Each year brings exciting new trends to the world of interior design. If this is your year to design or remodel your home, make it your dream space with the right colors, features, and creative touches. Here are our favorite design crazes of 2017:

 

Matte Appliances

 

A refreshing departure from shiny stainless steel, matte kitchen appliances are all the rage in fashion-forward homes. Matte appliances are bold and sophisticated without being too showy. They let other elements of your kitchen shine, punctuating the room with subtle yet immensely stylish finishes. Matte is an unexpected finish for appliances, adding a layer of depth to design.

 

Jewel Tones

 

The minimal trend of the last few years has taken on a new, more colorful face – jewel tones. Bright, saturated hues like emerald green and deep amethyst have taken over where beige used to reign. Add a dollop of drama to any room by incorporating jewel tones found in nature, such as Benjamin Moore’s 2017 Color of the Year, Shadow, or the Pantone Color of the Year, Greenery. Both shades are bold and striking, introducing a fresh palette to a previously dull world of creams, whites, and tans.

 

Mixed Patterns

 

This is the year to make a statement – on top of the eye-catching jewel tone trend, interior designers are quite taken with busy, mixed patterns. Create room anchors with bright, enticing mix-matched patterns on comforters, throw pillows, wallpaper, and décor. Interior design takes its cues from the fashion runway. This year, top designers (Marc Jacobs and Prada, to name two) have experimented with lively tropical prints. Introduce a bold pattern into your home to bring new life into old spaces.

 

Marble and Metal Combinations

 

Marble isn’t just a hot trend on Pinterest – it’s one of the most popular materials in homes today. Marble countertops, tiles, wall coverings, carpets, and fabrics are all the rage in interior decorating. Designers are pairing marble décor with woods and metals, especially brass, to create a natural, clean look that’s industrial and glamorous at the same time. Marble adds a touch of elegance and excitement to virtually any room.

 

Tons of Texture

 

Add interest and intrigue to a space by incorporating new textures in wall coverings, light fixtures, furniture, and fabrics. Rich textures add depth to a space and are an important aspect of good interior design. Try brushed brass fixtures, textured wallpapers, and fabrics of mixed materials to bring this trend to your home.
