As the end of the year is in sight, Pinterest has released their 100 for 2018 list. The list is a compilation of the most popular trends in a variety of industries. As Pinterest is one of the top go-to sites for home décor and interior design, their suggestions for the most popular home trends of 2018 will likely be accurate. Here are what they have on the list.
Statement Ceilings
Ceilings will no longer be the forgotten part of a home. Pinterest believes that 2018 will be the year of statement ceilings. From intricate architectural designs like coffered or tray ceilings to bold colors and patterns from wallpaper and paint, there are tons of options to get people looking up.
Mixed Metals
People have started becoming more adventurous with mixing colors, but many are still hesitant when it comes mixing metals. It’s time to learn though because Pinterest thinks mixed metals will be a huge trend in 2018. A custom builder pro tip is to think of metals like any other color. Have a dominant mental and then use additional ones like accents.
Spa Bathrooms
Who wouldn’t want their bathroom to feel like a spa? Any bathroom can get that spa vibe with only a few changes. Add in some wood pieces for warmth and a touch of nature. Layer lighting with candles adds ambiance, and plush towels and rugs will increase comfort. Add in some live plants and maybe some waterproof speakers and you’ve got yourself your very own personal spa.
Terrazzo Comeback
The colorful terrazzo was a huge trend back in the 1970’s, and like all trends, it’s having a comeback in 2018. Terrazzo is a composite made up of other stones like granite, glass, marble, and others. It features shiny flakes that usually have bold colors like blues and greens. If this stone is too bold for your kitchen, try looking for some terrazzo furniture, or upgrade a piece with some terrazzo look-alike wallpaper.
Bone Inlay Furniture
2018 will be the year of bone inlay furniture. These bold and intricate patterns add geometric flair and design interest to a room. They’ll be the showstopper of the home for sure. If you find the pieces a little too pricey, Pinterest has some good DIY hacks like using removable wallpaper or stencils to create the design.
Herringbone Flooring
Herringbone is a pattern that is classic but has an element of added interest. Not only is herringbone hardwood floorings stunning, but you’ll be sure to get tons of compliments on them. If an entire floor of herringbone scares you, try integrating the pattern in small rooms, like bathrooms, or using the pattern for a backsplash.
Bold Doors
Colorful front doors have been making their rounds for a while, but in 2018 they’ll be a full-blown trend. Painting your front door will not only make your home look unique and stylish, but it will also boost your curb appeal. So consider taking the plunge and sprucing up your front door this New Year.
Sage Green
Meet the new neutral- sage green. This color has a softness that allows it to blend well with other colors, but it also has more of a pop than classic neutrals like black and white.
Patterned Plants
Who knew plants could come in and out of style. Try introducing some bold and colorful new plants into your home in 2018. Pinterest predicts ones with fun colors and interesting patterns will be all the rage. Try to find some easy to care for ones if you don’t have a green thumb!
Big Art
Art is pretty personal, but if you’re trying to see what’s in style in 2018 that will be larger pieces. Gone are the clutters of small pieces. In 2018 large, statement pieces of art will be everywhere. Whether it’s a poster, a picture, or something else, in 2018 bigger is better.
Conclusion
Trends come and go, so don’t feel like you need to follow every trend every time. Pick and choose which trends would work best in your home and life.
