Preet on interiorsI N T E R I O R SSUTTON COLDFIELD INTERIOR DESIGNER PREET ANAND, OF MOODINTERIORS, CHECKS OUT SOME FRESH INTERIOR IDEAS FOR 2020It’s a new year! I have always wondered at whichpoint is it socially acceptable to stop wishing thoseyou meet a “Happy New Year?” I will assume it is theend of the month, so for now wishing all our lovelyreaders a prosperous and wonderful year ahead.I am sure everyone is very much looking forward totidying away the decor of Christmas which has beenalmost taking over our spaces for the past month orso, and moving into the final months of winter withsome fresh new outlooks and ideas for 2020.Now, I know many of my clients will be sad to knowthat 2020 trend predictions see Grey on Grey makingan off-stage exit, in preparation for more warmertones and richer colour palettes. Of course, trendsare forever changing and if you really can’t afford orsimply don’t have the energy or time for an everchangingdesign trend each year or so, stick to eitherwhat you love or what is classic.Q: I have an old dark wood table which Ihad from marriage more than 25 years ago,and as it is both sentimental and such goodquality, I don’t want to remove it, but myroom just doesn’t work with it?A: This is a classic example of sentimental furnitureand modern living and, if I am honest, it can add alot of charm to a space. The mixing of old and newcan bring in an eclectic style or a nostalgic livedinlook to your space. It is all about balance, andensuring the piece of furniture you have is balancedwith other elements to contrast and compliment.For example, adding some more pieces in the sameperiod or style as your table, and spreading them outin a room which has been updated in a more modernstyle will allow a subtle flow and tie everything intogether.Q: The skirting and doors in my house arewhite, and have always been white. Is it okayto paint them a different colour?A: Painting the woodwork in your home the samecolour as the walls can give it a contemporary twist,with fewer colours breaking up the colours it cancreate a lovely streamlined look and help highlightother features of the room better. Another thoughtis to paint the woodwork a different colour entirelyfrom the wall, to create some drama. I would bemindful of all other textures and surfaces in the roomwhich will be adjacent to the woodwork, to ensure thecolours all complement each other well.Q: I have my artificial Christmas tree which Ineed to throw away, how can I make use of it?A: My first point of call would be to either reuseor donate; artificial trees unfortunately cannot berecycled due to them usually being made of mixedmaterials. However, I am sure you have consideredthese options already so perhaps get creative, chopup the tree and make a door wreath or small pottedplanters for next year’s festivities! Hanging smallerversions of the tree as decoration inside or evenoutside the house, will save you money on other decorand help the environment too!Send your questions on interiors toinfo@moodinteriors.net for your chanceto see your dilemma answered in nextmonth’s issue.SPONSORED BY MOOD INTERIORS0121 809 7333 - WWW.MOODINTERIORS.NETINFO@MOODINTERIORS.NET
