Fresh Home Design for 2019
Are you remodeling, redecorating, flipping, building or just simply want to paint and hang new curtains? Maybe you’re remodeling to sell, and you want your house to stand out. 2018 has come to an end, and home shows and furniture markets have come and gone, and what’s hot and what’s not is just about set for the new year.
- Using darker colors in the kitchen, especially navy blue, is a trend this year. Livingetc offers some inspiration to add this classic color to your kitchen.
- Speaking of color, warmer neutrals and earthy tones are starting to trend, and may replace gray as the popular color for walls and flooring.
- Granite countertops are falling behind quartz and concrete as the trendiest choices for countertop materials.
- Trellis and Grecian-style patterns are on their way out, and fish or mermaid scale patterns are gaining popularity.
- The desire for comfort in furnishings is on the rise, using plump cushions and velvet fabric for added luxury to a comfy sofa or chair.
- Believe it or not, floral is so in--even the chintzy look! Whether you use it in fabrics or wallpaper, -it’s the print to use this year, the bigger the better.
- Fringe is still everywhere--trimming furniture, bunched into tassels on draperies, and even on lighting and mirrors!
- You have your statement wall, but what about a statement ceiling? Paint, wallpaper, tiles, exposed beams--some designers are calling ceilings the “fifth wall.” Check out this article from House Beautiful, and look up for something new!
There are so many styles for home decorating and design, and the practical thing to do is to use classic styles for the major things, and add the trendy in small ways, so you don’t have to break the bank and completely overhaul your all-gray living room just because it’s “out of style.” Trends come and go, but classic does not.
