Between performance
fabrics, new ways to pay
closer attention to detail
and market favorite items,
there will be plenty of ways
to make your dreams come
to life in 2019.
IntroductionFollowing the latest trends during a
home update offers a refreshing and
relevant touch to home design. Personal
decorators who keep abreast of the
upcoming direction of colors, decor,
textures and lifestyle designs can help
keep living spaces fun and fresh.

While everyone will have his or her
personal preference when it comes to
color, you can make a choice based on
trending shades and hues.
Blue is classic but current. From deep
navy and cobalt to soft sea glass,
different shades of blue can be used
in a neutral theme or the focal point
to liven up a living space. This color
can be used on the walls, but also
in fabrics on furniture and window
treatments.
Since “Greenery” became Pantone’s
Color of the Year in 2017, green
has continued to gain strength and
popularity across creative industries.
This coming year, green is the richest
color. Shades of sage, eucalyptus
and emerald can be used throughout
the home, but will be seen greatly
throughout outdoor living spaces.

Blush
Pastels have always been a
popular springtime color, but the
recent obsession with millennial
pink has made blush a color to
look forward to and consider
year-round. This shade can make
a huge statement as a wall color,
but also be used as an accent
hue throughout the home.
Gray is a neutral tone that has
always been adored by many,
and this color will remain trending
well into 2019. Gray can be used in
everything from upholstery fabrics
and wall coverings to washes on
chests and tables.
Black, white, red, purple and
gold are accent colors to use this
coming year as well. Each color can
be used to add a touch of luxury to
a living space.

PATTERNS, TEXTURES AND
PERFORMANCE FABRICS
While color remains
a high talking point,
pattern and texture use
is also important.
Patterns – especially botanicals –
whether for wall coverings, rugs, or
fabrics – can add personalization to
any design scheme. When it comes
to furniture, performance fabrics
are trending. The idea of placing
furniture in the home that is not only
fade and stain resistant, but also well
designed, will also be very appealing
going forward.
Textures and natural
elements will make a big
statement in 2019. From
reclaimed wood tables and
natural stone to shells and
rope, a variety of textures
can be used in any theme
as accents and accessories
throughout the home.

While a classic item, accent and
side tables are helping designers
and homeowners get more creative
in room arrangement and style.
As the “open concept” design
remains popular, the idea of floating
furniture becomes more relevant.
More often seating arrangements
are gravitating towards the center
of the room, making side tables a
necessary complement. Accent
tables not only come in many
design styles, but are trending in
home and décor design and are
available in many unique varieties.
ACCENT TABLES
AND UNIQUE ITEMS
Functional and stylish
storage cabinets,
upholstered ottomans, and
glass and silver chairs are
gaining popularity and can
be used as statement pieces
in a living room update.
66
Certainly, color, patterns and textures
throughout furniture and accessories
will be top of mind for those who are
redesigning or decorating a space.
But all of these elements can flow
flawlessly together with a well thought
out lifestyle design or room theme.
LIFESTYLE DESIGNS
What is it that influences the look and feel of a living space? Perhaps it’s children or grandchildren.
Maybe it’s love for travel and
geography. Or, it could be the idea of
creating a personal oasis based on
achieving the ultimate level of comfort.
No matter what you’re looking to get
out of a home refresh, the following
lifestyle designs are the top trending
choices to look forward to.

Popular design television shows
may be the underlying reason this
upward trending design scheme
has gained so much popularity
over the years, and it’s only going
to continue becoming a
strong talking point between
designers and homeowners.
Very similar to country design
with a modern twist, farmhouse
design incorporates shabby
chic touches with various
natural wood accents to aid a
cozy and stylish feel. Textured
fabrics and leathers are great for
furniture, area rugs and window
treatments with this theme.
The foundation of
farmhouse design starts
with a neutral color
palette. Earthy tones
like gray, green, tan and
brown flourish here.
Clean and simple lines
are vital as well.
FARMHOUSE AND RUSTIC
88
Midcentury modern is a
design scheme that’s been
popular for years – and it
isn’t going anywhere.
This minimalistic style is made up of
straight-forward silhouettes, organic
shapes and quiet fabrics that mimic a
clean, retro feel inspired by 50s and 60s
home decor and arrangement.
It’s a mixture of clean fine lines made of
wood and rusty metals complemented
by pops of colors like bold blues and
rich green. There’s also an emphasis
on functionality – furniture that’s
buildable, foldable and stackable but
also comfortable is key in creating a
midcentury modern feel.
MIDCENTURY MODERN
This style is most
commonly seen in the
living room and family
room, but can flourish
throughout a house
for a seamless setup.
99
You may confuse contemporary
home design with midcentury
modern, but the two are not
one and the same. While
midcentury modern is an
updated version of retro style,
contemporary is all about what’s
current, fresh and evolving.
This means what’s considered
contemporary now might
transition to midcentury modern
somewhere down the road or just
soon be dated.
This trending design
style is made up mostly
of clean, open space,
taking a hint at the
minimalist approach.
CONTEMPORARY
Furniture pieces show
off exposed legs and
contemporary materials like
metal and glass are used
throughout the space.
While this style tends to be the least chosen by homeowners, it’s gaining recent popularity thanks to those who are forward thinking about energy efficiency – design strategies that keep accents and accessories to a minimum allow for natural cooling and ventilation throughout the home.

While this theme can
make up any room, you
may best consider it for
an indoor sunroom, or
perhaps the outdoor
patio – two spaces that
can be turned into a
private backyard oasis
seamlessly.

While some love going on vacation
every few months, others want
to feel like they’re soaking up the
sun in a calming oasis year-round.
That’s where coastal interior design
comes into play. This style features
a light and airy atmosphere made
up of colors, patterns and textures
reminiscent of the ocean’s breezy,
cool environment.
The common color palette of the
coastal living theme is inspired by the
sea, such as light blues and greens,
which is then offset by gorgeous
creams and neutrals that set the
relaxing tone of the room. From
highlight shells, rattan and seascape
beach accents, various on-brand
accessories can be used to complete
the ocean vibe.
COASTAL LIVING
11
Some may be on the fence about a
lifestyle theme because there’s a piece
of artwork or family treasure they just
can’t fathom moving out of their living
space. Instead of starting from scratch
with an idea that doesn’t fit your
wants and needs, you may consider a
comfortable elegance theme.
It’s not quite contemporary, but also
not traditional – comfortable elegance
is a transitional design style. It’s the
combination of metals, dark colors
light colors and those sentimental
pieces that couldn’t be left out of the
design scheme.
COMFORTABLE ELEGANCE
This is an ideal option for those who are ready to upgrade a room in the home, but may be struggling with the idea of committing to a solid theme.
12
With these trending colors, materials and lifestyle designs,
you can transform an outdated space into something fresh
and inviting. Of course, you should add your own personality
to the space, but professional assistance can help you make
decisions that are trendy, stylish and functional.
