Keeping up with the
trends in home decor can be tough. So this year, why not opt out of following
the latest and greatest, and choose timeless home decor style over fleeting
fads? Exterior Interior Magazine has got 10 home decor trends that will keep
your style fresh for years to come.
1 Minimalism.
No matter what year it is, less is always more. The less you
have crowding your shelves and tables, the better your home will look -- and
the less you'll have to dust! The same goes for the layout of each room. Stick
with furniture that's proportional to the room so the space doesn't look
crowded.
2 Accent color.
Trendy colors change year to year and season to season, but a
room always needs a bit of color to really pop. Rather than investing in an
orange couch or painting the living room aquamarine, choose accessories such as
throw pillows, vases and even art in bold accent shades. These are easy to swap
out every season or the next year.
3 Functional furniture.
We from Exterior Interior Magazine suggest that don't buy something on which you can't comfortably sit. The same goes
for glass coffee tables (too much potential for breakage) and shelves with no
space. Buy home decor items that are meant to be used, not just admired from
afar.
4 Comfort.
Like function, comfort is an important factor when buying
furniture. It's not timeless if you have to replace your couch because you just
can never relax on it. Buy something that looks good and also feels good.
5 Quality
over quantity.
Just because you have shelves doesn't mean they all need to be
overflowing, and just because you have walls doesn't mean every square inch
should be covered with a painting or photo. Choose art and accessories wisely:
Shop less often for unique and high-quality items instead of over-buying just
for the sake of putting something (anything) on your walls.
6 Smart
storage.
An organized house is a happy house. Having smart storage
solutions never goes out of style and will ensure your home is always in order.
From wrought iron hooks to classic bookshelves, you can easily make storage
part of your design aesthetic.
7 Shades
of gray.
In fashion and in home decor, gray is a shade that isn't going
away. From softer tones to slate to gray with hints of blue, this timeless
color looks good anywhere -- including on counter tops, walls and accessories.
8 Warm
tones.
Shades like caramel, plum and ochre are all timeless because
they warm up your space. Whether you paint a room in a warm tone or stock up on
accents in those shades, your home will look chic and cozy, regardless of the
latest trends.
9 Natural
lighting.
If you need to buy window coverings, choose window treatments
that let in the most light. Where there is minimal natural light, invest in
high-quality lighting options that give your space a natural-looking glow.
10 Durability.
When it comes to home decor, it's often better to splurge on
something that will stand the test of time rather than something trendy, yet
poorly made. You'll end up spending the same amount on several low-cost,
low-quality items versus one well-made piece. Again we from Exterior Interior Magazine suggest you to shop wisely.
