Home Decorating: What to Expect in 2017

Home Decorating: What to Expect in 2017

Welcome to the New Year! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season.

Did you “deck your halls” during the holidays? Have you started packing or perhaps have already packed all the holiday decorations away? If your halls and walls are looking especially drab to you now, then it may be a good time to give your home a makeover.

Each New Year brings its own new set of home decorating trends, and there is usually something for everyone. It’s up to you to decide what’s hot, and what’s not!

Here are a few home decorating trends to expect in 2017:

1. Going green (as in the color!)

If you’re a fan of the color green then you’re in luck. Green is a gorgeous color that can be used to decorate any room of your house. Whether you choose to use green as an accent or for larger furniture items, this color is sure to add a dramatic effect. For inspiration, check out the color, “Greenery,” which has been named the 2017 Pantone Color of the Year.

2. Texture

One trend involves adding layers of textured fabrics, art and wall treatments to enhance a room’s decor. Textures instantly add an extra dimension to otherwise plain or neutral rooms.

3. Ceramics            

Beautiful ceramic pieces never go out of style, really, and have been used as decorations for decades. By adding ceramic vases to wall hangings and more, adding ceramics is yet another way you can spruce up your home.

4. Mixed Patterns

Have you always wanted to mix up your stripes and solids with mismatched patterns? This is the year you can finally do so - and get away with it! Who knows how long this trend will be hot, but for now, there’s no such thing as décor that’s too “busy.”

5. Fashionable Faux

These days, it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between real and faux finishes in home décor. Not only do faux materials look as good as their genuine counterparts, but they are often more budget-friendly and reliable as well.
