Below are our picks for the biggest interior design trends of the year along with some tips on how to incorporate these looks in your own home.
Moody Colors
For the past several years, white has been pushing its way into every nook of our homes. From white cabinets, white walls, and white linens, we have fallen in love with everything white and bright. Slowly but surely, we have begun to see colors pushing their way back into our spaces, specifically, colors that give a warm and rich feel to our rooms. Dark and warm colors are trending in a really big way right now!

Dark accent walls surrounded by light or white walls is an easy way to incorporate a dark paint color because the surrounding light walls balance the boldness of the dark paint color.

Mixing Fixtures
The days of matchy-matchy furniture are over and the fixtures in our homes are following suit! Our kitchens no longer have matching facets, hardware, light fixtures, and barstools; Instead, we are seeing a mixed selection taking precedence. The best advice for choosing the right metals for you home – don’t choose just one!
To try this in your own home, choose a dominant metal and use another as an accent.

Curves
Curvy is in! Long are the days when straight lines and angular pieces dominate the rooms in our home. If you want your room to look warm and cozy, then add curves to it!
There has been a trend is soft lines and curved furniture giving a rounder and softer shape to our spaces. But this doesn’t just entail our sofas and armchairs, as we are seeing a trend in rounded mirrors, frames, and round dining tables. A circular or arch shape has the ability to soften all the straight edges and give our rooms more of a feminine and friendly vibe.
An easy way to add curves to your space is to trade out a straight edge mirror to one with a soft arch.
