NOSTALGIA

If it wasn’t obvious from all the pastel sofas and bold patterned rugs lingering on your feeds, mid-century modern rooms are still having their moment. Here we are, dipping toes into the 80s trend with sculptural furniture, bold colors, record players and dramatic statement pieces! Some of the design elements like lacquered shelves, geometric shapes, and vertical lines are making a major comeback. We are talking about the perfect small space, functional and approachable pieces that gravitate toward the modern version of mid-century.

Mid-century elements like sleek lines, combined with modern design features such as simple color palettes, organic fabrics, and neutral tones, aim for the perfect balance of function and beauty. This refreshingly classic look can easily be achieved by implementing details including hairpin legs and walnut wood finishes on your larger and smaller pieces.

NEUTRALS

Certain hues stay relevant forever. They’re timeless. No matter what trends come and go through the years, the tried-and-true neutral palette has been and will always be beautifully on point. On the surface, you may not think much is going on within a neutral design scheme, but it’s in that simplicity where the true potential exists. An endless variety of shades live within the neutral spectrum—white, cream, beige, tan, camel, gray, and so on. They literally all match each other, so it’s impossible to make a misstep when designing your ideal space. As long as you choose a few different shades to maintain visual depth, you’ll end up with a room that’s fashionably fantastic, while also warm and inviting.

As we’ve stated, a neutral-centered design approach can be a safe and rewarding choice. But what if you want to inject just the slightest pop of color? That’s where having a muted backdrop really lets your style flourish. Placing your furniture and decor against light neutral colored walls can ensure your items stand out and catch the eye. A couple of primary colors like green florals and a blue vase, for example, make an even more powerful statement when they’re allowed to take center stage.

MAXIMALISM

Juxtaposed against a more minimal motif is the emerging trend to style homes with bold tones and loud patterns. You may have spotted this movement in Kendall Jenner’s cozy LA hideaway mixing up loud patterned rugs. In many cases, this trend is showing up on boldly designed walls. Sometimes, redesigning only the accent wall can change the look of your whole room. If you don’t want to commit to this trend permanently but still want to embrace colors in a big way, you can simply integrate it through decor, art, accent pillows, plants or even a bold patterned bed spread.

Monochromatic color schemes are a social media darling! The repeated use of the same bold tone or pattern creates a dramatic look. However, let yourself feel empowered to go all out by mixing and matching the colors of your furniture, walls and decor. A great way to create visual interest is by balancing out colors. A prime example could be styling a mustard colored sofa against a dark blue wall. Or, you could choose a bold patterned wall with more neutral furniture and then anchor the design with lighter pops of color around the room.
