Minimalism is timeless. The year 2018 will bring fundamental changes in color, pattern, and surface trends. It would be best if you looked for inspiration in all media channels to make your home more appealing than it was last year. Spectrum TV has a wide range of reality home decorating shows that you can learn from. Color Splash and Dress and My Nest are excellent TV shows to gain inspiration from. For those who prefer not to experiment too much, we’ve compiled a list of 2018 home decor trends that you should be aware of.
Rich Colors will be Speak Out Loud.
Grey has long been the neutral choice for interiors. We think this is about to change. This year, the color is going to be more noticeable. They are also not afraid to use their favorite color on furniture and walls. Sofa colors range from dark purple to deep navy to rich emerald in 2018. The walls should be a neutral color to balance the furniture. Velvet upholstery on furniture can enhance these colors. The bolder colors chosen by people this year are a clear indication of this. A lot of individualism and charm characterize interiors.
Dark Wood Furniture and Interior
This year, furniture is taking on a darker tone than in 2017. Trends are moving away from the light-colored woods and bleached finishes that were so popular in 2017. In 2018, rich, dark woods are gaining popularity, adding glamour to any modern décor. For the perfect finish, wooden furniture is often finished with metal handles and legs. Coffee and end tables also feature marble surfaces. One of the most popular furniture pieces today is a combination of walnut, oak, and gold/brass knobs with a marble surface. Rich wood stains add a timeless look to furniture.
Travel-Inspired Colors and Decor
Travel is a major inspiration for many interior trends, particularly this season. Interiors are themed based on real locations and influenced by the cultures and colors of people’s travels. Internal collections will feature earthy, natural shades that evoke earthen clay and pottery. Travel-inspired prints, textiles, and surfaces add an authentic, raw feel to any space.
The focus of fine textures will be more focused.
This year, textures are the main focus. The latest trend is handmade furniture made from woven wicker. When embellished with fine fabrics, the furniture becomes irresistible. Playing with textures and materials can create a lot of variety. It’s not about choosing between different textures.
The Tropicana Trend Is Loud and Clear This Year
This year’s tropical trend has its unique twist. In 2018, we moved away from the vibrant carnival colors to focus on leafy friends, such as palm leaves. Green shades dominate any room. This is especially true with the gray and charcoal walls that are popular today. The emerald and leafy shades of green are calming and energizing. They give a room a new feel. These shades also work well with darker wood furniture. Look for accessories that will complement the tropical style, like safari animal tapestries and oversized insect patterns.
Metallic touches will be seen more.
Metallic accents have been around for a long time. Brass is the most sophisticated metallic color this year. Brass accents, fixtures, and accessories add a modern, surrealistic finish to any room. They also look organic. To complement metallic brass and gold shades of furniture handles and table lamps, choose soft pinks and deep greens. Brass and marble are good ways to stay on trend. Brass floor lamps and vases can be used against marble flooring to create an elegant, classy look.
Fashion is fluid, and interior decor should be too. Be open to experimenting. You can create a unique atmosphere in any room by combining different colors, textures, and surfaces. You can only learn so much from various sources. It would be best if you did the decorating yourself. You’re the owner of this home, so each room should reflect your tastes.
