Design Trends of 2018

It’s that time of year again! The holidays are behind us and now we are wondering what the new year will bring in terms of new style trends to enjoy. Here are my thoughts on the subject:

Black and white have been trending up since at least 2016. By all appearances, this color combination is still gaining steam, and will remain popular in 2018. Sherwin-Williams' 2018 Color of the Year (Oceanside SW 6496) is an intense shade of blue-green, while Pantone recently announced the rich and regal Ultra Violet will reign supreme in the coming year.

A few years back, mixing metals was a total no-no. But experts now agree that today’s homeowners want more than simple. Copper or Brass fixtures will gain prominence.

In the kitchen, sleek quartz is taking the place of the granite.

Red-toned woods are fading in popularity and trending towards lighter color palettes in domestic American woods such as maple, pine, or hickory

Minimalist, Scandinavian as well as an influence of retro-modern designs, are stylish options for interior design in 2018.

To sum up, Here are a few of the hot home trends for 2018:

  • Geometric Patterns

  • Farmhouse Style

  • Wood & Natural Elements

  • Bright & Warm Colors

  • Metallic Décor

  • Textured Accents

  • Concrete Surfaces
