2. Square tiles

Square tiles popping up on the market, perfect for kitchens and bathrooms. Colour combinations include greens and blues, reds, yellows, whites and greys. The uniformity in these tiles make them extremely versatile and economical too.

3. Slim shaker cabinetry

A trend that is starting to take over the country is slim cabinetry. We are seeing a slight comeback in shaker style kitchen and bathroom cabinets, but with more sophisticated finishes. The trend within this area of the market is to maintain or reduce clutter. As space in a home is at a premium we have seen innovative designers implementing more storage into their shaker style designs.

4. Wall murals and paper

Wall murals and paper are becoming a trend in the Australian market, especially in homes that have exposed brick or stone walls. The trend is to keep wall spaces free of clutter and to make the most space possible. Wall murals are a good way for designers to get creative with their designs and still maintain an artistic look.

5. Brick - shift to natural materials

Brick is a classic and natural material that is growing in popularity in the Australian market. Brick provides a clean, natural finish for both walls and flooring. In kitchens a brick feature wall can add an industrial feel to the décor. Brick works well with other masculine materials such as steel, stone and timber. Bricks are also perfect for fireplaces because they can handle high temperatures much better than other materials such as stone.
