Monochrome Spaces

On the other side of the spectrum, minimalist decor is still going strong in the new year. But lack of color does not have to mean a stark and boring space. Get tone on tone with muted pastels or layer neutral textures to create a cozy, cohesive look.

Graphic Wall Art

Buh-bye blank walls! 2018 is all about the large-scale graphic prints and cool photography. Bring your space into the new year with an oversized print on a large white wall or place a few together to create a simplified gallery wall.

Mixed Metals

If there is one old-school interior design rule to break this year, it would be not to mix metals. Mixing metals are having a major moment this year and you should not be afraid to mix a gold metallic pillow with silver decor accents.

 

The key to mixing metals is balance –  choose a dominant metal and use the other as an accent. Distributing the dominant metal throughout the space will give you give you that luxe, eclectic look.
