The Home Decor Trends 2018 Has Brought To Our Attention

While the night is dark and full of terrors (Game Of Thrones fans I hope you’re reading) we can at least control the mood inside our own homes. 2018 has been an interesting year, to say the least, but as we come to its midpoint, let us observe some of the trends that the year of the heatwaves has brought us. From bold rugs to bold doors, these aesthetically pleasing trends are right up our decor street for home decor trends 2018.

1.Rugs That Make A Statement

In a room of neutral tones, you can add some much-needed character with a bold statement rug. Get a funky-shaped one, or a giant rug that covers all the dents in the floor, or one that’s soft enough to sink into.

2.Fringed Furniture

I was fully on board with and a fan of tassel earrings and jackets. Now fringed furniture is in and it really brings this vintage Victorian style for home decor trends 2018.

3.Cut Shapes

Furniture in geometric styles is so on trend right now. Add a modern touch to you shabby chic bedroom, or simple twists to your minimalist themes that look oh-so Pinterest. You can often make geometric decoration pieces yourself too!

4.Be An Ombre Bae

Far from 90s tie-dye yet still keeping within the theme of gradient tones, ombre styles are so easy to make yourself. If you can’t choose between your favourite colours on your colour palette, an ombre theme will let you have your cake and eat it, allowing you to use an array of hues through your home.

5.Full Of Foliage

It can be hard to maintain fresh potted plants and hanging baskets but thankfully nature-themed décor comes in all styles. Cute succulents from Homebase or Urban O last for ages with very little upkeep, and plastic plants can look alarmingly realistic. Framed pressed plants and flowers are really in right now as well, adding green to a concrete world for home decor trends 2018.

6.Colour Pop

This 2018 trend shows it is so easy to transform a bland home space with bold pops of colour. The Psychology of Colour really is a thing, so let your rooms delight you with colours that make you happy. Have a clean-cut setting that comes alive with brave choices of décor for home decor trends 2018.

7.Ultra Ultra Violet

The Pantone Colour Institute (yes that really is a real thing) annually decides on a Colour Of The Year and they have chosen Ultra Violet for 2018. The colour just screams luxury and will add an expensive look to your Ikea furniture.

8.Metallic Accents

It’s all in the details. Metallic accents are subtle but still add some sparkle without being at all tacky. Give your living space a polished appearance which makes it look like you your s**t together. You can pick up metallic pieces from charity shops or car boot sales too, keeping costs low but flair high for home decor trends 2018.

9.Statement Doors

I’ve always wanted a yellow front door, just so I can be the house with the yellow front door. Looks like 2018 is catching up with good ideas, because statement doors are really making a statement. Whether it be an antique front door, or a bedroom door donned with some fabulous artwork, make the best impression of your beautiful rooms before your guests even step through the threshold.

Thinking of applying any of these 2018 trends to your bedroom? Let us know in the comments if you give them a go!
