10 hot home decorating trends straight from Paris

Trends to come

Maison&Objet is like the Paris Fashion Week for home decor. It's a massive interior trade show that presents the latest European designs in furnishings, fabrics, accessories, lighting and more. We scoured through eight exhibition halls to find the coolest new trends to look for in 2014 – and were pumped about what we found!

Which design trend do you like most?

Brass

Brass is making its appearance everywhere from utensils to bathroom fixtures, accessories and lighting. Look how brass cutlery and bathroom accessories create a posh look, instantly!

Mixed patterns

Lots of colour, texture and mixed patterns give this haute hippie look a touch of cool psychedelia.

Coral reef

Sea urchins and coral are being re-imagined in a variety of home accessories and light fixtures creating a modern and chic seaside-inspired look.

Mixed metals

No need to choose between your favourite metals. The upcoming season will have you enjoying an all-in-one mix of chrome, gold and brass accessories and furnishings.

Cut-glass

We all know that diamonds are a girl's best friend – that's why we love these jewel tone cut-glass bathroom accessories and glassware with sparkling facets.

Black and gold

This colour combination is all about masculine glamour and impact.

Soft and feminine

Delicate prints, soft textures, organic shapes and pastels are a great antidote to the masculine looks that are dominating the season.

Navy

Navy is the new black in 2014 with it taking over as the dominating colour in the home. As well, you'll be sure to see nautical influences abound.

New primitive

The new primitive approach in interiors is sexy and mysterious. With rustic colours, furs and dark leathers, there is definitely a Tom Ford on an African safari kind of feel.

Wire and string

Everyone is thinking linear and using wire and string to shape forms. In particular, it's making a big impact on lighting and seating.
