Looking forward to 2018, design experts have pinpointed 9 interior style trends and materials that will become popular, like quartz, mixed metals, and Gen Z yellow.
“As much as I love an all-white interior, rich jewel tones are making their way onto our walls and moldings in a big way—think ‘English library,’ but with peacock teal, black, or rich burnt orange colors,” says Oregon-based interior designer Arlene Lord. Lord recommends pairing jewel tones with bold, dustier shades to create a deep and layered look, per Realtor.com.
To warm up the industrial feel of some metals, pair them with a natural stone like marble or limestone, and look for unexpected finishes like matte black, satin brass, black nickel, and unlacquered brass. Amp up the visual interest another notch by layering your metals across a variety of locations, from faucets to hardware to lighting and furniture.
