2018 Design Trends

2018 is the year of glamor, luxury, and investment pieces. According to new reports  from Eporta and WGSN, opulent pieces like Ottomans, velvet, and dark wood number among the top search terms in interior design. A major rising star in design this year is velvet. Searches for velvet have increased by 400 percent in the last half year, according to these reports, which could be due to a desire for tactility. Luxury is all about indulging the senses, so it makes sense that consumers are looking for fabrics that are pleasant to the touch like velvet and suede, which is also on the increase. Moreover, the trends for deep and bold colors translate quite well in velvet.

Speaking of color, red has proven the most popular color ever on Eporta with buyers revealing an increased appetite for bld maximalism and dramatic opulence. Over the past three months, the fastest growing colors are orange and yellow, and modern interiors enthusiasts are more and more adopting an “anything goes” attitude. Living areas are becoming more vibrant, splashing with bold prints, colors, and fabrics. Furniture, too, is shifting towards the more luxurious end and away from previous years of minimalism. For the first time ever on Eporta, Ottomans and pouffes have become the most popular search terms. When it comes to updating your home, Angela Neel Interiors is one of the top interior designers Winter Park FL has to offer.

Over the last half year, sales and searches of the bar console has also increased, which is part of the continuous trend of the home being a space for socializing and entertainment. Hard benches have declined 50 percent in search terms, perhaps due to their utilitarian lack of comfort. Mirrors, however, top the interiors marketplace most searched list, with variations as art, statement pieces, or in alternative finishes and colors. In fact, marble and glass finishes are on the rise. The more dramatic and rustic copper has topped bronze and gold, and while wood remains popular, lighter hues are out and more dramatic dark finishes are the thing to choose for 2018.
