Whether you’re thinking about selling or you just want to give your home a refresh, you might be wondering about today’s design trends. What’s in and what’s out? Let’s talk about which design trends are booming, and which you may want to rethink.
Color is making a comeback
The days of all-white walls and kitchens may be coming to an end. Many designers are seeing vibrant, bright colors making their way into walls, fabrics, and even kitchen cabinets. If you want to add some color back to your space, but aren’t sure where to start, here are some HGTV tips on how to incorporate color into your design.
Let there be light
Gone are the days of heavy curtains and blinds. Designers suggest removing dark, heavy curtains and using sheer window treatments to let in as much light as possible. Not only is natural light great for your health, it also makes your home feel light and airy.
Maximize your storage opportunities
Who couldn’t use more storage? With most people spending more time at home over the last year, it’s easy for stuff to accumulate. Make your furniture work harder by choosing options with hidden storage options or reorganize your closet spaces so they are more user-friendly. Less mess = less stress. Looking for creative ways to add more storage space? Here are some ideas from Better Homes and Gardens.
Say hello to wallpaper
Lots of people are wary of wallpaper because it used to be old-fashioned and hard to remove. Today’s wallpaper options are stylish and easy to swap out. Start with a small area, like a bathroom or just one wall. You could even use it in bookshelves to bring visual interest. With so many peel-and-stick options available, it’s easy to change out when you redesign your space. Looking for inspiration? Check out these great wallpaper ideas.
Which trends are on their way out this year?
Interior decorating is so personal, so if you love something, there’s no reason to change it! Many designers are seeing these things less and less when decorating today’s homes.
Farmhouse style
Single-purpose areas (think about it - how many of us have worked from the dining room table this year? Designers are making spaces more multi-functional than ever before)
Neutral colors
