STYLE FILES DESIGN TIPS FOR A MODERN INTERIOR 4 LIGHTING TRENDS TO WATCH IN 2018 WARM UP TO WINTER FROM THE LIGHTING SUPERSTORE FROM TK MAXX The right lighting is essential to ensure you can get the most of your home and tie together your interior. See below the top trends that we expect to be big in 2018. The change in season calls for warmer interiors. Cosy up to Winter, with these three subtle and easily implemented styling tips! WITH MAYA GRIEVES WITH BELINDA THOMAS FROM JAMES LANE WITH CLARE WILLENBERG Soft Gold We love this subtle gold look that offers a matt finish and complements most interior shades and styles. Soft gold has great visual impact but isn’t too overwhelming making it great for even small spaces. Introduce soft gold lighting using pendants or a table lamp. Tactile Textures Wood pendants continue to be popular and hand-crafted beaded pendants are also increasing in appeal. To avoid a pendant that’s a dust collector, make sure the material is practical. Colour Lighting is a great way to introduce colour into your home. Soft pastel shades such as eggshell, pink and mint will continue to be popular as they offer a restrained yet stylish look. We also predict nude shades to be a popular deviation from traditional, neutral colour palettes. Layered Looks Put The Fab In Luxe Fabrics Cooler weather is all about rich fabrics and textures – think faux furs and sheepskin, velvets and chunky wools. Line your couch with blankets and swap your bedding for warmer textiles. Explore Your Dark Side Make your colour palette dark and moody for the cooler months – think rich, earthy tones like navy, coffee and black. Balance those darker shades with pops of white or soft neutrals. Bring The Outdoors In Bringing nature indoors is a great way to add warmth and freshness to any room. From a bunch of artificial flowers to fresh cut magnolia in a white vase. Look for floral prints and eclectic vases to layer your look. LED The energy efficient value of LED lighting is also becoming more widely recognised. What’s more, LED lighting designs are now extremely stylish and look fantastic. You can get LED lights in multiple colours, brightness and shapes – even LED chandeliers. Our trained team of lighting specialists offer free consultations to help you select the right lighting for your home. Visit us at Homeworld Helensvale to discuss your lighting goals.

Layering allows you to draw upon that minimalist trend and will tie together your overall look. Keep your palette simple and use art, cushions, rugs, throws, flowers and subtle décor items to layer points of interest within the space. Tactile Textures Adding texture to your home works both in the cool and warmer months. Look for natural fibres such as linen, timber and wool and surfaces such as polished concrete and marble.
