Home Décor Trends 2018

By Anita 28 Comments

I’m always fascinated by the trends for each year and really like to follow them, even if I don’t follow them that often. Here are the ones that I found interesting for 2018.

 

I have some thoughts as to what will be hot this year and here is what I am seeing and thinking.

 

MORE COZINESS

We’ve had the hard lines of industrial style. I like it to a point, but I’m also all about snuggling on my sofa with a soft throw, a feather pillow, and a good book.

VELVET

I’m in love with velvet! It’s right up there with linen for me. I love the softness and the visual richness of the fabric. That long bolster pillow below is made from very soft blue velvet.

 

TONE ON TONE

I like tone on tone, but had a hard time finding an example in my home. I found this pillow that has a lighter and a darker plum on the fabric. I think it’s a wonderful look, and I believe things will look more sumptuous this year.

I think brass will continue to be hot this year.

Moody palettes will be big this year. I’m into the colors, but we’ll see how much I actually add to my home.

 

Bold patterns will be hot, and what a great way to add pattern with pillows!

Lavender and lilac are big this year. Of course we knew the rest of the world would catch on soon enough, right?

Woven textures should also be very popular this year.

    Where did you get the beautiful glass placque (with bow) in the shape of a paint palette hanging by the window in one of the photos (brass will still be in) in Home Decor Trends 2018? (posted Jan. 9 or 10, 2018.)

      Donna, in my browswer, I right cick, then select ‘save image as’. I’m in Chrome. If you are using a different browser, then it’s going to be different. Is there anyone tech-savvy that can help you?

    Love the crewel pillow. I purchased crewel curtains for my living room this year and love them. The company , The Linen Source is out of business now . Also, I noticed Country Curtains is Out of business now! Love the lavenders and purple- red berry tones.

    Anita! I’ve been looking for a lavender/purple toile for years! Always ahead of our time. Where did you find it?
    I love the crewel tone-on-tone pillow. I thought you had reupholstered the chair, it is such a good fit. As always, everything has your special elegant touch.

    I am not very trend driven but I love to hear what is trending in home decor. I am so glad that brass has become popular again. Our house was built in the 90’s and is loaded with it. I had contemplated trying to replace it all at one point and discarded that idea because of the expense. Just goes to show you, that if you hang on, most things come back around!

    This year’s trends look so romantic. Pantone color of the year 2018 – Ultra Violet seems to becom a big accent in furniture pieces too. The idea of using this color, along with some of my favourite types of flowers in violet hues, sounds line a total renew of my home and my flower shop 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Lavender and lilac are a trend since many years and will be in the years to come because of it’s evergreen attractiveness that suits in any kind of room.
