WHETHER you are going for impact or wanting to make small, subtle changes to your home, there are so many design options which can give your space a new feel.

DIY and interior design blogger, Chloe Spillett, winner of the regional Styled By Me competition, has teamed up with Anglian Home Improvements to celebrate the nation's passion for home improvements and on-trend decor.

A much-loved stylist, with an eye for detail and strong colour schemes, these are Chloe's top predictions for what will be hot for your home this year.

Now, where are those paintbrushes?

Bold, earthy tones

"Deep petrol blues, sassy saffrons, emerald greens and rich rusts add sophistication to a home. This can be achieved by adding accessories including soft furnishings such as cushions, pictures and paintings, or smaller items like vases or candle holders.

"Grey neutrals have dominated interior schemes for a few years now, but has grey had its day? I think olive grey could be a winning alternative."

Echo:

Bring the outside in this year

Statement staircase

"Forget feature walls and floors, you only get one chance to make a lasting first impression so what better way to showcase your home than with a stunning staircase?

"Step away from neutrals and reach for those bold earthy shades. Paint your spindles and risers and let your stairs speak for themselves."

Head-turning Terrazzo

"I absolutely love this retro trend and couldn’t be happier to see it making a comeback.

"Marble has been popular throughout 2017, but I predict Terrazzo to be a serious rival in 2018. Terrazzo is a mixture of polished cement and marble, or granite chippings, which is polished beautifully to give a stunning shiny, smooth finish.

Echo:

Terrazzo originated in 16th century Italy

"It’s so versatile with a range of colours and patterns and can be used as flooring, on walls, or in kitchens as worktops.

"Perfect in maximalist and minimalist schemes alike."

Raw and natural materials

"Okay, so not exactly hot off the press but this trend is here to stay and with good reason.

"2017 saw a wave of interiors adorned with concrete pots and planters, untreated plywood, OSB (a personal favourite) and corrugated metals, and I for one still can’t get enough.

"It’s great news for those among us who are working on a tight budget because these materials are easy to source and extremely affordable. They can easily be incorporated in the home - whether it’s updating the external façade, new flooring or incorporating it in small finishing touches. There are many ways to make it work for any home or budget.

"For an updated twist I love to mix up textures and styles, so I’d love to see some opulent velvet soft furnishings thrown into the mix."
