Many of us are still trying to get over some of the contradicting décor fads of 2017, such as:

• Minimalism
• Maximalism
• Mud cloth
• Shibori prints

If you plan to give your home a décor makeover in 2018, you don’t have to throw out the old to squeeze in the new. There are ways to seamlessly blend the home décor trends of the time into your space without making older items looked outdated.

Top 10 Predicted Home Décor Trends for 2018

Use these ten home décor trends of 2018 to help you create the look and feel you’ve been dreaming of for years:

1. Black & White

When decorating your home, black and white is a very graphic combination of high-contrast colors. Together, they create eye-popping elements with visual dichotomy and interest. Not only do these contrasting colors inspire balance, they blend with just about any accent color on the rainbow.

2. Celebrating Imperfection

Have you heard of Wabi Sabi, the Zen Buddhism concept dedicated to celebrating imperfection? Well, home décor designers predict that this trend will spread like a wildfire in 2018. When decorating a home, Wabi Sabi is about unmade beds, irregularly shaped handmade goods, perverse beauty and just doing things your way.

3. Chic 70s Style

The 70s chic style is back, and it’s expected to be hot in both 2018 jewelry trends and home décor trends. Create the retro vibe in your home by using bright greens and oranges, along with earth tones like browns, rust and wood. And, don’t forget the velvet!

4. Copper Tones

Expect copper accents to be huge in 2018 home designs. This natural looking, earthier hue of metal is taking over the fame graced by rose gold these past years. Look for orange and red tones to combine this with the chic 70s style. Add classy finishes for more modern looking copper-embellished home décor accessories.

5. Going Natural

One thing we know will continue to be huge in 2018, and for years to come, is organic home integration. Many home owners are not only going green, they are looking for natural materials to decorate with as well. Bone will gain steady popularity throughout the year, along with lava rock and shells.

6. Innovative Florals

Traditional floral patterns will make major comebacks in both the fashion world and home décor trends of 2018. Be on the lookout for eye-popping details, familiar patterns and vintage vibes that give big-ups to nostalgia. Expert predict “new takes on old prints,” along with exaggerated, funky colors and proportions.

The 2017 fashion runways were filled with ruby red designs. You can expect this same trend to trickle over into the 2018 world of home décor as well. Such vibrant, rich colors are indicative of power and confidence that go far beyond Christmas and the holiday season.
