The home decor trends are constantly changing. New trends appear every year. This year is no different, with some new and trendy indoor and outdoor decor ideas. It’s all about functionality, eye-catching items, rustic appeal, and simplicity this year.
Interior Trends
Going green
The color green is a popular choice for 2017. It can be used on walls or as a bright accent to liven up a space. Forget the pale, minty shades of green. Bright, tropical, or earthy greens are the colors of choice this year.
If you are not sure about transforming a whole room into greens, consider adding a few brightly colored decor items to the space. Choose two or three pieces of furniture to make the room green. The green fabric Parsons chairs will add some comfort and color to your space.
Textures and Patterns
Elle Decor says that home décor trends tend to reflect current fashion trends. What is hot in fashion right now? Mixed patterns and textures. New York Fashion Week’s Fall 2016 featured a lot of mixed-and-matched patterned and texture looks. The trend for home décor is also following closely behind.
Don’t be afraid to use patterns and textures that you wouldn’t normally think would work well together. Put them together if they are similar in color or complementary colors. Zig-zag curtains with floral bedding? Why not?
Climbing Or Hanging Plants
For years, adding live plants to the interior of a house has become popular. Live plants bring beauty and health to the home. This year, you might see more hanging and climbing vines taking over bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens. An indoor trellis can create a stunning focal point or let vines climb up columns.
Simple Window Dressings
Natural light can add warmth and improve mood. This trend will probably not be going away anytime soon. In 2017, window treatments will become more simple. Think of straight curtains instead of pleated ones, wood blinds, and thin curtain fabrics. They’re not only minimalist but also provide plenty of light and keep pests away.
Wood Tile
This year, wooden tiles are replacing subway tiles. Wooden tiles can be used as backsplashes in bathrooms and kitchens. They also look great on accent walls, floors, or showers. Use wooden tiles instead of bricks or stones for a fireplace for a cleaner look.
Farmhouse Style
In line with the rustic trend of 2017, homeowners are gravitating more toward farmhouse finishes than modern ones. Wood-burning fireplaces and Barnhouse doors are also on the rise, as well as large farmhouse sinks for the kitchen. You can go rustic or modern with this look and choose from worn or sleek finishes.
Outdoor Trends
Low Maintenance Grass
The impact on the environment of watering lawns has impacted how people envision their lawns. Landscapers are seeing a shift away from traditional lawn installations and towards alternatives like turfgrass mixtures that do not require frequent watering or mixes that do not need to be cut. People are trading time spent on maintenance for the chance to enjoy their outdoor spaces truly.
Bottle Or Mason Jar Lanterns
You can create beautiful outdoor lighting with wine bottles and mason jars if you are looking for an easy DIY project. There are countless DIY outdoor lighting projects on Pinterest. These projects can be used to brighten an outdoor space with items that you already own.
Outdoor Living at Its Best
This year, homeowners want to spend more time outdoors, with fully functional kitchens and living areas. Outdoor living spaces are expensive, but they can increase the value of your home and give your family more time to enjoy nature.
Edible Landscapes
Landscape design is also a popular trend for this new year. Landscapes are becoming more sustainable and less just eye-catching. This year, more homeowners will probably create beautiful landscapes using edible produce. Herbs and vegetables can provide the lush greenery, vibrant colors, and other elements you would expect from a landscape while creating a sustainable garden.
Bold Fonts
Who says that your exterior colors must be subtle? This year, bold accents are being added to home exteriors. Paint your shutters candy-apple red or your fence a sunny yellow. It is important to avoid going overboard when it comes to color. Instead, focus on one or two accent areas for some bright pops.
Space Saving Vertical Gardens
Some people do not have the space or time to dedicate to a large garden. However, they still desire its beauty and functionality. It’s no problem! Vertical gardens will be more common in outdoor spaces this year. They can be created using chicken wire, planks, or pouches to save time and space.
