Every year, we host a Trend Forecast and ask a panel of international design experts to share their insights about what will be influencing the way we live over the next few years.

  Nothing is more satisfying than relaxing in a warm, inviting living area after a demanding day. To create the illusion of a more intimate setting, choose warm, rich colours like cerulean, rust, teal, and golden browns. Divide the room into smaller areas if your living room is vast. This is one of the easiest methods to make the space feel more intimate. The wall behind your fireplace could be painted a rich, vivid colour, or it could be painted a few tones darker than the other colours in the room. Another option would be to paint the woodwork surrounding the windows or the insides of the bookcases a vibrant colour . Think cozy and welcoming when selecting furniture for a cozy living area. Seek out cozy chairs with plush materials like velvet or chenille. Adding layers of rich, warm-coloured pillows and throws can also contribute to the cozy ambiance. To make your living area feel cozier and more welcoming, don't be afraid to incorporate unique elements like artwork or pictures o...
