From bedrooms and bathrooms to shared living spaces, the year ahead brings hot new trends and interior design ideas for all. There’s lots of stylish concepts for you to get creative with and give your loft conversion a fresh and contemporary look. Here are 5 of the biggest design trends we think you should consider for 2015.

Banish the Beige

Neutral colours generally work in any living space, from cosy bathrooms to sprawling studios, and beige is one of those colour palettes which has been a favourite for years now - it’s safe, timeless and it works well as a base colour for exciting colour accents.

2015 is all about moving away from ‘safe’ and, if you’re feeling brave enough, embracing stronger, brighter colours that really make a statement.

Floral Influences

Floral designs and textiles are a growing trend, not only in interior design but also in the fashion industry - which generally indicates formidable staying power.

We’ve noticed some super-stylish floral print wallpapers hitting the shelves right now, which would work on the feature wall of any bedroom, office or shared living space. Or if textiles are your thing then maybe you’d prefer to dress your windows or theme your furnishings for a modern-vintage feel. Canvases and pressed flowers are also worth considering for a trendy piece of hanging art.

Lighter Coloured Woods

Light, fresh looking, honey-toned woods look to be on trend in 2015. Oak and cherry are both fantastic options here. So if you’re lucky enough to already have light coloured beams in your loft then don’t paint or darken them. Leave them on show for aesthetic appeal.

Sheer Window Dressing

Window blinds have been a contemporary favourite for quite a while now. Light, transparent and airy are all very much on trend in 2015. Sheer window dressing is a great way of creating mood without compromising light.

Top Brass

Brass is commonly avoided because it has a tendency to look gaudy. When done right, brass looks timeless, and it’s also a trend that has been gaining momentum over the past year. If you’re planning on refurbishing your converted bathroom for 2015 then brass might be for you.
