Everyone has that vision of a perfect home – cozy, trendy, and most of all clean. But because of design trends every now and then, we might find our homes stuffed with unusual things. To make your home more inviting and more relaxing, it is time to declutter or upgrade to more conventional designs. Here are some of the things to stay away from.
Sleek and flat looking rooms
Over the past few years,
modernist interior design tops the list. But modern is almost synonymous to
sleek and flat looking rooms. In short, homes may look monotonous and boring.
For this year, textures, patterns, or anything that break that blunt design is
in. Several designs may include pleat folds and anything that incorporate your
personal style.
Brass
Last year, we saw overkill to
brass designs. Along with warm metallic counterparts like bronze and copper,
brass was a trend back in the 70’s. We
had seen brass incorporated into every kind of furniture we can think of.
However, using brass in almost every corner of your home gives out a very
‘stiff’ and industrialized atmosphere. If you went overboard last year with
brass designs, it is time to throw some of them. Brass fashion can easily come
and go, as long as you don’t go overboard with it, you are good. Rumor has it,
that brass will soon make experience revival.
Brushed Metals
Your main aim should always be
the comfort of your home. Trends for this year lean toward textures and comfy
feel. Stay away from the industrial look and try to minimize gold accents. Look
for shinier metals create a very sophisticated look especially in your
kitchens.
Edison bulbs
Edison bulbs are used to complete
the industrialized look which was popular last year. If you have any of these left hanging from
your ceiling, get rid of it. Opt for a more fitting lighting in your home. You
would want to make your home with a bubblier vibe that will always look
inviting. Not something that came out from a science project.
All Whites
Over the years, all white
kitchens, laundry rooms, and living rooms graced the front covers of home
magazines. It all looks good in the magazine but impractical in the real life,
especially if you have children. Cleaning will be a nightmare. Try to break the
dull colors with textures, patterns, and accents. For this year, navy is the
new black. Incorporate navy colors in some areas of your home to make it look
up to date.
DIY's
DIYs are not really a bad thing
but too having too much of it is not always a good thing. Try to do home
cleanse, and focus on a few pieces of your DIYs in your home to show your
personality. This year is the year for artisans and pieces that show great
skills. Visit Carved Lake Art for some of their unique masterpieces of wood
carved lakes. They are a great décor that will attract attention because of
their high-quality work. Also, Detroit Michigan will be your haven for
paintings and artisan works.
