An interiors expert has revealed the biggest trends set to sweep the design world in 2019 - and it's finally the end of the road for rose gold shades.
Cindy Fuller, founder of Designs Direct, has revealed that mixing metals like brass and gold will likely take over homes in the coming year, as they look great with rough timber and brick.
Other trends include the rise of large floral patterns on walls, fabrics and even ceilings.
Unsurprisingly, shades of pink including blush and millennial are here to stay thanks to their Instagram-friendly nature.
Here, Femail runs through some of Cindy's predictions for home design trends in the coming year. . .
Mixing metals
Rose gold has been everywhere for the past few years, but the copper shade's reign at the top is set to come to an end in 2019.
In its place, a passion for mixing metals like brass, gold and copper has surfaced.
The different shades give a warm feel to the home, and look great with rough timber or brick.
Home bars
These puppies have seen a huge resurgence in the last couple of years but will become ever more popular as they come into their own when friends and relatives visit.

No matter the shade, pink is one of the most Instagrammable colors and can make any photo look incredible.
It's no wonder then that blush pinks, millennial pinks and moody pinks have become the new 'neutral' for many homes.
The versatile color lends itself well to greens, navys and blacks and will be taking over plenty of rooms in the New Year.

Jewel tones - think deep emeralds, ameythst, and sapphires - are going to be huge in 2019.
Don't be afraid to use the dark shades around your home as they can make a real statement.
Soften the bold colors by using neutral furnishings.
Floral patterns

Cindy predicts that florals will prevail in the New Year and be used on walls, ceilings, fabrics and even floors.
'Larger floral patterns will also be huge, excuse the pun,' she added.
'If you feel that an entire wall of florals is OTT, try large floral stickers to make a statement.'
Velvet

In the last six months alone, internet searches for velvet have seen a 400 per cent rise - so this fabric is going to be huge next year.
Cindy added: 'I sometimes wonder if velvet was ever really out.
'It's a luxe fabric for beds, sofas, chairs and cushions.'
