Places to Relax

In a busy culture where everyone is going all of the time, you will start to find that homeowners are looking for places to relax. Purposeful and designed, these spaces are cozy, comfy, and inviting. You may not even want to include a single outlet in this space to help keep it tech free.

Textures

This is the season of natural luxury as you will find organic textures combined with exquisite taste. While you’ll see woven materials like rugs, and baskets being brought into homes, you’ll also find more velvet furniture being brought together as well. This doesn’t just happen with the furniture and accents. Flooring is getting a makeover as well, as terra cotta tile is being introduced into space, along with faux finishes and rich designs. Bone inlays are hitting the market in full force, and will be found among many of the best designs.

Indulgent Accents

Marble and copper were the accents of the last few seasons. Now you’ll find that brass is making a comeback along with the terra cotta textures that we mentioned above. You don’t need to toss the marble countertops though because that texture will never leave. You will start to see less and less of the marble accents and people are moving towards a more earthy feel in their luxurious designs.

Statement Ceilings

Accent walls have been a huge trend over the last decade. From using a bold color on the walls to accenting with shiplap and wood, the style has been a huge craze. This year, though, accent ceilings are being welcomed into the design hall of fame - and we can’t wait to see what you do! From textured wallpaper to tin, embossed foam ceiling tiles, shiplap, wooden beams, bold paint colors, and more!

BONUS: Use Interesting Pieces

Finally, one of the most important trends for 2018 is the use of interesting furniture. None of the pieces have to “match” per se, but they all go together. Mix and match different pieces with textures, colors, and patterns to create a design that works perfectly in your space. Are you looking for furniture at the Lake of the Ozarks?
