10 Interior Design Trends for 2015



A new year means a fresh start, and what better way to kick off 2014 than by updating the look of your home. All it takes are a few simple changes to breathe life into familiar spaces. This year’s interior design trends are all about creating dramatic impact from simplicity, because the looks are simultaneously more bold and more accessible than ever before. We’ve carefully chosen 10 of the most prominent trends for you to try. Not cheesy, not overdone, these trends are sophisticated enough to stick around for a long time to come.

1. Saturated colors

Leave gray, beige and greige in the rearview mirror in favor of deeply-saturated hues like navy and plum. In fact, navy is considered a new neutral for its ability to blend with other colors and styles. If a darker shade on the wall seems too scary, start with a piece of furniture like a sofa or sectional as your focal point and work from there.

2. Rich fabrics

Leave behind simple cottons and linens and embrace the luxurious velvet, earthy suede and even textured corduroy. These fabrics are sophisticated yet durable, and can hold up to the darker color schemes popular for 2014.


3. Modern takes on classic patterns

Floral patterns are in and always will be—just not your grandma’s florals. House Beautiful suggests taking a bold approach, mixing patterns to modernize the overall look. Shop for funky takes on classic chintz and toile to keep things fresh.


4. High style at low prices

Haute design trends have never been more affordable, thanks to retail innovations including collaborations with famous designers. Stores like Target have upped the ante by providing affordable trends to the masses while they’re still “au courant”. Now, even non-designers are totally in the know.


5. Goodbye matchy-matchy

Armed with more availability and knowledge of design trends than ever before, 2014 consumers can take bigger risks. We all know that harmonious colors don’t have to match, and the same goes for pattern finishes. Don’t be afraid to bring different colors, textures and finishes into your space. You’ll be surprised at how far you can push the boundaries and still create a cohesive look

     
6. Think outside the style box

The confidence to try bold trends and mix finishes means a broader interpretation of design styles. There is no longer a need to place styles in fixed categories like “traditional”, “rustic”, “industrial” or “country.” Homes in 2014 will represent an eclectic array of stylistic influences. Picking items that speak to you individually will keep you from conforming to a rigid or overdone look.


7. Meaningful accessories

Less is more when it comes to decorative objects around the house. 2014 will leave behind kitschy, purposeless accessories. Choose objects, artwork and photos with personal significance to keep your decorative collection from getting out of hand.


8. Sculptural artwork

Branch out beyond framed prints and make your 2014 art collection stand out. Sculptural pieces add dimensionality to your walls. A range of materials and textures like felt, horn, ceramic and even macramé create unique focal points and conversation topics.


9. Natural elements

Natural materials are incorporated not just into wall art, but fabrics and furnishings, too. Cowhide is making a big appearance in the textile realm in a variety of colors and applications.


10. Light-toned wood

For many years, dark tones like mahogany and cherry dominated the wood furniture market. This year caramel and honey tones will take the spotlight. The softer look blends with any design style and keeps furnishings from feeling heavy or fussy.

Indian Interior Design – Characteristics


A country once known for its immense wealth and royalty, India still remains to be one of the most diverse cultures with a rich heritage and history. The role of Interior Design in the ecstasies of our royal kings and queens can be clearly seen in architecture marvels like Taj Mahal. Though times have changed and foreign interior design styles like Minimalist, Contemporary and Zen are gaining importance amidst Indian mindset, Indian interior design style remains distinct and clear stated. It is easy to decorate an Indian home provided one remembers the following five characteristics that define the Indian style of interior design.

1. ColorColor is the most distinct characteristic of Indian interior design as the country itself is a land characterized by different colors, languages and cultures. Rich, dark, vibrant colors and deep burnt shades against lighter backgrounds define the color pallet of Indian interior design. To narrow things down, one could draw inspiration from the colors of Indian spices like chilli, cinnamon and pepper.


2. PatternIf you have been to any Indian temple or just stared at a silk saree, you would know the prominence of patterns in Indian culture and art. Patterns are the second most characteristic element of Indian interior design. Patterns could be drawn on throw pillows, bed spreads, wall hangings, knotted rugs and any other upholstery that involves textiles. Paisley is the most popular pattern and Indian silk and cotton are the popular textiles of choice in Indian home décor.


3. DécorIndian interior design is also characterized by a good but not excessive amount of home décor items. Rather than using random decorative flower vases and modern artworks, use idols, statues, embroidered rugs and wall hangings that feature the good old gods, kings and other prominent figures of Indian mythology. Mirrors, oil lamps and other ornaments made of bronze, brass, copper and gilded gold also make up for good Indian home décor items.


4. FurnitureWood is the most widely used furniture material when it comes to Indian interior design and exotic wood like rosewood, teak and ebony are the most preferred types. In fact, Indian artists are noted for beautifully turning the imperfections of wood to give out a rustic appearance. Heavy wooden tables, bench-style sofas and carved wooden chairs are a few notable choices.


