Botanicals are a second key trend to keep an eye out for and houseplants take pride of place in every room, bringing life, colour and movement to each space. This large bird of paradise plant makes a beautifully graphic statement in the corner of the living room, the exotic orange flower heads picking up the rust tones of the sofa and armchair.Shop everything in the living room here
The colour: GreenWhy it’s a contender: It’s straight from natureThe green on the wall of this dining space is a subtle olive tone, but it has more colour than a neutral such as grey, so it makes an impact as a backdrop to the pared-back scheme. Try green in rooms that lead directly to the garden and have bifold or sliding doors or generous glazing to subtly blend the colours of indoor and out. Quieter shades like this are better for a whole wall, but upholstered furniture also looks good in foliage tints. Visit the Houzz Shop for dining room updates under £199
