Home-decor-trends-2017-interior-design

Want to know what the next big things in home decor and design are?  Well I’ve just come back from the World’s largest marketplace, the Atlanta Gift and Home Show. This home decor trends mea is where pretty much everything you’ll see in stores is displayed in a massive three building mega complex. Not only are there gifts and furniture, but carpets, jewelry, apparel, antiques and just about everything else you can imagine. For the past 25 years I have been heading to the AmericasMart  shopping for my family’s floral and gift store Wisteria Flowers and Gifts. I help scout out what’s cool, attend design and trend seminars and scour every single floor for unique home decor.  I’m here to share with you the inspirations that move me.  

Forecasting Design Trends

You all know that I am a total color nut and can talk about it for hours, so I will write another post about my favorite colors trends for 2017 later on this month. Let’s get down to the nitty gritty and talk design…

METAL MANIA 

We’ve seen a heavy metal presence for a while now and I sound like a broken record but it’s still hot and heavy for 2017. Mixing Metals where these warm tones take on a matte and weathered finish with hints of brown, champagne and all the way to black. Gold is still super popular but look for more of an aged texture in the future.

fall home decor includes metallic finishes

This cream and gold flocked wallpaper is both metallic and retro inspired. It’s clean look is anything but old fashioned and is the perfect bridge to my next trend.

GLOBAL PATTERN PLAY

Layering multiple colors and graphic patterns can never be too much. Global designs and textures are everywhere. From soft pastels to bright concentrated hues to black and white; pattern play is key. Along with the global designs there is a resurgence of retro mod patterns in home decor trends. Colorful tie dyes, ombres, dip dyes, fancy florals, hand painted brushstrokes and block prints add to the mix and match approach. Below featured Natural Habitat bedding and accent pillows.

Global Patterns

Colorful graphic floral reminiscent of Cuba. Look for Havana Style. Think vintage cars, parrots, cigars, pineapples, and banana leaves are everywhere in home decor trends.

TIME CAPSULE

We are so completely overstimulated and plugged in that we are looking for places and things that remind us of a calmer time. Call it nostalgia, we crave comfort in our lives and are looking to seek refuge from the 24 hour treadmill.  Garden getaways, She sheds, tiny reading rooms, cozy corners and quiet nooks give us a place to renew and refresh. Look for porch swings, banquettes, dinner parties at home, game nights, vintage inspired dinnerware, epherema and anything that gives a nod to our simpler past.

Turning the spines around is less about what book it is and more about the texture, shape and color.

Statement Lighting and Chandeliers

Lighting has been around for ages, well hundreds of years but lately lighting is shining a brighter light than ever on home decor. As a self proclaimed lighting junkie I am drawn to a beautiful lamp, chandelier, neon light like a moth to a flame. Unconventional material and ways to shed light on a subject has never been more stunning!

WOOD, RATTAN AND WICKER

The natural wood is still trending but the eco consciousness is stepping it up. More and more items are being made from sustainable materials. Wickers, grasses, cork, flax, seaweed and other biodegradable natural materials are providing us with a healthier living environment all while being used in artful curated design. Living walls and the quest for more green space prevails.

Furs and Animal Prints

More faux furs, leathers, mohairs, angora, suedes and animal prints in not the typical color schemes. Bright colors, moody textures and mixing with metallics. Not just for cowboys anymore.

ARTISAN and handMADE

Has the New Year left you wishing to clean house and pair down. You’re not alone.  A quest for a more minimalistic life is on the rise. Have less and what you have has and tells a story. Hand made items and one of a kind purchases add to the sentimental value. After all we can’t take it with us when we go so love what we have now.  Make your surroundings unique and unique to you. Here’s just a few things that I fell in love with.
