Space saving ideas will be implemented when designing furniture for small spaces to keep the interior bright and interesting. According to myinteriorideas.co.uk, the use of multi-function furniture to increase storage, e.g. a bed with under drawers or a system that can be lifted up when not in use, can be great ideas for a small spaced bedroom. Intelligent solutions like using Acrylic furniture and chairs will also help create an illusion of space.

 Addition of Strategic Pop of Colours Still Expected to trend in 2016

The old idea of making bold statements with bright colours is now obsolete as 2016 opens doors for ‘strategic addition of bright colours to the interior’. Strategic addition of colours allows the base pallet to remain neutral with the addition of a few carefully selected colours’ accessories, curtains trims or furniture pieces here and there.

Use neutral colours as the base and warm colours to highlight the focal points. Light coloured walls can be complemented with dark coloured furniture or curtains. You can also keep the base in neutral colour through out the room and then break the monotony of neutral colours with colourful vases or any other accessory.
