3 Home Design Trends

August 21, 2017

Our designers at iNSPIRE Q work hard on creating photo content with the latest style trends in home décor. When shooting photographs of our home furnishing products we know what’s in, what’s dated, and what’s next. We want to share these 3 home design trends and also inspire you to not be afraid of trying a something new in your space!

Pictured here is a bedroom with a feminine aesthetic full of a variety of colors. The beige linen upholstered button tufted wingback bed is dressed with sheets, blankets, and pillows in yellow, green, blue, and purple colors. There is a beige linen upholstered bench at the foot of the bed, which also has a pillow and blanket on.

Mixed Patterns

Clash alert! What you thought was all wrong about mixing patterns in the home decor rule book turns out to no longer be a rule! In recent years the mixing of patterns on bed spreads has been popular. It gives a room a bold statement. Many would think that mixing patterns is too busy, but mismatched patterns draw the eye in. It makes for an interesting statement piece in your space. Especially like our upholstered chevron pattered chair against a striped rug pictured below.

Home décor trends are all about having fun, and this image depicts a mixture of patterns. There is a black and white striped rug, a grey chevron printed hostess chair, and a bright red desk. The chair also has a red floral-printed accent pillow on it.

Texture

Whether it be velvet, faux fur, stone, brick, tile, or shiplap texture all around the home is the trend. Why, you might ask? The simple answer is, it takes any room from being flat and dull to dynamic. It's okay to mix and match textures. Don't be afraid to play around with different textures in your space, just don’t go too overboard. Think of it this way. Too many different textures in a space is busy and you don’t know where to look. A good rule of thumb is around two to three different textures in a space. Where you pull your texture from is up to you! It can be in a chair, bed frame, rug, or a wall like this.

Pictured is another bedroom with an elegant, artisan-style look to it. The focus of the image is the chesterfield-inspired bed, with button tufted, rolled top, beige linen upholstered head and footboards. The bedding is clean, crisp, and white.

Moving into a living room, this image shows an end table and accent chair. The square end table has a natural wood grain finish, with one drawer and one lower open shelf. The accent chair has dark brown leather upholstery with chrome-finished bracket feet.

Bold Wall Colors

Those wall colors you thought would be atrocious to ever paint even a spec on your dry wall turn out to be the new modern paint trend. It looks refreshing and bold on a wall. It brings your space to life. Just like an accent wall it doesn’t have to be every single wall that you splash a bright bold color to. It can simply just be one wall that you paint your bold wall color to. The wall looks great covered in wall décor because it contrasts the wall color well and makes it stand out more! The in-color right now is bright greens, especially Pantone’s “Greenery”. It is the color of the year.

This one of home design trends is all about going bold with paint. This image has a mid-century modern themed bedroom, including furniture with natural wood finishes. What stands out in this image is that the bed is set against a bright green accent wall, which matches the green, grey, and white bedding.

This is the last image for home design trends. It displays a mid-century modern themed living room. There is a sofa, loveseat, and accent chair with dark grey linen upholstery and natural finish peg feet. There are glass tables and colorful accent pillows.
