Home Decor Trends to Try This Year
It’s not simple to transition to pre-pandemic living – a housing market boom, and high gas prices, to name a few – have all slowed us down. But, this shift also made a lot of us seek rest and solitude in our everyday lives. With much of our time spent at home, creating a peaceful home is at the top of our lists. And with this brand-new year, design options continue to encourage stability and comfort at home.
With so much happening around us, often stressful and uncertain, top designers are seeing a shift towards calm, balance, and simplicity in home design. Whether you are building a home wish list on your head or are getting ready to buy the home of your dreams, staying abreast of the latest home trends is a fun and important part of the home design process.
Here’s a look at some of the home décor trends that you might want to try this year.
Flexible space
From taking care of aging parents to home offices, homeowners are always in need of homes and spaces that can transition with a family’s changing needs. For instance, having a closet in the room can make switching from a spare room to a home office or a media room down the road.
Smart kitchen storage
When it comes to making kitchen work smarter, many options abound. Creative interior storage is important for instilling a sense of minimalism and reducing countertop clutter.
Eco-conscious homes
More homeowners are now looking for spaces that feel more in sync with the natural world while still being comfortable and upscale at the same time. As more home experts and consumers advocate for greener homes, sustainable home materials and design are now popular, encouraging renewable materials in design elements such as furniture, flooring, and building materials.
Low-maintenance materials
The less work and upkeep a house requires, the better. Products like wood alternatives give authentic appearances without the maintenance of real wood.
Outdoor living
Thoughtful, relaxing outdoor spaces have been popular since the pandemic, and the demand continues until today. Decks in particular are becoming more functional as indoor amenities are moved outdoors, including furniture that are able to withstand the elements, outdoor kitchens, and designated areas for eating, gathering, and relaxing.
Incorporate these home décor trends to bring your space to life this year. Keep in mind that this is not to encourage you to go on a gut renovation project if that is not possible right now. At times, even the tiniest design updates – the right hardware, color palette, decorative accent, or piece of furniture – are all it takes to give your space a brand-new look.