5. FloorIndian climate is relatively sunny and flooring plays a major role in keeping the home cooler. Granite, which is stain resistant, durable and less maintenance is the most preferred choice in Indian interior design. Marble which is also durable and attractive is preferred by many, although its lustrous surface could fade with time. Tiles is the most preferred flooring option in the affordable section, though they can crack easily.

Astonishing Dining Room Interior Design



In modern times the dining room is usually adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving, although in medieval times it was often on an entirely different floor level. Historically the dining room is furnished with a rather large dining table and a number of dining chairs; the most common shape is generally rectangular with two armed end chairs and an even number of un-armed side chairs along the long sides.


We at 3D Power don’t think it will come as a surprise if we tell you that few of these interior design ideas are 3d renders. However, most of the dining rooms that you will see in these pictures are real and just good if you are looking for dining room inspiration.

CREATING A SCENE: CAMERON DIAZ'S MANHATTAN APARTMENT



Diaz found a kindred spirit in Wearstler. “I blame my love of sparkly, shiny things on my Cuban roots,” says the Southern California–born actress, who points to the formative years she spent on the beach for her tomboyish ways. “But I also wanted a place that felt very homey, very tactile. Kelly is unparalleled when it comes to striking that mix.”

Living Room


In the living room of actress Cameron Diaz’s Manhattan apartment, which was designed by Kelly Wearstler, the swivel armchair by the window is by Milo Baughman, and the Murano-glass chandelier, cocktail table, and stools are vintage; the armchair is upholstered in a Clarence House fabric, and the wallcovering by de Gournay and rug by Mansour Modern are custom designs.

Dining Room


“The palette reflects Cameron herself—it’s innately sexy without being overly flashy,” says Wearstler, who considered Diaz more collaborator than client. “Cameron has excellent taste and understands how colors work together and why quality pieces make rooms special,” the designer adds. Indeed, there are few home cooks who would agree to the fearless combination of unsealed brass countertops and dramatic emerald-green cabinets in the kitchen.
The custom-made parchment-and-brass dining table is flanked by Vladimir Kagan armchairs covered in Groundworks linen by Kelly Wearstler, and the circa-1960s chandelier is Spanish; paintings by Fabrice Penaux hang on a wall of mirror tiles.

Kitchen


The kitchen may be her favorite daylight lair, but at dusk it’s the living room, when the space is at its most seductive and the custom rose-petal–color wallpaper and mirrored walls throw off the kind of light that makes everyone look like a movie star. “It’s a bit like living in a silk-lined jewelry box,” Diaz adds.
The kitchen’s backsplash, counters, and sink fittings are unlacquered brass, the brass-trimmed cabinetry is lacquered in a custom color, and the range is by Viking.

 Living Room


In fact, Wearstler loves fashion and jewelry references—she has recently revamped her clothing and accessories lines to include leather, denim, jewelry, and clutches—and makes sure they show up in every room. Light fixtures of mottled glass and hammered metal punctuate rooms with the élan of showstopping earrings. In the lavish bathroom, an artful grid of bronze knobs is strung across a stretch of storage like beads on a necklace.
A Pierre Chareau–designed lamp on a circa-1960 chest by Drexel in the living room; the fireplace screen is by Charles Edwads, and the painting is by Hunt Slonem.

Master Bedroom


Silk linens and a ruched skirt and headboard dress the bed in the master bedroom, where a snow-white chair upholstered in plush mohair recalls 1970s fashion. In the hallway, the onyx hand-troweled plaster wallcovering has the look of a wonderfully weathered leather bag. And like the finest couture, the rooms are luxe from the inside out. Drawers are lined in raw black silk, the back sides of doors are clad in hammered metal, and the interiors of closets are covered in custom wallpaper or in vivid paint.

Master Bath


For both women, completing the project was bittersweet. “I learn new things with every client, but Cameron taught me to be more sensitive to the hand of fabrics and textiles,” Wearstler says. “She was so involved in every step, every choice, that I’m delighted by how well the place represents her.”
The master bath is sheathed in glass tiles by Ann Sacks, the parchment-covered vanity and mirrors are custom made, and the sink and fittings are by Waterworks.

Guest Bedroom


For Diaz’s part, if the acting thing doesn’t work out, she could see herself indulging her design passion professionally. “I’m really going to miss those four-hour-long meetings with Kelly. I got to look at, touch, and talk about beautiful things,” she says.
The guest room features a custom-made brass four-poster and parchment-covered nightstands, a 1960 Austrian ceiling fixture, and a vintage marble garden stool; the painting is by Riccardo Prosperi, and the silk rug is by the Rug Company.
