Interior Design trends in Cheshire and the North West continue to develop and break down boundaries. From Manchester to Knutsford, Alderley Edge to Worsley, home owners have definitely become more adventurous, with a willingness to experiment and take risks, despite the credit crunch.

Since the Millenium, interior designers in the North West have seen a definite shift from the safety of cream and brown, and the limitations of minimalism to a more exciting and eclectic look. Bolder colours are more popular (vibrant lime green to vivid pinks), striking looks ( combining stripes and florals) are now commomplace, with an emphasis on eclectic and individual, rather than safe and repetitive.

Often clients are mixing bespoke with less expensive, designer brands for less popular makes, creating individuality in the home. Expensive trim is mixed with less expensive fabrics, designer fabric with less expensive wallpapers, but always adventurous and new.

The homes of Greater Manchester and Cheshire appear to be leading the way, moving away from the more traditional and classical looks!
