We are sharing the most interesting with you. According to forecasts, in 20 years, 70% of humanity will live in cities, which means that the need for comfortable, functional, but small apartments will only grow. In such conditions, not only the fashion for colors, shapes and finishing materials changes, but also the lifestyle and household arrangement itself. Leading designers of the Swedish company IKEA told us where everything is heading. Interior design trends in 2016-2018 IKEA always tries to focus on the needs and desires of its customers. And modern city dwellers see their home as a place of rest, simplicity, restraint, environmental friendliness and traditions are important for them in the interior.

All this will help residents of a big city to relax and enjoy their home.
Trends that are going away But there are trends that are still on the list of popular ones today, but will soon fade into the background and be completely forgotten:
- Pink metals;
- Sharp edges;
- Industrial chic and loft;
- marble;

- Sisal and jute.
As the saying goes: “Fashion is fashion, but home should be warm, cozy and comfortable.”
A small house becomes a big one Speaking ofcoziness and comfort, IKEA designers never tire of reminding us of their new slogan: “Make yourself at home.” Small spaces, in which most people are destined to find themselves, should remain so only in the layout scheme. Small can be big — it’s not for nothing that there are now so many ways to organize space wisely.
"Liquid" house This is a real template break fromIKEA. It is not so important to eat strictly in the kitchen or work sitting at a desk. In a big city and a small home, the main thing is not strict rules, but positive emotions. IKEA encourages not to build barriers between family members, but to be together where and how it is convenient for you.
From the general to the particular Despite the fact that peoplelike to spend time with family, everyone sometimes wants privacy. If you try, even in a studio apartment you can allocate a separate corner for each family member, and this corner will be a separate, private zone. Then each of us will definitely feel at home in comfort.
Responsible home Don't forget aboutenvironmental friendliness and saving resources, it is necessary to take responsibility for the environment. But at the same time, it is important to remember that the house is a place where we relax and recharge with positive emotions. This means that it should take care of our health and comfort, and bring pleasure. Therefore, before buying a thing, it is worth thinking: will I be happy to own it?
Connecting with children IKEA always thinks about familieswith children and tries to offer products and interior design solutions that will help adults and children feel equally comfortable in the home. Every home should be designed so that parents and their children can cook, relax or do chores together. And so that it is fun, comfortable and safe.
The conversation about trends took place as part of a lecture,which was conducted by leading IKEA designers Sasha Burtsev and Karita Cohen on November 29 in the showroom of the Match Point multifunctional complex with apartments. The Swedish company became the creator of the interiors for the apartments in the Match Point multifunctional complex.
