There’s nothing more relaxing than going home to a beautiful house. But as with everything, every glorious detail you put into it will eventually look sort of “old” overtime. If you find yourself skimming through the glossy pages of a magazine looking for the perfect design inspiration, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re in for a total home makeover or just looking for simple ways to spruce up your beautiful abode, here’s a look at some of the trendiest home design this year!

Jewel Tones

A vibrant mix of jewel-colored materials in deep turquoise, emerald green, amethyst, ruby red and citrine definitely take center stage this year. This lush color combo doesn’t only add a dash of interest in any room but it also gives an unapologetically romantic touch. Try to offset the colors with black, grey and white to give them more depth and achieve a more balanced color scheme. It can also be mixed with bold patters to create drama and add more creative twist to the overall look.

Terracotta Tiles

Warm materials like terracotta tiles are now replacing the usual cool and white tones. This one adds a more grounded and homey appeal even for contemporary lux settings. Keep it to matte finish and veer away from something that looks too rustic for that elegant look. It’s best complemented with earthy tones and materials and can be used in your floors, walls–and even ceilings.

Nature-Inspired

Hold on to your succulents; having greenery indoors is still one of the best ways to freshen up your home décor. You can start with a small desk plant or go big with large houseplants—it can be a conversation piece, too! Look for easy-to-care succulents like indoor vines. This trail of green gorgeousness easily adds a romantic and alluring character to any room. Paired with stylish furniture, it simply adds a pop of color and a trendy décor element.

Boho-chic Bedrooms

This trend is all about an eclectic mix of styles and materials. It’s charming, artistic and definitely colorful. If you don’t know where to start, some bohemian accent pieces include vintage furniture and homemade artisan pieces like carved timber bowls and Moroccan tea light holders. Fabrics with beautiful patterns in opulent colors are also a must-have to achieve this look. Don’t forget to add any contemporary tribal artwork to add that striking artistic ambiance.

Marble Tables

For those who are not into punchy, bold hues but still want to add an accent piece, how about adding an elegant flair to your space with a marble table? It looks sleek, timeless and it gives a mesmerizing contrast to any color. Unlike a wooden piece, marble doesn’t get scratched easily, too! While a lot of people think marbles are all about creamy, white stone, you can get more adventurous and choose a dramatic pattern.
