Bring Outside Inside
One of the great trends of interior design in 2016 is bringing the outdoors in, by creating beautiful indoor greenery additions, and integrating outdoor entertaining areas with indoor areas to create a more beautiful and natural living space for you and your family to enjoy. The eco trend is not going anywhere soon and we just can't get enough of these gorgeous ‘outside inside' decoration solutions that not only create a naturally beautiful environment inside, but also an environment that is healthier and more inviting to live in.
A great place to start on working on bringing the outdoors indoors is wherever the indoors meets the outdoors in your home, whether that be at the window, the door, the porch, balcony or the back door step. Framing that area with potted plants that are suited to both indoor and outdoor use allows them to be used as gorgeous indoor decorations or outdoor ornaments, or left in these intermediate area to begin to invite nature in. Creating more openness with larger windows or glass doors that invite more of the exterior views indoors to where you can enjoy them at any time and in any weather is another great way to bring the outdoors indoors.
Sustainable Living
Going along with the eco trend is the style of sustainable living which is not only helpful for the environment, but easy on the hip pocket and good for your family too. Sustainable living means finding ways to build and create your home to be more efficient when it comes to energy usage, water usage, gas usage, heat and insulation and building and decorating goods and materials. Governments, decorators and homeowners all love this trend as it really saves the environment and saves on money too.

Even architects and designers are following the eco trends by building homes and additions that draw more from nature and work with the natural rhythms of the local environment. Recycled, second hand and repurposed goods are also becoming more popular for home decoration and building, and can help create fascinatingly earthy and authentic interiors that are original and environmentally friendly.
Modern and Metallic
Juxta-positioned against the natural, earthy and unique decoration styles for 2016 is the trend in geometric patterns and metallic highlights and coloring that is captivating the imagination of every contemporary home decorator.
