Top Current Home Decor Trends
Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something blue… this adage holds equally true for the top home decorating trends.
What’s old is new again
Whether they’re genuine period pieces being repurposed or home furnishings reproduced from popular items from the ’50s, ’60s or ’70s, vintage is hot. Examples include chair frames redone in new upholstery, and traditional lighting fixtures in newer brass or pewter finishes.
A spectrum of colors
Color trends will carry over from the previous year with the soothing aqua and green hues that draw their inspiration from the verdigris deposits found on weathered copper statues. For outdoor furniture and accessories, sassy colors like lime green, bold orange and Caribbean blue, along with more subdued hues such as sage green, barn red and mocha brown.
The mad world of furniture
Furniture styles are returning to the ’50s and ’60s with round tapered legs on angles, geometric accents and seating with curved backs. Add to that classic wood pieces made from sentimental stock like fallen trees or scrap wood from ancestral or historic structures.
A trend that will stick around
A small change in a room can make a huge difference – and wall coverings make a dramatic, yet cost-effective statement. Innovative new SmartStick repositionable wall murals make it easy for homeowners, renters and even college students to add a fresh new look to indoor and outdoor walls, floors, doors and windows.
Green continues to be keen
As living green becomes more ingrained in our lives, LED lighting will continue to light the way. Products and materials such as bronze, copper, clay, cotton, linen and hemp – which are environmentally friendly, contribute to healthy indoor air quality, and can be repurposed or recycled at the end of their lifespan. Using such natural textures as hemp, jute, organic cotton, recycled polyester, bamboo fiber, organic wool and linen, and soy silk will help keep it simple but still green.
