Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Spring is here and so is the time for a new interior design.

I am ready for something completely new in my home! What are the hottest interior design trends right now?

Jane says:

It can be fun and exciting to completely reinvent your home. Some fabulous interior design ideas are taking off this year. Here are five top trends for you to consider.

1. The retro style with bold geometric patterns has enjoyed many phases of trendiness since its inception in the WWII era. Think bold colours combined with straight lines for an energetic retro design that is ideal for the upcoming summer season. This design can have white as its base on walls and floors for a new, trendy look that can be updated inexpensively when it is time for the next trend.

2.Sophisticated and rustic may not seem like terms that go together, but they are ideal for describing a new trend that is Earthy but not overly countrified. For example, envision reclaimed wood floors with shaker style furniture and oil rubbed brass fixtures. Consider it an upscale cottage style. A colour scheme of muted grey-blues and grey-greens looks great with this style.

3.Grey is the new beige. If you're looking for a neutral palette that can be updated and changed through use of fabrics and accessories, consider using a colour scheme of greys as your base rather than tired old browns. Brighten up this base with reds and yellows for the summer or tone it down with blues and greens for the winter. This is a great way to create a versatile design base that you can change as often as you like.

4.Going green with natural woods can create a gorgeous and earth friendly interior design. Use bamboo, wicker and rattan for your renovation, and create a modern atmosphere with clean lines and neutral colours or a tropical resort feel with comfy seating and bright accessories. These woods are renewable resources, so they are ideal for anyone looking for a new design for their home that is also environmentally friendly.

Five top interior designs trends

Richard Lawson, Barratt Homes sales director

The low maintenance benefits of a new home have been highlighted in a new survey from five star housebuilder Barratt Homes.

The survey reveals high levels of DIY disasters among the area's home owners, something the housebuilder says can be avoided if you buy a brand new home.

Barratt sales director Richard Lawson, said while many homeowners enjoy stamping their own personal style on their new houses, more ambitious DIY projects on older homes can prove disastrous.

He highlighted one of the many plus sides of moving into a new home is that you can still make it your own but without undertaking expensive, time-consuming and potentially dangerous renovations as you will be moving into a perfectly prepared home.

"People can still have the chance to choose their flooring, lighting or kitchen for example but have none of the hassle involved in fitting,'' he added.

In addition, the five star housebuilder also offers an exclusive five year warranty covering almost everything it fits as standard so owners can relax, with no unexpected repair bills to pay for up to five years.

He said that Barratt's five year warranty comes with 24 hour, 365 day a year emergency cover, so in the unlikely event that something does go wrong, buyers will have trained professionals to deal with it so that you don't have to face a DIY disaster.

The Barratt research, conducted by One Poll, exposed a range of DIY disasters from collapsed ceilings, flooded bathrooms and toxic spills, resulting in a list of personal injuries caused by drills, screwdrivers and chisels.

And recent research from Co-op Home Insurance reveals that a third of homeowners are injured while doing jobs around the home.
