Home and Garden Design Trends for the Year 2011

Do you want a stylish look in and around your abode? If you are nodding your head right now, then check out this article and learn a few tips here. The following ideas will help you create a homier indoor and outdoor ambiance.

According to many interior decorators and designers, you do not have to equip your residence with too much fixtures in order to beautify it. On the contrary, you should place importance on the effects that every design concept brings. This is why home trends for 2011 suggest that you should go for minimalist, sustainable, and environmentally safe furnishings. For instance, provide the rooms in your house with furniture made from renewable materials. Aside from that, opt for healthy and eco-friendly paint products and wallpaper. Another hot style for this year is integration of timeless shades such as soft pink, lilac, and soothing greens (mint or tea green). You can incorporate these colours to your abode through accents such as chair cushions, a vase of flowers, or a window treatment.

As of 2011, several exterior design experts recommend minimalist looks for your outdoor, too, which borders on the idea of "personal oasis". This means that you should think about your family’s comfort and relaxation when integrating landscaping ideas. In order to incorporate these attributes, the first step you can take is to equip the area with low-maintenance plants. When it comes to choosing flower varieties, go for colourful blooms such as purple or pink coneflowers, yellow or red peonies, and lilac or rose Sea Thrifts. Then, put up lawn structures such a gazebo, pergola, or a deck and decorate it with billowy curtains.
