REFINED FARMHOUSE From vintage designs and patterns to fresh, modern botanicals, this trend is anything but rustic. Overall the look is neutral, with soft pastels and hints of black adding splashes of color and contrast to decor and accessories. While shiplap and clean lines are the staples of this trend, designers are loving the warmer colors, textures, designs and art that are elevating this look for 2018.
STAFF COMMENTS

NOIR It’s OK to be a little emotional when it comes to decor. Noir embraces our dark and stormy sides. Think shades of black, misty blues, navy and earthy greens to give depth and dimension to interiors. Moody landscapes, rich abstracts and dark florals help to create a mysterious and cozy look that is simply divine.
STAFF COMMENTS
It’s a myth that dark colors make a home feel depressing. A well-designed room in a dark and rich palette can actually make a room feel intimate and welcoming. It all comes down to design and picking the right art and accessories to finish off the look. At the end of the day a well-appointed room in darker shades will make even the biggest color lover in your life smile.

FRESH Ever since Pantone called Greenery color of the year for 2017, fresh shades of green and blues have been dominating home decor. From refreshing abstracts to watercolor collections and photography, this looks adds a light and airy touch to the home. This trend looks amazing paired with soft whites, greys and warm neutrals to create interiors that help us to breathe.
STAFF COMMENTS
Life gets really hectic.We all need to take time to breathe. Fresh is one of our favorite looks for 2018 and is ideal for consumers who prefer toned-down, neutral spaces. One of the best things about this trend is how adding art can change the feel of a room.

COOL COASTAL We know ... coastal is always on trend but something is shifting in 2018. This season’s coastal look is less about nautical elements and icons and more about the elegance and power of the ocean. Designers are focusing on creating elevated looks with painterly abstracts, seascapes and photography in cool, sea-inspired palettes.
STAFF COMMENTS
Coastal is always a top-seller in wall decor and that is never going to change. I love how versatile and creative our artists are when it comes to embracing new looks in art and design.That means that we will always be able to provide you with collections that are on-trend for the home.

SHIMMER Think pretty, pink, pastels and gorgeous metallics. Shimmer is all about adding some softness and feminine charm into the home. This look is fun, flirty and filled with soft color combinations that make a room feel a little bit glittery without all the glitz. From abstracts and florals to botanical collections, photography and more, our artists have created looks for every style.
STAFF COMMENTS
When “Millennial Pink” became the must-have color I wondered how long pink was going to trend for the home. It’s fair to say pink and pastels have staying power. From fashion to dinnerware, wall decor, bedding, accessories and more, pink, pastels and metallic accents are must-have color combinations.

INTENSITY Let’s talk color. The past few years have seen designers focusing on neutrals and pastels in the home but change is coming. Bright colors create a lively energy, which adds undeniable fun and personality to the home. This season, vivid tones of fuschia and berry, ultramarine, emerald and lemon yellow are all the rage. The easiest way to bring this look home? Art and accessories of course!
STAFF COMMENTS
Bright, bold and intense color is everywhere.We hear all the time that people are scared of bright colors in the home.That’s where art comes in.Wall decor is the perfect solution to those who want to add intense colors to the home but don’t want to go too far. Adding new art and accessories gives you a room makeover in an instant and there is nothing easier than that!

MAXIMALISM
Love eclectic design? Then 2018 is your year. The past few years have seen a focus on clean lines and simple designs in furniture, fashion and decor. Maximilism celebrates excess. Bold patterns, eccentric styles, dazzling colors and various textures are being mixed and matched to create a ‘more is more’ look for the home. So pile on the design. It’s time to let your whimsical side out.

COMMON THREAD
Embroidery, weaving and the art of hand stitching are well-loved art forms. Design enthusiasts have taken these traditional crafts to a new level and are transforming it into one of the hottest looks of the year. We first started seeing embroidery on the runway and it has quickly cascaded into the home. From unique, embroidered works of art to woven global patterns, this look is all about embracing the art of the handmade.
