Emily Happy
Have you ever walked into a space and felt immediately at home? Comfortable? Enveloped in mood and character? Welcome home to an essential interior trend: homecoming. Take note of textures, colors and patterns that bring you joy. Seeking invigoration? What colors and patterns energize you? Chasing relaxation? Select furnishings and accessories that soothe you. With you and your favorites as a touchstone, let’s explore five new trends to transform your home and the ambiance you create.
1. Sustainability
Composing a space that uses aesthetically pleasing materials is a natural, and so is doing it with natural materials. Sustainably harvested, recyclable, reclaimed, eco-friendly—the buzzwords are out there, and for good reason. In the outdoor-loving Northwest, harmony with nature is a popular value to incorporate into our homes.
3. Statement Ceilings
Forget accent walls. Bring on the statement ceilings. Give your ceilings some love with wallpaper or paint, and create a unique surprise that’s above the norm.
4. Retro
From ’60s Bohemian to the glittery ’70s, retro continues to inspire. It’s a bold, confident vibe with era-specific shapes and textures. Select a few strong pieces that carry a distinct feel, and remember the unique lamp and lighting options.
5. Multifunctionality
Busy lives require flexibility and innovation. Why not expect the same from our furniture? Brought to the fore with the rising popularity of tiny homes, multifunctionality is also simply about thoughtful design that fits into dynamic lifestyles. A stool that’s also a side table that’s also a tray? And oh, they also stack together? Yes, please!
2. Soft and Rich
Find luxury in soft seating arrangements. Sofas, armchairs and ottomans are coming oversized, rounded and velvety. Combine with marble, glass or metals like brass, copper, silver and gold for an aristocratic look.
