When it comes to home decor, 2017 was the year of everything from woven wall hangings to Scandinavian-inspired interiors. And as the year winds down, soon enough your thoughts will most likely wander to a home refresh. So it’s worth exploring the top decorating trends that will likely be on repeat in homes across the country—and possibly in your own abode. These trends are chic, inspiring, and (fortunately) don’t require a complete room overhaul.

GREEN

Green is strong again. From lime green to emerald, the hue works throughout the home—whether it’s as a wall color or a room-filling rug. If you’re not too keen on the idea of using green in large doses, add really fun emerald glasses to your regular white plates and suddenly you’ve got that up-to-the minute look.

TROPICAL PRINTS

The print will continue to appear in wallpaper and designer fabrics. But don’t worry if such in-your-face prints are out of character for you. Throw pillows boasting the trendy pattern: Always buy a plain sofa and change it up with new pillows. It’s just like buying a great piece of classic clothing. You can certainly refresh it with a new bag and shoes.

TEXTURE

Weaving texture into an interior makes it more inviting and the idea of mixing fabrics and materials will be on the rise. Texture is really important. We are seeing more and more texture in every form, from brushed brass tables to light fixtures to fabrics and wallpapers. A quick way to test the trend: Drape a nubby wool throw over a leather chair or mix fabrics used for decorative pillows.

MARBLE AND BRASS COMBINATION

We’re going to see this trend in both kitchens and baths. “It’s that combination of something very natural and clean, like white marble, and something industrial, hard, and a little bit glamorous with the brass.”

QUIRKY LIGHTING

Think of lighting as an accessory for your home—it’s the perfect way to show off your unique design sensibility. A quirky lighting fixture looks great in a dining room. It’s a great space to go for it and do something unusual. Also consider sprucing up your bedside lamps with something truly memorable.

MUTED COLORS

Does the thought of bold colors anywhere in your home make you feel a tinge of anxiety? Don’t fret—it’s all about neutrals in the year ahead. Whites, beiges, pale grays, camel, and blush pink are super on-trend.

GEOMETRIC

Your goal should always be to create a home that feels curated, and an easy way to accomplish this is through pattern. We’ll see inventive geometrics that speak to ancient cultures, whether it is African or Asian patterns, but they’ll be modernized. Think simple lines, geometric designs, and triangles.
