2018 Home Trends
Everyone wants to bring current design and styles into their home. While getting all of the information for 2018 forecast I tried to look at the practical trends for the customers I serve in Lake Tahoe. Living in the mountains there are some styles that work and do not work in our area and for the clients. I have put together a list of practical ways to update your look for 2018.
SPA BATHROOMS
Why wait to go to the spa to get that amazing aesthetic? Instead transform your home into a total escape. A deep bathtub and lovely floor tile are the perfect combination to create a dreamy bathroom haven. With gorgeous textures in neutral tones, the bathroom should create a wonderful calming atmosphere.
MIXED METALS
Sticking to just one metal can be boring. Have fun with your decor and appliances by mixing up the hues. Renovating a bathroom? Don’t worry about matching up your light fixtures with your hardware. Don’t forget about matte metallics either. We love a good black light fixture thrown into the mix.
STATEMENT CEILINGS
Adding pops of color or patterns to your walls is great, but have you ever thought of putting it on your ceiling? Incredible architecture like using wood treatments on the ceiling can also help add a geometric element to your space.
HERRINGBONE PATTERN
If you’re re-doing your floors or walls, consider using a directional herringbone pattern to add dimension to your room.We love a good herringbone back splash in the kitchen. The pattern can really add a classic, yet modern element to any space.
COLORFUL DOORS
Give your guests a bright and cheery welcome with a door that isn’t just any old basic shade. From traditional doors to gates, a colorful hue is always appreciated!
Don’t leave out those interior doors either! They can lay a foundation to your room’s palette.
LARGE WALL ART
Say goodbye to the gallery wall and hello to huge art pieces that will take up that blank space in your home. Looking to style an awkward nook in your home? Measure out the space and find a cool piece to fill it up.
COLOR PREDICTION
Sage has now established itself as the new neutral and we don’t have a problem with that at all. Calming and stylish, it totally can elevate any space. The shade looks particularly great mixed in with warm wood and live greens. Painting your kitchen cabinets? A sage shade can help give them a modern rustic flair.
Whatever home trends you add to your home make sure it "Feels Home" and have fun experimenting with change.
