If 2016 is the year you take the plunge with the best basement
conversions London has to
offer, you’re sure to be in with some serious times ahead in the
planning and construction phases. However, luckily we’re the ones to
handle all the hard work and you get to sit back and relax until your
new space is ready for you to inhabit. Whether you use our design
service or are a budding interior designer yourself, you’re sure to be
on the lookout already for the big design trends of next year. As
journalists and designers make their predictions, there are some trends
on the horizon we’ve fallen for already, and none more so than style
where ‘form follows fun’. The
Telegraph’s Luxury column has highlighted some of the interiors
crowd spearheading the way, with high-end designers such as ceramist
Jaime Hayon and eccentric surface designer Bethan Laura Wood among its
list of ones to watch for this trend. It’s the antidote to the sleek,
minimalist function that has for years been the sign of luxury, taking
the mantel from ostentatious grandeur of period properties in turn, but
that’s not the only reason we love it. With greater access to the
simple design form in the home, through its filtration down to the high
street, the only way to really stand out is to have something that
overflows with personality and humour. It’s something that simply
cannot be faked. Think bold pattern, bright design and luxurious,
artisanal crafted textures to achieve the look. For a safe introduction,
Tom Dixon’s latest range sees him eschew the functional forms and
classic metallic for smaller items with a sense of fun imbued by colour
and shape.
