Interior design that will be trendy in 2018
Interior designers told what techniques can be used and which ones can be forgotten and not repeated.
If this year was very unpredictable and original in terms of implementation, then the coming year promises to be more calm for all sorts of interior delights. Therefore, experts have identified several trends of the outgoing season, which will be quite appropriate to look in the next one.
7 trends you can safely use next year
Chrome elements
Chrome elements are part of household appliances, furnishings and other designs and remain at the peak of their popularity. And this is not surprising, because metal elements can revive any space, be it a countertop, a kitchen sink or original furniture fittings.
Marble
The promising American designer Young Huh, for example, believes that marble and copper will remain in fashion in the coming season, so he advises to look at these materials when decorating your kitchen and bathroom. White marble, of course, is more in demand and looks harmonious in any apartment.
Wood
Parquetry made of precious woods, cabinets, countertops, chairs and other pieces of furniture made of untreated (or treated in a special way, which preserves all the original designs) wood, remain at the peak of popularity and will look quite appropriate in almost any interior.
Pearl shades
In the coming season, you can safely say goodbye to white and beige shades. No, they don’t go anywhere, they just transform into pearl ones, against the background of which furniture and decor elements look much more interesting. Therefore, those who were impatiently waiting for something more interesting to replace white (in their opinion, boring) interiors can now experiment with gray, diluting it with pearl highlights.
Decorative wall decoration
This all remains relevant, but if you decide to take such a step, then you should think over everything properly so that the fashion trend does not turn into a terrible nightmare that spoils the whole look of your home. Walls, for example, can be painted, trivially pasted over with wallpaper, revetted with decorative panels, tiles (including those imitating natural stone) or drywall sheets, and also decorated with laminate. Why not, if the rest of the interior will support the general idea and will be designed in the same style.
Tile apron
Kitchen apron in the coming year will be fashionable to decorate with tiles, especially white. After all, the snow-white tile with matching seams looks strict and very stylish. In addition, it goes well with wood and metal structures.
Smart home functions
Gadgets have long and firmly entered our lives, so it is foolish to give up the opportunities that promise us the functions of a “smart home”. And you will have more time that you can spend on yourself or your family.
3 trends to forget like a bad dream
Pseudo-antique
Any antique elements should definitely be left in the outgoing year. Lovers of all Greco-Roman elements should think that all this “antiquity” is in the museum, but not in the new interior.
Oversized furniture
Large furniture with original elements or pretentious upholstery should also be a thing of the past. It is being replaced by simple shapes and natural materials.
Matt surfaces
There is nothing more depressing than fingerprints or other dirt that remains on matte surfaces as soon as you touch them. This makes the entire interior sloppy and pathetic.
