Maybe a few weeks ago it seemed to you that 2019 was very far from you, but in reality, we are already in 2019! It's hard to believe that we have a whole year ahead of us to achieve new goals and that those goals that you have in mind at the end of the year have been met. Although it is good to think about new things, we must also respect that there are things that remain ... like some trends that were in 2018 but remain in 2019.
It is always a good idea to take a short break and remember the best of last year, so we want to explore these trends because if they escaped you, you still have time to enjoy them and keep your home looking incredible.
With color, anything goes
Neutrals are still the best options and will always be the most important colors in a home décor. Although in 2018 there were other colors that we fell in love with and that still stand within the decorations. The jewel tones began to make their mark in the houses, inviting us to amplify the saturation and give the spaces a feeling of richness.
Previously less common colors were welcome in homes. Black even still stands out as a decidedly modern and luxurious color for walls, floors and furniture. And as the color palettes expand, so does the way color is used. Gone are the days of a single accent color. In 2018, the combination of multiple accent shades helped give the rooms a different and motivating glow.
2018 was a year where exploring colors was one of the main characteristics in decoration. The spaces that are commonly forgotten such as the lobby, the ceiling or the entrance door had their prominence thanks to the most vivid and interesting colors, Becoming a very interesting part of the home!
If so much color makes you feel overloaded, you just have to balance the bold colors so they don't take up too much of your current decor.
Maximalism came and stayed
The 2018 design trend roundup wouldn't be complete without a dive into maximalism. If you've been paying attention, you've probably noticed that home design seems to be trending in the 'more' direction.
We just talked about how we started to make our foray into more color. We also opted for more patterns and textures, such as eye-catching floral wallpapers, etc. Maximalism tries to fill a space with things that you like and that bring you energy and joy. Maximalism will be the trend of 2018 that will remain stronger in 2019, but perhaps it will continue for much longer still ...
Striking and decorative lighting
Gone are the days of basic home lighting ... the dull light-wise passed into a better life in 2018 and forever. During the past year the pendant lights were a great gift ... but each time new forms and textures were found hanging to give different types of light to the rooms.
Lighting becomes something unique and original ... it is not enough to just have light bulbs in the ceiling in a practical way to illuminate a room. Now, lighting has become a design and decorative challenge that will not leave anyone indifferent.
Combination of the natural with the industrial
In 2018, we finally began to find ways to unite an innate craving for nature with a love for the elegant simplicity of industrial design. That was thanks, in large part, to the cement madness that was so popular. Suddenly everyone started pouring cement for countertops, floors, shelves, and more. As a key element in industrial design, cement lends an inherent style, even when it mimics natural stone.
But they also wanted to have natural textures in the home, such as walls full of vegetation and plants in the corners. The use of wood was also a constant in the decoration of many homes. In these combinations, the aim was to soften the edges of industrial and minimalist spaces with the natural.
Potted plants, hanging and wall-mounted plants had a major trend in 2018. Even greenery was added on the roofs. During 2018 the natural and industrial have been combined. It seems that finally it was discovered how to decorate well ...
Which trend of 2018 do you stay with in 2019? Is there a trend that you miss in particular and that you want to make a comeback in the decoration of jobs and homes? Home decoration is undoubtedly something very personal and intimate ... But it should never be left in the background when it comes to home design… Decoration is the personality of a home!
