Guest post
Trends are changing quickly in almost every field, especially home decor. We all want nice-looking, cozy, comfortable and of course, trendy homes. Now, since the renovation season is on, we are ready for a change. If you are ready too, we’ve prepared a list of the top trends for 2018 that will bring a modern look and feel to your house. See the interior design trends that everyone is talking about and release your creativity!
Rich colors
The dull times of white, beige and grey walls are over! 2018 is bold and creative and motivates you to be the same. Rich pigments are on top this year for both walls and furniture. 2018 is an open-minded year, so you can’t go wrong with any color that you like. However, we can say for sure that the color of the year is lavender.
Mix and match textures
When it comes to mixing and matching, many people worry that they will create a mess. However, as we already noted, 2018 is bold. Feel free to improvise and experiment with different styles and textures – we won’t judge.
The 2018 combo: marble and rose gold
Speaking of textures, 2018 is bright, luxurious and sparkling. That is why marble and rose gold are the perfect combo this year, especially for the summer season. We’re getting away from the brushed silver and moving into the warm and sunny golden tones. You can also use shiny brass accents and marble, which are now showing up as the hottest bathroom trends.
Ceiling wallpapers and one color walls
Many professional interior designers agree that wallpapers are undergoing a revival and are becoming increasingly more popular. The accent comes from the unexpected placement– the fifth wall. One-color walls are beautiful and practical, their neutrality allows you to design your room as you like, but could also appear a little dull. That is why a bright and colorful wallpaper on the ceiling can do miracles and completely change the mood of your interior.
Dark wood is back
Rich colors are not a trend only for the walls, but also for the flooring and the furniture. Dark wood gives a sophisticated, mysterious and yet cozy look to your home. This year we recommend that you go with walnut flooring instead of oak. It is modern, warm and resistant to insects and moisture, which also makes it the most practical choice.
Rule an extreme: more is more or less is more
This is the year which appeals you the most to be yourself. If minimalism isn’t your thing, don’t go with it just because someone says it is modern. The philosophy “less is more” is right for some people and wrong for others. Lavish interiors could be stylish too if you mix and match the right patterns.
The home decor bits and pieces you surely need in 2018
Sofa with a character
The sofa is the most hospitable and representative piece of furniture in your home since it is the best place to perch your guests on. So, for such an important part of your living room, you should choose something that is classy and stylish but also comfortable. We can’t think of any other texture that completes these requirements better than velvet.
Flowers and plants everywhere: on prints and in reality
Plants not only freshen up the air, but their calming green color also has a therapeutic effect. That is why you can’t go wrong by adding some potted plants in your house. You can also take advantage of the natural beauty by putting green and floral motives on prints around your house – covers, pillows or curtains.

Chic designer tableware on display
When it comes to elegance and style you should never forget about the details. Sophistication is actually contained in the small stuff and accents. Choose a luxurious designer dinnerware to not only set up the good mood but also add that extra effort. Besides, when you’re not using the beautiful tableware to serve food, it could also serve as decoration for your home!
Something with the trendiest print: faces
Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon in which our mind tricks us to recognize human faces in different objects. You may have noticed such thing while observing the surprised expression of your door`s lock for example. There is not a trick in 2018 – this year faces are just a trend in prints. We passed the times of clichéd hearts and stars and now we see faces everywhere.
Conclusion
Whichever advice from our list you choose to follow, the only rule in home décor is to express yourself. Luckily, 2018 is a bold year of inexhaustible source of inspiration. We hope our list of the most popular home décor trends has given you useful hints for your own home and has inspired you to put your creativity into action.
