Technology is allowing homeowners and designers to find inspiration for design on a global scale. Family Features shares several design trends that are likely to become popular in the year ahead.
Nordic Noir
Nordic Noir upholds values of minimalism and timeless devotion to well-made elements that are beautiful in their own simplicity. Muted colors like blue-gray and pale rose come to life on walls and in fabrics. Doors made of dark metal and wood paired with glass panels bring natural light and warmth into the home.
Urban Country
This trend brings the look and feel of rural living to urban spaces by pairing crisp white and warm neutrals with ornate fixtures. Elements like a craftsman-style front door with sidelights help to accentuate the home's original detailing, while well-crafted, handmade pieces bring the heart and soul of country living into the space.
Live and Work
There are more more than 3.4 million Americans working from home at least half of the time, and these individuals may require transitional spaces that accommodate both productivity and downtime. To adopt this design trend, use furniture and products that can serve multiple purposes. For example, modern barn doors in bold tones of vibrant orange or cool blue can provide privacy during work hours and serve as an industrial design accent off-hours.
