It's all fine and well to see some of the international trends that are making an appearance, but for the average South African, we are driven by what's in the stores and what's available locally. We popped into a few local home decor stores to find out the trends for Spring | Summer 2017.

There are a couple of trends that are making the rounds this year; from muted shades of pink and blue, to Moroccan-inspired patterns and colours.

This Spring and Summer you can be inspired by a muted, natural colour palette, highlighted with soft hues of blush pink and a few strokes of palest blue. These soft colours bring out the best of your living spaces and complement a neutral palette of grey, white or cream.

If it's time to refresh your home with paint, pop into your local Prominent Paints store and let them mix up a batch of blush pink for walls or trim. This subtle colour is perfect for accent or features walls, or for creating a stand-out feature.

While you may think that pink is very feminine, blush pink is not a bold, brash or girly shade of pink, it's a more delicate hue of pink - a hint of pink that is almost neutral. Think back to the Patone colour combination for 2016, which consisted of Rose Quartz and Serenity. These colours are now making their appearance in home decor and accessories for the season.
