• While it seems like just yesterday we were
celebrating the New Year, trend forecasters
and designers are already thinking well into
2017
• If you’re renovating or building a new home,
look out for the following trends to avoid, for
2017

3. Copper
• Copper and rose gold will be
out by 2017
• Copper has had a very short
run on the trend stage. Old,
vintage copper is another
thing. It’s a classic. But new
styles done in copper are
definitely out!
• However, the oversaturation
of cheap and shiny imitation
copper just ends up looking
like you’ve tried too hard,
and by doing so, you’ve
already missed the boat.

4. Marble
• With marble home wares all
the rage in the mass-
produced home wares
market; we can soon expect
a sharp decline in interest.
• Look forward to raw, earthy
textures like timber, clay
and wicker
• White marble is on its way
out when it come to doing a
whole bathroom in it.
However, we think marble
like Carrara will take awhile
to phase out.

5. Quote artworks
• After years of
popularity, consumers
will predictably move
away from quote
artworks.
• We have all seen the
‘Keep calm and …’
posters and they have
had their day, and they
are so cliché.

6. Fiddle leaf figs
• Once a feature of every
magazine spread, the
fiddle leaf fig will soon
be substituted for a new
statement indoor plant
• The staple indoor plant
needs to have an
update. Move over
fiddle leaf figs, the
olive tree is coming

7. Open plan living
• Generally, open-plan living
refers to the main living areas
of the home – i.e. the kitchen,
living room and dining room –
which are combined to create
an open, flowing layout with
few internal walls and fewer
traditional individual rooms in
favor of a communal living
space
• Defined living spaces are
returning to modern homes as
consumers seek more private
home layouts.
• The living, kitchen and dining
areas could be located around
central courtyard, breaking up
the large open space.”

8. Subway tiles
• Modern bathrooms and
kitchen commonly feature
the humble subway tile
due to the affordable
price point and its
versatile look. However,
the proliferation of this
look will see its popularity
decline.
• A beautiful option for a
kitchen splash back is a
“finger” or “kit-kat” tile.
Long and thin, they look
great laid in vertical or
horizontal rows
