At home we have many details to take into account when decorating. It is not only about choosing a style, or some functional furniture, but also about making the environment tell us something, and that it is pleasant and cozy. Except for some few styles, such as the minimalist, we almost always resort to the prints to spice it up to a space, and in this field we have many possibilities.
Today we are going to see some of the trends in prints most chosen to decorate the home. A well-chosen pattern can completely change the look of our room, so we should not underestimate it. We will see that even the most daring print mixtures succeed today, so it is time to add textiles and details with prints in our home.
Timeless classic prints
If something is not going to fail us, it is never the great classics in decoration. They are those timeless tastes that can be reinvented but that one way or another will always be in fashion. There are prints like that, which will not stop being a trend even if they show them to us in a thousand ways. In the case of prints, we sure have many examples on hand. Striped, polka-dot or plaid prints are a classic that has remained with us season after season, and they always come back with greater or lesser force, but never completely go away.
Stripes are a great resource, as they have an unmistakable elegant touch. We can add a striped wallpaper on the walls, to also give it a feeling of spaciousness upwards in case the ceilings are low. If we choose the polka dot prints We will be facing one of the funniest and most cheerful ideas that we can put in home decoration. The paintings, on the other hand, are more classic and serious, for elegant settings. The choice of each pattern also depends on our tastes and the environment we want to create. In addition, in these classic prints we can find ideas in all kinds of colors.
Flower prints
Among the classics there are also flower prints, but these deserve a separate mention for the large spaces that we can create with them and for the many ways we have to represent them. There are Floral prints with liberty flowers, which have an air of the seventies, and then there are those with muted flowers, which look retro, or those that use the flowers in pink tones to give a romantic air to everything. Flowers in bright colors add a cheerful touch to spaces and today there is a trend in which we add flowers in larger sizes, such as murals for the walls, which are really beautiful. We don't know which one is your favorite, but know that currently the most amazing mixes are allowed too.
Vintage prints
We come to the world of retro and vintage prints. Those weathered and antique-looking flowers, the muted ocher tones speak to us of the vintage world. Also the patterns that imitate hydraulic floors are very typical, or those that are inspired by tableware and tiles. There is a world apart in the vintage trend, but you should know that there are also prints that represent it.
Scandinavian-style prints
Scandinavian style is the trend of the moment, and that is why it is something that we must take into account to decorate the home in a current way. Scandinavian prints stand out for their simplicity. One or two basic colors and shapes, with lots of geometric patterns. The mixture of black and white with some grays is the most common, but if we want to add color, the most common is that the prints use pastel tones. As we say, they always have to be simple patterns, which can be mixed with their geometric shapes. In addition, there are some very typical ones, such as fir trees, clouds or simple chevron stripes.
Ethnic prints
El ethnic print can help us to give a bohemian and casual touch to the home. If this is the trend that you like the most, you can certainly add it to your home. With an ethnic rug and cushions with this pattern you can give it a totally different touch. In the ethnic world, vivid colors are often used, such as intense reds, pinks, blues and greens, which can also be mixed without any fear in these beautiful patterns.
Print mixes
We ended up with an idea that has attracted us for a long time, and that is that we see more and more homes in which they are thrown into the trend of mixing prints they don't have much to do with it. They are looking for colors that complement each other, but the patterns can be totally different, thus creating a visual harmony with the tones, but a contrast with the patterns.
