If you’re considering refreshing your home’s appearance, keeping up with current trends is a great starting point. Fortunately, the home design realm has been dynamic lately, offering ample opportunities for personalized style, nods to vintage trends, and luxurious fixtures featuring bold colors, mixed metal finishes, and ultra-durable designs.
According to Forbes, it feels important to start any home decor trend roundup with the biggest overall trend we’re seeing—people designing their homes based largely on their personal tastes and lifestyles. Nearly everyone we consulted with mentioned just how personal home design is becoming, which is why “personal” is the common denominator among these trends. People are paying more attention to their specific at-home needs, and their decor choices model the shift.
“This year, we are seeing more and more that creating a space that you want to live in, and that feels personalized is what’s important,” says Alex Yacavone, design studio manager, trend and color, material & finish at Kohler Co. “Whether [you do] that through bold colors or finding a connection to nature through neutrals, your space is yours to create.”
Just a few of the examples we’ve seen of truly personal home design are bucking traditional colors and opting for bold designs in spaces like bathrooms and kitchens, backyards with larger-than-life entertainment spaces based on how homeowners like to host and niche spaces like coffee stations or wine cellars.
