Say HELLO to our favorite trends of 2018! We’re challenging our readers to incorporate some of these style elements into current home designs.
Natural Elements
Warm tones, and natural textures will be the craze of 2018. This design element is all about inviting the outdoors in, while creating a cozy atmosphere. Fill your home with throws, wooden accents, natural plants, and open walls to allow natural light into living spaces.
Minimalist Bedrooms
Out with the overwhelming, over the top bedroom designs. This trend is all about focusing on the basic needs and functionality of a bedroom. Stick with simplistic, sleek, modern pieces with minimal furniture to create a relaxing, cool environment.
Velvet Furnishings
You betcha, this 90’s trend is here again! Velvet has been all over the runways and is continuing to be the ‘It’ fabric of 2018. This trend brings a glamorous vibe that we’re kind of into. If you are afraid to dive in and take the plunge into full on velvet, then try opting for a touch of velvet in a pillow, throw, or rug before purchasing that luxurious couch for formal living.
Brass Hardware
This glam design adds just the right amount of spunk into a room. With brass detailing, the room instantly feels more creative and ‘custom’. Try this design in a bathroom, laundry room or kitchen for a bright accent!
Floral Accents
This style pairs nicely with the idea of bringing the outdoors in. Floral designs are always a fun choice that instantly appeals to the eyes. For eccentric style, try a bright floral print and make the print the focal point. For subtle-elegance, choose a neutral print that will compliment any space.
Artisan Furnishings
Think handcrafted, personal touches, used in creative ways, such as wooden countertops, and unique wooden decorative pieces. This trend is all about integrating one-of-a-kind items with a modern twist.
Statement Sofas
Let the sofa do the talking! Be bold, be confident and step up your design game with a bright sofa. Allow the sofa to stand out from the remaining design by surrounding the sofa with simpler, but cohesive pieces.
Geometric Wallpaper
We’ve seen it in some of our favorite HGTV renovation shows and now its time to give it a shot in your home. These creative shapes are giving us all kinds of contemporary feels! Liven any space with accent wallpaper or give it a test run with a large piece of geometric wall décor.
Mixed Materials
This trend was made for those who tend to be a little more indecisive. We love the idea of mixing and matching a variety of metals, and textures. Whether the product has matte, brass, wood, or concrete finishes, try to incorporate them all!
From natural elements to geometric wallpaper, we hope you are excited, and inspired to implement one of these five design trends of 2018 into your current space! For more design inspiration follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest!
