First Blog of 2021!

Hello Readers of AbFab

Firstly, we would like to say happy new year! The ab fab team are back at work, although we may be working from home and our showroom can’t be open. We are still able to assist our lovely customers via online zoom paint, wallpaper, and fabric consultations. As we enter into the new year we have seen a drastic change in interior styles and client’s needs. We thought we would share our interior predictions with you all, we’re sure you will be as fascinated as us and would like to bring some of these design aspects into your own home.

Quirky Powder Rooms

During the first lockdown of 2020 we assisted multiple clients with finding the perfect wallpaper to spruce up their downstairs loo, or as we like to call it the powder room. This space is such a fantastic place to bring in fun quirky wallpaper, because after all when we are able to have guests again, they always remember the loo they go to! We have created gorgeous powder rooms with Cole and Son wallpaper, and matching blinds in a modern build, as well as a gorgeous William Morris Pure wallpaper in a traditional 16th century home which gave the space a completely different look but still complemented its traditional features, both clients are still besotted with the spaces created! If you’re thinking of sprucing up your downstairs loo why not add a funky wallpaper, check out our Instagram for more inspiration.

Outside/Inside Living

Yes, its true bringing the outside in has been a huge trend over the last few years, but this year we have seen a huge increase in making the most of outside, maybe it’s the because of our national lockdowns but people have cherished being outside! This is a trend that is definitely going to follow us in to 2021 Whether it’s a cosy seating area under a pagoda with chimineas and fire pits, or an outside kitchen more and more people are taking pleasure in being their gardens!

Multifunctional Space

2020 has caused the majority of our population to work from home, thus finding ways of creating at home offices or work spaces. Over the past 6 months we have been lucky enough to design office spaces for a lot of our clients, sometimes its by adding a desk to a spare bedroom, or completely redesigning a room with new bespoke shelfing units creating the perfect at-home work space.

For some of us at home offices will be part of our homes for the forceable future, consequently making it a high trend for 2021, if you’re looking for a bit of at home office inspiration check out our Instagram page @abfabdesignerinteriors

Light, Clean Spaces

We believe that in 2021 people will be making the most of lighting, Having a lighter rooms with good feng shui and floaty soft fabrics creating a relaxing inspiring space to play, relax and now due to Covid 19 work. We have seen an increase in people buying light toned fabrics a huge trend is the paints that lighten up rooms, but still work with warm Hygge lighting, for example Portland Stone by Little Green.

Thank you to all of our customers that have supported us during the past year, we are looking forward to the projects that 2021 has to offer.
