Interior Design Trends to Transform Your House into a Home

One of the most important rooms in any home, the family room brings your loved ones together. It’s where you go to relax and connect, so it’s important that it’s cozy, inviting, and functional. The sofa is the centerpiece of the family room, so it should be inviting, beautiful, and of course, very comfortable. When purchasing a new sofa, sit before you buy, and ask about the durability of the fabric. Throw pillows are a great way to add coziness while bringing color and texture into the room. You can never have too many throw pillows! A tip to help keep your living room clutter-free is to use a large woven basket to tuck away blankets or kids toys. This way your items are easily accessible without taking away from the aesthetic of the room. What’s a family room without some personal touches—display family photos, travel momentos, or even family heirlooms to make your living room feel like home.

Plants In The Home

When is the last time you saw a home on Pinterest or Instagram that didn’t have at least one leafy green plant in it?! Expect to see the houseplant trend continuing well into 2020—and for good reason! Houseplants are a great way to bring the freshness of nature indoors while adding warmth and color to your home. One of our top houseplant picks is the fiddle-leaf fig. This plant needs plenty of sunlight to thrive and varies in size, so it’s a great plant to place near a window. Another good pick are succulents, which come in many shapes, sizes, and textures. These sun-loving plants don’t require much water, making them great for beginners.

Curating A Gallery Wall

There are few things more eye-catching than a well-curated gallery wall. Gallery walls tell a story by making your personal memories into art and can take the pressure off finding one “perfect” piece of art for your home. The easiest way to keep your gallery wall cohesive is to use a consistent frame color. Mix and match the frame sizes and textures to add dimension and interest. Pro tip–get creative with different frame layouts on the floor before hanging them to avoid unnecessary wall damage!
