Are you an interior design afficionado? If so, then you know why the end of the year is so important.
That’s right – trends for 2018.
The Pantone Color Institute has announced their color trends for next year and all interior style bloggers are predicting the looks that will freshen up your room. Incorporate these tips with your design renovations for an inspired, fresh look.
Don’t think you can skimp on design because you live in an apartment – there are plenty of options to remodel and spice up your pad.
Repainting or renovating a room can reinvigorate even the oldest of structures. Add accents, such as pillows and plants, that correlate with your styles, and you’ve got a winning combination.
Whether you’re fully renovating or are making simple changes, here are apartment design trends for 2018.
Metallics
A shiny home is a rage for apartment trends in 2018. We’re not talking about glittery decor. This metallic trend is different than what you would expect. In 2018, neutrals are getting a sparkle.
Think of pearlescence, translucence, and iridescence. With this trend, focus on remodeling your bedroom and bathroom with this color in mind. It will enhance your apartments look and value.
Metallics are in style yet always remain beautiful. Focus on small but useful accessories, such as clocks and lamps, to add to your design.
Eclectic Style
Many of us live intense lifestyles or have an intense taste of fashion. While pastels and neutrals have always been the safest bet for decorating, 2018 encourages us to break free and get creative.
Achieving this look can be difficult. While an eclectic style helps your apartment stand out, it’s easy to look too funky and sporadic. Put a lot of emphasis on design layout, materials, and placement instead.
Are you pretty safe and mellow with your color selection? Blend intense hues with black and gold.
If you’re looking for a couch, the eclectic style is perfect for choosing one. Rather than classic leather, choose a softer fabric in a vibrant color or pattern. Match the couch with eye-catching pillows that tie to the color scheme.
Playful, Nostalgic Décor
Millennials are growing up but aren’t ready to take away their beloved childhood passions. Playful decorations are a natural addition in an apartment. There’s an adult way to utilize this style.
Use wall accents in bright colors, such as yellow. Incorporate favorite, nostalgic plates, utensils, and cups for the kitchen and display them as decoration. Think back to what you loved as a child and find ways to make it practical.
Multi-Functional Space
For many, urban living often means smaller living spaces. Apartment renovations are increasingly being geared toward allowing for the space to be used for both home and office needs, as more people are telecommuting.
Aside from space constraints, apartments designs are also now including smart technology features that cater to the younger generation of apartment owners.
