We all know trends come and go, but here are some that stand out this season and could be worth a try in your home!
Nontraditional art and lighting
Even though these are two different trends, I’ve grouped them into the same category because they have an underlying commonality; they are both “nontraditional.” Lighting is turning toward LED options and popular art today tends to be oversized and three-dimensional.
Although many are experimenting with elaborate lighting choices, you can try a less risky approach by gathering string lights in a decorative vase or you can try spot lighting focal points in your garden to double up on drama. Art is also evolving and is oversized, 3-D, or both if you’re feeling daring! Both of these styles can be played down by pairing them with traditional furniture or a subdued color pallet.
Mixing Pieces
Mixing pieces has become a favorite new trend for many reasons. First of all, it allows you to use heirloom pieces you might not have found a place for otherwise. Secondly, mixing pieces also allows you to use antique family heirlooms, forge a flea market or build your own piece proving this trend can also be cost effective. And finally, it’s fun! Having no rules while decorating means you can mix not only furniture styles, but also colors and patterns.
