Show Highlights<\/h2>\n

We were trendspotting this month at one of our favourite \u2018inspiration destinations\u2019 at the Interior Design Show. \u00a0This is where we set eyes on the trends and products that we\u2019ll be seeing down the road. <\/span><\/p>\n

This year, we expected lots of modern, contemporary design, and we got it, and over the coming months we\u2019ll be sharing what\u2019s new in high design, but also what\u2019s new in our very own Decor Studio. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing is clear, you can expect to see more of the natural materials people crave, rich hardwood, luxurious granite and marble, eco-friendly materials, and plenty of exciting textures that add visual interest to the home. <\/span><\/p>\n

From time to time, we\u2019ll also be sharing new designs that will get a reaction. Let us know what you think @opushomes!<\/span><\/p>\n

Lighting Trends<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

3D printed lighting in super-saturated tones that are dazzling. These lights come in striking colours, but are surprisingly matte in finish. What makes these shimmer is the actual pattern.

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Colours in Faucets & Fixtures<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unique colours and finishes in fixtures and faucets. How can you make a statement in an ensuite or powder room? One way is to experiment with brushed gold, matte black, and even punches of red and teal finish to an ordinary bathroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Geometric Designs<\/h4>\n

\"\"Geometric is big in 2018. \u00a0Here\u2019s an easy way to incorporate this look into your home, starting with your coffee table. Clear clutter and group books, fresh cut flowers and other objects together for a completely fresh look in the living room.

 <\/p>\n

Hardware Trends<\/h4>\n

\"\"Get creative with pulls. This is such an easy way to make your kitchen feel brand new. Adding fun pulls is an easy thing, and you can indulge in something you might not care for later, because changing it is easy (and inexpensive, too!)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rustic, Yet Polished<\/h4>\n

\"\"Just for fun. These pastel painted \u2018log\u2019 stools are very cool because they are a mashup of rustic and pretty. \u00a0The high gloss finish on them really makes the colours pop in an interesting way.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Colour of the Year<\/h4>\n

\"\"And finally! A colour we love. Red! Benjamin Moore\u2019s colour of the year for 2018 is a spicy red. \u00a0You can be on trend with a sofa adorned with cushions or a blanket in this lively colour.
