Terracotta tones 

In 2018, warm, rich colours like terracotta will feature strongly across interior design and styling. The earthy tones work hand in hand with soft textures such as wool, rattan and velvet. Within this colour palette, styling will follow an eclectic, bohemian theme with the use of pattern, fringing and tassels.

Organic textures  

Raw, natural materials such as stone, timber, concrete and aged metals will continue to dominate interior trends in 2018, with a large shift towards soft, organic colour palettes. This styling theme focuses on texture, rather than colour, to create a layered and beautiful room.

Sustainable materials 

Sustainable building design is all about selecting materials that do not negatively impact on the natural environment or human health. More than ever, designers, builders and home renovators are beginning to make informed decisions regarding materials that will impact the environment, and this trend will continue in 2018.
