Although the New Year is over, the year is still new and now is the time to start thinking about new home trends that can bring your home into the future of style. From simple textile changes to exotic hints of fun, here are 4 on-trend new styles for 2017 and how you can bring them to life in your own spaces…
Bold Black and White Stripes
Noir meets modern appeal with this overwhelmingly huge trend for 2017. Play with different widths of stripes in rugs, chair patterns and artwork. The best thing about black and white is that they work as a neutral and go with basically any color you can think of. Pair with colds and corals for a glamorous style or go bold with bright hues for an artistic vibe that will add a modern twist to your apartment flat.
Tropical and Exotic Designs
From music to the runway, tropical and exotic trends are showing up everywhere for the New Year. The trend is already making its way into the home in the form of palm leaf pillow covers and other fun, exotic places like Turkish linen bath towels in the guest bathroom. Pineapples are another great way to add a little flare to your home. Did you know that they symbolize the word “welcome?” This makes them perfect for your entryway.
Whimsical Watercolors
Whether you implement them in artwork prints or textiles, watercolors are showing up everywhere this year. Try watercolors in floral print pillows that can dress up a tired old sofa… or go for an area rug that really packs a punch in a variety of water-washed hues that breathe a little bit of blue skies into your winter living space.
Deep, Dark Indigo
Derived from plant dyes, indigo is one of the oldest natural dyes on the planet. Used by countless tribes and early settlers, indigo’s history is just as rich as its hue. You can bring this color into your home through the use of simple basics like pillows, throws and tapestries. You can even mix trends by utilizing watercolor indigos in your favorite space of the house.
Whether you welcome your guests with pineapples and Turkish linen bath towels for a touch of exotic flare or go full-on bold with noir stripes and bright colored accessories, the start of the year is a great time to beat the winter blues with a touch of “new”. From new hues to delightful new textiles, dress up your home with personal style and it will become your vacation home… right at home.
