7 New Design Trends To Try In Your House

Every house needs a refresher every now and again, and we know all the new design trends to suit any home do-over! Check these out!

Does your house reek of K-Mart styling? Can you do better than that? Yeah, you can, and we’re to help you find the right design trend for you. It can be hard to find a style that makes you feel at home, but it’s so worth it. No one wants to come home and feel unsatisfied, so here are some new design trends for you to experiment with!

1. A Mid-Century Modern Statement Piece

Okay, it’s not new, since it sprung up in the (you guessed it) middle of the century – but these 50s design trends are making a comeback.

As mid-century design is all about clean lines and organic shapes, it meshes well with that clinically modern trends that have dominated houses of late.

If you’re looking for something modern, but with a touch of vintage, this is the design trend for you. Just remember to only add a little, or else step back into a time capsule.

Go with a simple dining table, a wood-framed sofa, or teak sideboard. These epitomise mid-century design and embrace both modern materials and vintage warmth!

2. Velvet Headboards

Or velvet anything, really – but it’s much better used sparingly. If you’d like a touch of luxury in your home, swapping out your bed frame for one that is velvet and coloured will do the trick.

The love of velvet seems to be particularly focused on deep blues and greens. Modern style is no longer just about white on white on white – and adding rich colours can give a room so much personality.

Which, ultimately, is the goal. Your house should feel like you, and colour is the easiest way to communicate that!

3. Be Eclectic

As we move on from turn-of-the-century modernism, we also move on from hiding everything away for the sake of an aesthetic.

No matter if something seems tacky, or is a hidden passion, we’re now being encouraged to display it! Cluttering up walls with portraits, or hall-tables with knick-knacks, is a-okay! You don’t buy things just to keep them hidden!

4. Embracing Nature

Indoor-outdoor living is no longer just for Indonesian countries. The popularity of the indoor plant is a trend that’s not going anywhere soon – in fact, the emphasis on nature is only growing.

As humanity becomes increasingly focused on our affect of the environment around us, we look for new ways to coexist with nature. By bringing in more plants into your house, or working with the natural materials outside our door, sustainability is a hip, new trend we hope stays around for years to come!

5. Wallpaper

Wallpaper is no longer a dated design trend of decades passed. De Gournay is proof.

As design has evolved, so has what is possible – and wallpaper is no longer limited to just repetitive prints and dull colours. Just google De Gournay to see what is possible in the world of wall-art these days – it’s literally a work of art.

If you’ve got the patience (and the money) then this is one design trend that’ll have a huge payoff.

6. Black

Yep. The colour black.

It really is the most timeless of colours. Black as an accent colour has risen in opposition to stark white. Kitchens need no longer have white cabinets and back-splashes and countertops. This goes for pretty much every other room, too.

If black is used right, it can add dimension, not darkness, to a room. Consider black cabinets and white everywhere else. Perhaps an antique bookshelf painted matte black, or sleek, black fixtures in the bathroom.

If you have the natural light to make up for it, black is the way to go if you like modern and classic.

7. Art Deco Furniture

On the heels of mid-century’s re-emergence is the reassurance of art deco furniture. Particularly if it’s an art deco couch.

Art deco is about opulence and natural shapes – circular couches in bright colours. Blush pink seems to be a particular trend, but really, anything will suit so long as it embodies that vintage lux we seem to be chasing.
