The recent period brings refreshing trend changes in home design and styling. Leading magazines in the field point to three main styles that will dominate the coming year. We gathered the top 3 trends with lots of examples and useful tips for immediate application.
This year is influenced, of course, by previous years, and therefore, the social and global changes in recent years have led people to seek a connection to nature, stability, harmony, and balance. The desire for stability in an era of uncertainty is notably evident in the colors, materials, and textures used by designers. We took 3 central styles and tried to simplify them as much as possible with easy examples that can be implemented in any home. Here's how to do it right.
- Organic and Natural Design
What is it? Design that emphasizes connection to nature through natural materials, neutral colors, and live plants.
How to implement? Use materials like recycled wood, natural stone, and bamboo. Add household plants like large pots (Monstera or Ficus) alongside small succulents and natural textiles: jute rugs, organic cotton pillows, and linen curtains.
Use shades of sand, brown, and olive green for room design and focus on furniture with a raw and simple look.
The living room in the picture, for example, combines recycled wood furniture, Monstera and Ficus pots, a jute rug, and beige tones. The soft lighting combined with the natural materials highlights the connection to nature and a calm atmosphere.
- Warm Minimalism
What is it? A minimalist style that incorporates warm elements to add a homely and pleasant feeling.
How to implement? Choose a soft color palette of beige, cream, and white, and combine with warm items like earth-toned pillows or textured rugs. Reduce the amount of furniture and accessories in the room and invest in a few but high-quality accessories that add warmth. Complete with yellowish lighting for a soft atmosphere.
The living room in the picture is designed in neutral shades of beige and white, with a modular sofa, a rug with a soft texture, and pillows in warm tones. Accessories like a small plant and a wooden tray add warmth to the minimalist style.
- Neo-Vintage
What is it? A style that mixes vintage design with modern touches and new technologies.
How to implement? Use furniture from the 70s style, like leather armchairs in cognac tone or coffee tables with metal legs. Add designed wallpapers with geometric patterns, alongside smart technology in design, such as app-controlled lighting. The style combines original vintage items with new furniture with a modern look. Suitable accessories like mirrors with golden frames or brass lamps will blend well with items of emotional value, like framed family photos. The living room in the picture illustrates the style accurately.
Home design in the current period aims to convey feelings of balance, calm, and comfort, while emphasizing connection to nature, warmth, and authenticity. It embodies the need for people to find a peaceful and pleasant refuge within their home. The styles are essentially a realization of the simple desire we all have at the end of the day: to come home to a warm, pleasant, and embracing retreat. No matter how you choose to design and in what style, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in design brings calm and tranquility to the home's inhabitants. Feel free to try.
