Each year all around the interwebs designers (and other highly opinionated people) drop their predictions for the top design trends of the year. While you know I try to avoid trends, and instead encourage you to discover you personal design style, I thought it would be fun to go through this years trends and decide which ones are worth sticking around.
Saturated Paint Colors
This is one I can definitely get onboard with! I’ve always been a big fan of deep moody colors. Heavily saturated colors help make a room feel more cozy, inviting, and bring more energy to the room. If you’ve been considering bringing a bolder POP of color to a room a kids bedroom, TV room, powder bath, or dinning room would be a great place to start. A blue bedroom will encouraged you to feel more calm and relaxed, while an eggplant dinning room with get you feeling more energized! I think this trend should be here to stay!
Listening Rooms
Never heard of a listening room? Vinyl is having its moment again, so people are dedicating full rooms to listening to music. Here’s another trend I could get onboard with. If you’ve been around here a while you might know that I’m not a fan of TV’s in the main living room, and if you know me personally you know that we ALWAYS have music on in the house. Music can change the entire mood of your home. What if instead of TV being the heart of the home, inspiring, uplifting music was?
Muted Tones
Have you ever watched one of the earlier seasons of Hometown? They end the intro with Erin Napier saying, “I like a little dinge.” I couldn’t agree more. Colors that are a more deep and less vibrant, they look like they’ve been around for decades. Muted tones bring a calmness to your home, verses the bright colors that bring high energy and maybe even an obtrusive feel. In my season of life my children bring enough energy into our home. Home is meant to be a place of rest and to refresh, how can you incorporate color to accomplish that?
No More Open Concept
People are asking for their walls back! This might be one of the greatest debates, as much as people are passionate and love their open floor plans, their are equally passionate people who want their living, dinning, and kitchen separated. I’m in support of this one because I think we should have a choice. It seems like the majority of new build homes are built to this preference. But I would definitely be in support of leaning back toward some divided spaces. Separate rooms helps foster more intimate conversations.

Statement Lamps
I’m v excited about this one. I’ve been obsessed with some of the lamps I’ve found lately. They have so much personality and bring art and texture into your space. For too long lamps have seemed boring and dull. Maybe it’s time to get out of our comfort zone and get a lovely lady leg lamp for our living room (or not) but there really a lot of beautiful options out there.

Nostalgic Design
Also being coined granny-chic. think less kitschy and more sophisticated. Nostalgic design gives a nod to the beauty and elegance that our grandparents and great grandparents loved so well.

Warm Woods
Natural woods finished only with a clear gloss finished brings warmth and coziness to a room. My favorite way this is incorporated into a space is trough furniture like accent table or dinning room chairs.

Gold
Gold is back! But make sure you getting it right. Gold can come in many finishes. It might be a matte gold or an aged gold, whatever you do be consistent with the gold selection you deiced to go with.

High Gloss Finish
Why high-gloss? High-gloss elevated a space and helps accent detailed trim-work. This makes the biggest pop in powder rooms and dinning areas. We choose to implement in in our basement game room.
