Design trends for 2018


If 2018 is the year you wish to redecorate your home, be aware of several design trends making their way into homes across the United States.

Incorporate Pantone’s Color of the Year into your home design. Ultra Violet, “a dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade, PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity and visionary thinking that point us toward the future.” Use the bold, blue-tinged hue to accent a room. In other words, look to adding a few sprigs of lilac in a neutral-colored vase, incorporate Ultra Violet throw pillows to your couch or enhance a living or dining area with a rug, with violet threads in it. In addition, brass accents pair well with the Ultra Violet color. Look to brass-framed mirrors and picture frames, brass light fixtures and more.

Add pizzazz to your home with bold patterns. This is the year to incorporate texture and patterns into your home. Add circles, beautiful floral prints and paisley wallpaper to add dimension and make a statement. To add a splash of texture, look to woven baskets and other natural, artisan accessories for an international flair.

Break away from standard white trim paint! While yes, white trim paint looks crisp and clean, 2018 is the year to break away from the standard. Use charcoal gray trim paint with gray walls or black trim paint on white walls, for example.

Look to adding greenery to any space. Houseplants never go out of style! They serve multiple purposes—adding oxygen and purification to your home, while providing a budget-friendly design element. If more color is desired, place your plants in colorful planters.
