Create a bold and stylish look in your Melbourne home with chic lampshades

This year’s hottest interior trend in Melbourne is statement lampshades and lighting pieces. While down lights and concealed lighting has been all the rage for the past five years, a move towards bolder lighting features has been indicative of this season’s new look. Lampshades and lighting features are being used to enhance the look of a room and are the centerpiece of many on-trend designs. You will find bold and bright lighting in living areas, bedrooms and even kitchens. It’s a time when you can be as brave and creative as you want.

Simply changing an old light shade can completely transform a room. It’s important to find a lampshade that creates a balanced look. A good tip is to look for a lampshade that mirrors the width of the lamp base at its widest point. Once you’ve selected the right lampshade, you can begin to rejuvenate other areas of your home.

Wall art that makes a statement

In 2014 it’s all about stepping a little left of centre and creating a look that is a little outrageous. Whether it’s a geometrical pattern or a bold floral design, the sky is the limit with the art work. It’s all about choosing something you love and making it a feature of a room. The great thing about art is it is very versatile and can be moved room to room whenever you like.

Go chic with plush carpeting

Another flexible interior addition is plush carpeting. Again, you can use plush carpeting to make a bold statement and be a bit wild. The popular patterns that will be making an appearance in chic homes across Melbourne are tribal patterns, geometric shapes and neon colours. In 2014, pony skin is making it’s mark as a popular upholstery. Either incorporate it into a rug, or even use the material to cover chairs, couches, tables and even cushions. It’s important to take note that you don’t have to choose real pony skin. Try faux-friendly versions for a more ethical material that will make you feel better.

Feel exotic with tribal print

Add some excitement to a plain interior by adding a burst of tribal prints. While you are in good old Melbourne, you can create the feeling of being transported to a faraway exotic land, by simply adding some tribal patterned material.
