Here are the top 5 home design trends to watch and follow this year.

Past entries: Trend #1

Trend #2 - Utilizing intriguing vintage displays
The lives of vintage displays never stop in a year or more. They are to stay for decades. What make them long-lasting design elements are the intriguing factors behind their existence. Whether they are cabinets, frames, and other vintage pieces, they will surely become great conversation starters among guests. The appeal of vintage art will also fuse with what other interior designers call as urban nostalgia. Figurative and abstract paintings will also become more popular wall displays.

Trend #3 - Appreciating the beauty of layering
Wood, metal, and fabric will become more prominent in layers. More of their appealing combinations will be seen in many parts of the house particularly the living room. The differences in their colors and textures will be great to play with. Considering the beauty and appeal of fabric designs and prints, they will become great accents to wood and metal furniture. When it comes to wood, the less expensive and knotty varieties will become competitors of the expensive fine-grained woods like white oak and walnut. Apart from their use in cabinets, they will also become prominent in floor and wall panels.
