Spring statements Local interior designer Neeshay Nouman from The Niche Corner (@thenichecornertnc) shares seven trends on her radar and where to shop for them locally

Wall Lamp Dog Head, Dhs527 Chattels & More

Statement lighting is in. The trick to getting this right is to view light fixtures as art pieces. Use large, minimalistic chandeliers, or add an oversized sculptural ceiling light to act as an art piece without taking up floor space. My preferred places to shop are Luxxe Lighting (luxxelighting. com) and you may find some real gems at Dragon Mart (dragonmart.ae) 26 | blivinguae.com

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR SPACE WITH MIXED-PURPOSE ROOMS. 2022 IS SEEING US MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY INCH IN OUR HOMES. SINCE THE PANDEMIC, DESIGNERS ARE ENSURING THAT THE GUEST ROOM HAS PRACTICAL USES YEAR-ROUND. I SUGGEST INCORPORATING A STUDY SPACE INTO THE ROOM BY SWITCHING THE DOUBLE BED FOR A SOFA BED, SO THERE’S MORE ROOM FOR A DESK.

3 Terry Marble Side Table, GBP1,390 (approx Dhs6,930) Luxdeco

We’re seeing an emphasis on natural textures: think marble, travertine, terrazzo, limestone. Not only do they add comfort, but they also ooze glam. Find them at The Bowery Company (thebowerycompany. com) and Urban Nest (urbannest.ae)
