Which Pantone colour of the year do you prefer?
Comments (2)The pinky / lilac shade of Radiant Orchid is a tricky colour to work with, I think the key is to use it in moderation, perhaps with a lamp like this? https://www.houzz.com/photos/19hr-contemporary-home-office-phvw-vp~158909...See MoreMarsala, Pantone colour of the year ?
Comments (1)I have to say, it's not my favourite colour for an interior but I quite like it in small details and accents!...See MoreWhat do you think I should do about this old dresser?
Comments (25)wow stellahome, what a grand house and entrance! I'm intrigued! Do you have many original features left in the house? servant bells maybe? :) Post some pictures for us! I am very familiar with lassco, in fact I currently live 5 mins away from there, and pop in often, they have many wonderful items which really enhance an old house. Took a couple of more pictures today of the dresser, as even though it looks very worn, look at the dovetail joint details! They certainly don't make them like this anymore (unless you pay a hefty price for it!)...See MoreWhat do you think homes of the future will look like?
Comments (5)I suspect one trend will be customisation. And that'll happen on the entire scale between "basic habitation" and "luxury home", as well as between "small piece of furniture" and "complex building structure". It'll be used to drive developers' and builders' costs down but also to enable more design features for specifiers at no extra cost. On-demand fabrication (CNC cutting, 3D printing, offsite prefabrication) is already a common thing for higher-end builds where site access constraints or specification details restrict what's possible to make on site. "Prefab lofts" that are just craned up and put into place are only one such example; 3D printed concrete or bricklaying robots are going to enable on-site fast custom construction as well. The price point for these projects is coming down though, so we'll see more projects like the "wiki house" on entry level as well. And not just for self-builders. The potential impact of this on large-scale housebuilding is tremendous; right now, in the U.K., to meet their price point, Developers build 50 identical shoebox houses, while with cheaper customisation they may built 50 foundation slabs with utility connections preinstalled and let customers choose the "actual house" off plan from modular catalogue design. This will create an interesting challenge for planners ... approve a development where it's not entirely predetermined how the houses will look when built... That - customised one-off manufacturing becoming cheaper - will also move applicability towards smaller items. Ultimately, the "next IKEA" might be a (work)shop where your flatpack furniture is made-while-you-wait; browse the display select the style give them a picture of the room taking your new kitchen for the dimensions, the software will give you a 3D VR experience how it'll look&feel. When you know what you want the CNC machine will make the cabinetry to size, right there. The demand for the interior finishes/furniture side of customised manufacturing is in part also going to be driven by housing policy and the need for affordable accommodation; the London Mayor's "naked homes" initiative is a start here, and if it takes off we will see companies addressing the demand for finishing/furnishing such "built but not finished" apartments....See MoreJonathan
