Trend Alert. Architectural Digest Middle East’s editor in chief, Manuel Arnaut, forecasts Autumn/Winter 2016’s interior design trends:

1: Soft colours
Make me blush! As a continuation of what was seen during Milan’s Design Week, softer tones will continue to dominate interior design.

2: “Wow” effect
Sharp lines and angles in statement furniture, combine function with a powerful visual effect. It’s time to invest in hero pieces.

3: Tropical flair
Natural wood, marble, lush greenery…More and more brands are presenting furniture and accessories seemingly inspired by the Amazonian forest.

4: Classic fantastic

Vintage furniture is always a great investment. The Shell Chair by Hans J. Wegner, also known as the “smiling chair”, puts a smile on my face.

5: Go local

Supporting regional brands and craftsmanship is everyone’s responsibility. Moreover, the use of traditional designs in a sleeker environment can be extremely appealing.
