4 Décor and Design Tips for Your Stylish Home in 2018
Guest post
There’s no better time to give your home a chic uplift than the beginning of a new year. And although 2018 has already settled in, it still calls for creativity, experimentation and renovation. Décor and design trends for this year are playful, enticing and stylish, bringing out the best and most beautiful features in any space. Thus, if you’ve been thinking about styling up your home, these ideas may spark your imagination and creativity.
1. Colour up your home
Neutral colour schemes will always have a special place on the design scene. However, their timeless appeal is left behind this year in favour of more enchanting and mesmerising splashes of colour. Don’t be afraid to break up the monotony of your neutral monochromatic backdrop. By simply adding a pop of colour every now and then, you’ll freshen up your home and fill it with energy. When it comes to your choices, saying that you have plenty would be an understatement. From royal hues for a touch of opulence, energetic pops of yellow or orange for inspiration to deep blue and green shades for relaxation, colour will transform your space. Whether it’s just a few accent details, such as throw pillows, plant pots and decorative items, or mesmerising colourful statements, there’s no better way to create a fresh, new and charming visual appeal.
2. Style up the walls
Artwork is always the perfect choice for styling up your home and setting the tone of artistic elegance. Thus, there’s no reason to leave your walls empty when you can embellish them with beautiful paintings, photographs and artsy installations. You can create an entire gallery wall, use a single large-scale painting as a statement or combine several smaller works.
Furthermore, you have another stylish option – wallpaper. Wallpaper is one of the biggest trends for 2018, bringing a plethora of enticing designs and patterns. You can use it for a single accent wall to create the wow effect.
3. Set up a theme
Choosing a specific theme for your home will help you create a cohesive, harmonious look. When picking a theme, you should think about your personal taste and which style will reflect it the best. If you have no particular theme or style in mind, you can always research your options. For example, if you live in a coastal city, such as Sydney, you can go with a beach-inspired theme to capture the relaxed Aussie vibe. If you love all things oriental, you can implement ethnic and oriental details, such as Persian rugs, eastern designs and patterns, etc.
However, if you don’t want any theme in particular, you can always go with a classic yet elegant design that can be seen in numerous modern new homes in Sydney. What is important is that you find a theme or style that reflects your personality and that will make you feel comfortable in your own home.
4. Dress up the floors
There’s no reason to leave your floors unattended, especially when you consider how many design options they offer. Let’s start by saying that if you have beautiful hardwood floors, especially if they feature dark wood hues, you should show them off. Dark hardwood flooring is a hot trend in 2018 and you should welcome it with open arms.
Decorating your floors with rugs is always a stylish choice, especially if you decide to layer rugs for depth and comfort. From monochromatic elegant patterns to colourful rugs, these accessories will definitely elevate your home décor and create an atmosphere of cosiness.
Make the year 2018 your year for experimental and creative decorating. With these trendy and stunning ideas, you’ll be able to style up your home in a heartbeat.
