Following trends can be a fun way to decorate your space, but if you follow them too strongly, you may look back in a few years and wish for an update. However, there are ways that you can take the trends of today and make the timeless for your home and style, which is exactly what the team at John Elliott Interiors intends to do. 2018 is filled with bold colors, luxurious textures, romantic accents, and natural materials. This is truly a timeless style, so with a little bit of tweaking to make it yours, you can find something that you will LOVE - at least until the next trend that sparks your interest hits the market!

Dramatic Colors

While white, gray, and beige walls have been all of the rage for many years now, you may start to notice “moody” wall colors in homes now. From dark grays to black and navy blends, you may start to notice that wall colors are getting darker. If you’ve always dreamt of using a dark color in your Lake of the Ozarks home, now is the time to be brave and do it! You’ll want to try it in a room that is flooded with light or maybe just on an accent wall. If you aren’t sure what shade would be perfect for your space, come speak with our decorators, they can help you choose the best and most dramatic shade.

Heart of Stone

The kitchen is the heart of the home, so they say, and if you pay attention to rising trends, you’ll notice that stone textures are making a grand entrance in this well-used room! One of the most unique ways you may see stone appear in a kitchen is on the sink. While stainless steel and ceramic sinks have been the most wanted, soapstone is starting to make a grand appearance. Plus, it also stands up well to most cleaners.

Geometric Shapes

You’ll be seeing the geometric shapes all over the home, from the tile in the bathroom to ceiling paper in fun colors. This is a very trendy design style, and something that you may want to change in the future, BUT, if you love it now, tear are ways you can incorporate it without doing an overhaul on your space. You can look for rugs with geometric shapes, pillow, or even tableware. If you still want to incorporate the shapes in a more permanent way, you can get the wallpaper to accent a wall. It’s not permanent but can still add a fun texture.

Luxurious Materials

While you may see more rustic materials on the market like concrete or sun bleached wood, you will also notice that velvet furniture and fringe accents are making an appearance in homes. While these may not be for everyone, you can also make use of the luxurious materials by adding more vintage brass accents and lighting fixtures can’t add the impeccable style.

Bold Colors

In an age where white and gray ruled the color palette, we are seeing BOLD color schemes hit the stage. If you’ve always dreamt of including a bright mustard yellow into your home, or a romantic blush pink, or bright, fiery red - you will be seeing a LOT of options now. These colors go from the furniture to the accents, and even wall colors, so don’t be afraid to let your favorite colors shine brightly.

Did you know that red furniture is all the rage this year??

Interior decorating is a culmination of creating a space that you love, while also making sure that it functions properly. The space is generally filled with colors, patterns, styles, and pieces that all showcase what’s important to you and what you love. One of the best parts of re-decorating a Lake of the Ozarks home is using pieces that are there to make a statement. These unique pieces can be the artwork on your walls to the furniture that you choose. No matter what the statement is, we want to help you find just the right piece. While John Elliott Interiors is filled with beautiful and luxurious patterns and pieces, we also have a few really unique items that you aren’t going to find just anywhere!

Safety First! 

If you thought that this chair and ottoman set looked like it was made from seatbelts, you would be right! This piece is SO unique, and we love when something especially cool comes into the showroom. The bright color, unique pattern, and practicality of this piece make it perfect for many different spaces. From an entertainment room, in-home theater, or teenagers room, there are plenty of spaces that could be made better by a piece like this.

The Bomber Dot Com

Does this piece look familiar to you? If you look close, it may remind you of a Bomber Jacket. That’s because it is! We love a fashionable piece of furniture that is really made from something other than what it started. If you’re looking for a unique piece for your home, you should start at our furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks. This piece combines texture, color, and style to create something very unique and special. The smooth texture of the leather and the warmth of the fuzzy cushion can be perfect for a sitting room or study. The open framework makes it great for smaller rooms because it can help keep them feeling open. While the sleek metal frame is an ideal combination with the other warm materials that make up this incredibly fashionable piece.

Buckets of Laughs

This piece was featured in our showroom, and really made quite the statement. It’s unique in the fact that it’s made up of paint buckets! As a modern piece of wall art, it’s a great way to appreciate individual style, color, and texture. Sometimes unique pieces can be found in the most unlikely places, but we love when they show up around here! Sometimes our art is made from artisans around the country, while others are found right around the corner. If you’re looking for something that sparks joy and creativity - you’re certain to find it at our interiors store at the Lake of the Ozarks.

If you’re looking for a new look this season, here are a few things that will have everyone swooning!

Charcoal & Honey

The deep richness of charcoal and matte blacks are being painted on the walls in homes across the country. While this may seem a bit dramatic, when combined with the light, warm shades of honey - you’ll find that they counterbalance each other effectively. You have to be a little edgy to appreciate the dramatics of this style - but we have a feeling you’ll LOVE it once it’s in your home.
