2017 is over now, so it’s time to look ahead and see what 2018 will bring us in the wonderful world of interior design. To give you a head start, we’ve put together a list of the top interior design trends we can’t wait to see in 2018!
A Vamped Up Fireplace
Whether it is artificial or real, an ambient glow will add a warming and appealing atmosphere to your room. The fireplace should be the focal point of a room, regardless of which room it sits in. Whether you choose an artificial or real fire, an ambient glow will give any room an appealing and warm atmosphere. You could opt for a natural wall mounted electric fire to add a soothing aid to a modern living room, or go for a classic style period fireplace combined with a funky wooden mantelpiece.
70s Style Elements
It’s all about the 70s. Furniture with saturated colours and curves is in for 2018. We are starting to see a shift in the tide from rectangular, sharp lines to an influx of softer edges and fabric and walls and furniture with a punch of pigments. Think shades of deep green, ochre, and burnt rose tones. Arches, in general, are also appearing in décor as well as architecture, like an arched wall niche or opening to a room. Try curved mirrors, curved desks, and chairs – it’s time to embrace the curves of interior design.
Combing Different Elements
2018 is all about taking your favourite interior design styles and combining them. Go authentic. There are so many good thrift-store, antique and vintage pieces that are begging for a new lease of life. By adding vintage elements in a modern minimalist home, you’ve got a winning combination. There are so many ways to use this combination to fit your styles and taste. Think of combinations of minimalist and vintage, modern and antique or country and high tech. We think it’s a good idea to pick two themes and stick with that. It will help bring some consistency to the room.
Lighting is Shining Bright
Choosing smart lighting choices to create atmosphere is a key trend of 2018. Your lighting has the ability to make or break your room, so it’s important to choose wisely. With so many high-tech lighting options available, you can add savvy modern lighting to an old-style country home. Or you can use hints of the vintage theme by using beautiful chandeliers or pendants for your lighting. Natural light is also increasing in popularity through the use of skylights and large windows. Natural light naturally makes us happier and it’s the perfect way to start your year fresh.
