerse themselves in the physical beauty and inherent unity of the natural world”. Green is strong again. From lime green to emerald, the hue works throughout the home—whether it’s as a wall color or a room-filling rug. If you’re not too keen on the idea of using green in large doses, Add sophisticated emerald glasses to your regular white plates and suddenly you’ve got that up-to-the minute look. Does the thought of bold colours anywhere in your home make you feel a tinge of anxiety? An array of neutrals remain popular in the year ahead. Whites, pale grays, camel, blush pink and particularly beige are very much on-trend in 2017.

Mixed Finishes

Mixing metals isn’t new, but people are being more creative than ever with their combinations. Think brass and chrome, silver and polished nickel, antique brass and oil-rubbed bronze. The resurgence of mixed metals signals the popularity of both industrial and minimalist design, and people’s unabashed mixing of the two. It’s the unexpected contradiction of the two finishes that brings synergy to these living, breathing spaces. Brass, chrome, and black lacquer can all look great in the same space if done correctly. Or try blending different finishes of the same material, such as matte gold and metallic gold. This works well in kitchens with faucets, cabinetry, hardware, shelving.  2017 promises marble and brass’ continues domination in both kitchens and baths. This combination of natural and clean, like white marble adds a little bit glamor with the use of metallics.Visionary in our thinking, SkyHomes is always looking towards the future.
