MODERN MAXIMALISM

If you thought 2017 was the year of minimalist living, 2018 will be basically the opposite. There will be more pieces and more colors and more mixing of patterns to create a purposefully over-decorated look. Try layering different rugs, bright colors, bold patterns that are not only for pillows and accessories but also for larger furniture pieces.

WALLPAPER 2.0

This is a new era for wallpaper. This year trend involves wallpaper with a whole new level of coolness, printed digitally and has endless design options. The colors are more saturated and most of the times come with unique patterns that you just can't find in the traditionally produced papers. Well-picked wallpaper gives some accent to the less attractive space like the entryway.

SATURATED HUES

Neutral tones are now giving its way to bolder and more vibrant hues. After so many years of monochromatic trend (black, white, grey) the design world is finally ready for saturated colors in exciting hues. The tones include shades of purple, indigo blue, mustard yellow, and vibrant shade of red. These bolder shades are mostly expressed as pops of color in a room. Neutrals can still be easily mixed in if you are more on the conventional way.
