TOP 5 INTERIOR DESIGN TREND PREDICTIONS 2019
Interior Design Trend Prediction 1 - Tactile Textures
Can we include pets in this interior trend?! The home and dog belonging to Jane Rockett. As featured in Extraordinary Interiors. Publisher Ryland Peters & Small.
In a recent article for Dezeen, creative talent (and one of our named influencers to follow in 2019), Michelle Ogundehin sites textures as a trend that we will see more of in 2019.
Michelle states "In this acutely digital age, as physical, sensory beings we have a primal need to surround ourselves with surfaces that thrill our fingertips or tempt our toes. Tactile stimulation, whether being hugged or stroking a pet, triggers oxytocin, the love hormone. It also lowers cortisol levels, reducing anxiety and stress. It is the language of compassion, helping us bond and connect with others." Read the full article here.
A trend then based on connection and feeling, incorporating pieces such as rattan ceiling lights, woolly deep pile rugs, textured vases, handmade Tamegroute pottery will tantalise the senses.

Interior Design Trend Prediction 2 - Shells and Pearls
Mother Of Pearl Monochrome Console Table £1,600.00
We recently visited the home of Instagram Influencer, Lorna Luxe (keep an eye out for our blog on this, releasing in February). Well-known in the fashion sphere, Lorna predicted that in 2019 we will see a rise in the popularity of shells and pearls as its been recently been appearing on catwalks too. This may be something to do with David Attenborough and the popularity of Blue Planet, so expect to see more of shell-shaped furniture and accessories in the home and lots of fish scale tiles in the bathroom and kitchen.

Interior Design Trend Prediction 3 - Eco Home
Rockett St George Products Featured: Set Of 4 Animal Charm Glass Drinking Straws - Tiger, Elephant, Ostrich & Snake £36.00 | Set Of 3 Recycled Glass Nude Tinted Assorted Vases £24.00
Our fabulous co-founder, Jane Rockett, predicts that in 2019 we will be seeing more and more products made from recycled materials given new life. In fact, as we head into spring we will even be stocking new lights made from recovered paper waste that Jane discovered in Morocco a few years back.
The idea of giving old things new life will extend in all areas of life, not just interiors. But if you can, try and be more resourceful with the things you buy and use this year. Whether that's cutting down on single-use plastic, re-upholstering an old unloved cabinet with wallpaper to give it a new lease of life or simply switching to glass drinking straws. Even the smallest change will make a difference and guarantee that you are ahead of the curve in 2019 too. A win-win in our opinion!

Interior Design Trend Prediction 4 - Brown Furniture
The home of Shelley Carline. As featured in 'Extraordinary Interiors' By Jane Rockett and Lucy St George.
Journalist, Kate Watson-Smyth of Mad About The House, predicted in her latest blog post that Brown Furniture will be making a comeback this year.
Expanding on the return of 1970's style interior design, brown wood chest of drawers, coffee tables, dining tables, side tables (the list could go on), will be a theme that we will see creeping into our Instagram feeds.
Kate has listed 10 Reasons Why You Need To Include Brown Furniture In her Home, which we have linked to here. But, she rather aptly sums up why this is such a fabulous trend: "Your home should tell your story. A piece of furniture that has been passed down to you will do that. But even if it belonged to someone else’s Granny rather than yours, it will still have a story to tell through the wearing of the wood, the dents and the scratches. It just has more character and who doesn’t want that in their home?".

Interior Design Trend Prediction 5 - Clay Colours
Set Of 4 Rustic Oxidised Metal Bowls £18.00 | Rockett St George Exclusive Paint Collection - Cloisters From: £2.50 | Capri Black & Natural Rattan Chair £215.00
Earthy clay colours were a big colour trend in 2018 and we think that this year this colour trend will develop and evolve into more earthy pink and pastel tones like in the bedroom image above. A great colour for creating a calm and relaxing environment in the home, make sure you keep an eye out for our colour trend blog that will be released later next week!

70's style interiors are having a comeback in 2019.
The blogger and influencer, Kimberly Duran of Swoon-worthy Blog writes in her recent trend blog: "I’m seeing a lot of rounded sofas and plenty of fringing on everything from sofas to lampshades to mirrors and more – huge news if you want to get into the 70s vibe ahead of the curve."

Interior Design Trend Prediction 8 - Vertical Gardens

It cannot be understated how much life and interest house plants and flowers bring to the home. Not only do gorgeous greens and bright blooms add vibrant colour to the home, but they also incorporate texture (another trend for 2019) and, most importantly happiness. What's not to love?!
Up +287% on Pinterest, one such trend that will see you incorporating more plants into the home is vertical gardens. A great way to blend your home interiors with the outdoors, there are so many different vertical garden ideas that you could incorporate your home. If you're a serial plant killer (like us) then a good faux vertical garden is for you. Another alternative is to attach panels to the wall with lots of plant pots attached so that you can them with your favourite potted plants.

Follow The Beat Of Your Own Drum
Okay, so this isn't exactly a trend. But the fact of the matter is that we should take inspiration from trends, not follow it mindlessly.

After all, you're the one who has to actually live in your home. So if you take one thing from this blog let it be to surround yourself with the things you love. We promise that if you do this, your home will stand out from the rest.
