Between performance

fabrics, new ways to pay

closer attention to detail

and market favorite items,

there will be plenty of ways

to make your dreams come

to life in 2019.

IntroductionFollowing the latest trends during a

home update offers a refreshing and

relevant touch to home design. Personal

decorators who keep abreast of the

upcoming direction of colors, decor,

textures and lifestyle designs can help

keep living spaces fun and fresh.

While everyone will have his or her

personal preference when it comes to

color, you can make a choice based on

trending shades and hues.

Blue is classic but current. From deep

navy and cobalt to soft sea glass,

different shades of blue can be used

in a neutral theme or the focal point

to liven up a living space. This color

can be used on the walls, but also

in fabrics on furniture and window

treatments.

Since “Greenery” became Pantone’s

Color of the Year in 2017, green

has continued to gain strength and

popularity across creative industries.

This coming year, green is the richest

color. Shades of sage, eucalyptus

and emerald can be used throughout

the home, but will be seen greatly

throughout outdoor living spaces.

Blush

Pastels have always been a

popular springtime color, but the

recent obsession with millennial

pink has made blush a color to

look forward to and consider

year-round. This shade can make

a huge statement as a wall color,

but also be used as an accent

hue throughout the home.

Gray is a neutral tone that has

always been adored by many,

and this color will remain trending

well into 2019. Gray can be used in

everything from upholstery fabrics

and wall coverings to washes on

chests and tables.

Black, white, red, purple and

gold are accent colors to use this

coming year as well. Each color can

be used to add a touch of luxury to

a living space.

PATTERNS, TEXTURES AND

PERFORMANCE FABRICS

While color remains

a high talking point,

pattern and texture use

is also important.

Patterns – especially botanicals –

whether for wall coverings, rugs, or

fabrics – can add personalization to

any design scheme. When it comes

to furniture, performance fabrics

are trending. The idea of placing

furniture in the home that is not only

fade and stain resistant, but also well

designed, will also be very appealing

going forward.

Textures and natural

elements will make a big

statement in 2019. From

reclaimed wood tables and

natural stone to shells and

rope, a variety of textures

can be used in any theme

as accents and accessories

throughout the home.

55

While a classic item, accent and

side tables are helping designers

and homeowners get more creative

in room arrangement and style.

As the “open concept” design

remains popular, the idea of floating

furniture becomes more relevant.

More often seating arrangements

are gravitating towards the center

of the room, making side tables a

necessary complement. Accent

tables not only come in many

design styles, but are trending in

home and décor design and are

available in many unique varieties.

ACCENT TABLES

AND UNIQUE ITEMS

Functional and stylish

storage cabinets,

upholstered ottomans, and

glass and silver chairs are

gaining popularity and can

be used as statement pieces

in a living room update.

66

Certainly, color, patterns and textures

throughout furniture and accessories

will be top of mind for those who are

redesigning or decorating a space.

But all of these elements can flow

flawlessly together with a well thought

out lifestyle design or room theme.

LIFESTYLE DESIGNS

What is it that influences the look and feel of a living space? Perhaps it’s children or grandchildren.

Maybe it’s love for travel and

geography. Or, it could be the idea of

creating a personal oasis based on

achieving the ultimate level of comfort.

No matter what you’re looking to get

out of a home refresh, the following

lifestyle designs are the top trending

choices to look forward to.

Popular design television shows

may be the underlying reason this

upward trending design scheme

has gained so much popularity

over the years, and it’s only going

to continue becoming a

strong talking point between

designers and homeowners.

Very similar to country design

with a modern twist, farmhouse

design incorporates shabby

chic touches with various

natural wood accents to aid a

cozy and stylish feel. Textured

fabrics and leathers are great for

furniture, area rugs and window

treatments with this theme.

The foundation of

farmhouse design starts

with a neutral color

palette. Earthy tones

like gray, green, tan and

brown flourish here.

Clean and simple lines

are vital as well.

FARMHOUSE AND RUSTIC

88

Midcentury modern is a

design scheme that’s been

popular for years – and it

isn’t going anywhere.

This minimalistic style is made up of

straight-forward silhouettes, organic

shapes and quiet fabrics that mimic a

clean, retro feel inspired by 50s and 60s

home decor and arrangement.

It’s a mixture of clean fine lines made of

wood and rusty metals complemented

by pops of colors like bold blues and

rich green. There’s also an emphasis

on functionality – furniture that’s

buildable, foldable and stackable but

also comfortable is key in creating a

midcentury modern feel.

MIDCENTURY MODERN

This style is most

commonly seen in the

living room and family

room, but can flourish

throughout a house

for a seamless setup.

99

You may confuse contemporary

home design with midcentury

modern, but the two are not

one and the same. While

midcentury modern is an

updated version of retro style,

contemporary is all about what’s

current, fresh and evolving.

This means what’s considered

contemporary now might

transition to midcentury modern

somewhere down the road or just

soon be dated.

This trending design

style is made up mostly

of clean, open space,

taking a hint at the

minimalist approach.

CONTEMPORARY

Furniture pieces show

off exposed legs and

contemporary materials like

metal and glass are used

throughout the space.

While this style tends to be the least chosen by homeowners, it’s gaining recent popularity thanks to those who are forward thinking about energy efficiency – design strategies that keep accents and accessories to a minimum allow for natural cooling and ventilation throughout the home.

10

While this theme can

make up any room, you

may best consider it for

an indoor sunroom, or

perhaps the outdoor

patio – two spaces that

can be turned into a

private backyard oasis

seamlessly.

10

While some love going on vacation

every few months, others want

to feel like they’re soaking up the

sun in a calming oasis year-round.

That’s where coastal interior design

comes into play. This style features

a light and airy atmosphere made

up of colors, patterns and textures

reminiscent of the ocean’s breezy,

cool environment.

The common color palette of the

coastal living theme is inspired by the

sea, such as light blues and greens,

which is then offset by gorgeous

creams and neutrals that set the

relaxing tone of the room. From

highlight shells, rattan and seascape

beach accents, various on-brand

accessories can be used to complete

the ocean vibe.

COASTAL LIVING

11

Some may be on the fence about a

lifestyle theme because there’s a piece

of artwork or family treasure they just

can’t fathom moving out of their living

space. Instead of starting from scratch

with an idea that doesn’t fit your

wants and needs, you may consider a

comfortable elegance theme.

It’s not quite contemporary, but also

not traditional – comfortable elegance

is a transitional design style. It’s the

combination of metals, dark colors

light colors and those sentimental

pieces that couldn’t be left out of the

design scheme.

COMFORTABLE ELEGANCE

This is an ideal option for those who are ready to upgrade a room in the home, but may be struggling with the idea of committing to a solid theme.

12

With these trending colors, materials and lifestyle designs,

you can transform an outdated space into something fresh

and inviting. Of course, you should add your own personality

to the space, but professional assistance can help you make

decisions that are trendy, stylish and functional.
