Open floor plans, sliding barn doors, and rose gold are just a few design trends experts say should go in 2018.
One home design casualty of 2017 is the tropical print. Interior designer Emilie Baltorinic of Living Spaces says, “Although they add a fun aesthetic to bohemian-styled interiors, their loud patterns are great only for a season. Unless you're in a tropical climate, they tend to feel really out of place after summer has passed.” Cactus décor has also been deemed out-of-style, per Realtor.com.
Call it the Chip and Joanna Gaines effect: Over the past four years, everyone this side of Waco, TX, wanted a farmhouse sink and shiplap walls. But in the new year, the farmhouse chic style is starting to finally feel “a little too contrived,” says Oregon-based designer Arlene Lord ... "Those very, very overdone words or phrases you see on walls, plaques and pieces of wood. I mean, when you are at the beach do you really need a sign telling you that you are at the beach?"
