Winter wools to summer shades - Interior design trends predicted for 2015

No sooner has the Turkey and tinsel finished thoughts turn to decorating with more people turning to DIY in January than at any other time of the year.

So, if you are looking to spruce up your home this year it may help to know what the latest trends are so your home can look super stylish. Leading housebuilder Miller Homes shares the thoughts of its designer Jeanette Holmes to help you get the most of your home in 2015.

“We’ll start and end the year with wool, tweeds and knits bringing a very cosy feel to our homes through accessories, fabrics and cushions,” said Jeanette. “And, whilst we’ll want to lighten the look for spring and summer the emphasis still very much remains on making our houses, homes that are practical and relaxing.”

Most of the major paint manufacturers are singing from the same hymn sheet and are predicting restful palettes for 2015 embracing diluted shades of blue, green, purple, mushroom and pink to give our homes a very restful hue.

“These colours lend themselves perfectly to simple and individual accessories that can bring real character and personality to our homes,” said Jeanette. ‘It’s all about choosing well and realising that this doesn’t have to cost the earth. And, for those who want a little more clout in their colours look out for the primary trend of red, blue and yellow that is set to gather pace during the year.”

Retro and Vintage products continue to be popular and up-cycling is a trend that I think we can all embrace. Perhaps that table isn’t as old as you first thought? Could you use it in a different room to greater effect? It’s all about working with what you have, buying appropriately and being individual.”

Jeanette Holmes is a leading interior designer based in Yorkshire whose clients include Miller Homes.

Miller Homes currently has 12 developments located across the region providing a range of properties from one bedroom apartments to five bedroom detached homes.
