This time every year, publications share their lists of what trends homeowners should expect to see in interior design concepts for the year to come. If you’ve seen words like “maximalism” or “color drenching” pop up in your favorite magazine or on social media, then one key feature to take away is that many different homes and businesses are continuing to experiment with bold graphic patterns and color.
At Speas Interior Design, one of our design team’s specialties is taking a finish or feature and making it timeless for your space. We always recommend that homeowners interested in design take a look at all of the new ideas that these lists have to offer—but with one caveat in mind: when designing for your home, avoid chasing trends for the sake of having something trendy, and use trends as an opportunity to choose ideas that are truly your style.
Interested in the current trend towards bold spaces with patterns and rich hues? Here are some ways that homeowners are choosing to incorporate more color and texture into their spaces with finishes and furnishings with the help of our team.
Color Drenching with Wall Paint
Color drenching is making movements in modern interior design. This trend is the use of a single bold shade across multiple surfaces in a room—from the walls and trim to the furniture and accessories. Color drenching creates a uniquely enveloping atmosphere that can almost feel like a boutique hotel or art installation.
If you’re drawn to a color that relaxes or energizes you, then our design team can help you select the perfect shade and complementary accents to elevate your space while ensuring it balances with the entirety of your home.
Add A Bold Accent with Your Island Cabinets
Kitchens have long been called the heart of the home, and a generous kitchen island is where much of the activity takes place. Adding a vibrant color on your island cabinets can create a striking focal point that anchors your kitchen design. This approach allows you to incorporate a fun hue to your island’s lower cabinetry without overwhelming the entire space. We recommend that you choose a color that makes a statement and also harmonizes with your overall kitchen design, ensuring a look that you’ll love for years to come.
Accent Your Countertops with Patterns & Colors
Who says countertops must be plain features that blend in to the backsplash? The latest trend in kitchen and bathroom design embraces mixing colorful countertops that add personality to your space. From veined quartz with bold streaks to vibrant quartzite surfaces bursting with color, we have countless options to explore. Select countertops that serve as a unique design element in your kitchen and bathroom spaces and make them a feature you and your family will love.
Take Your Furniture to the Max
Maximalism is a trendy buzzword in interior design, and furniture selection is a big part at what makes this bold trend. The key to mastering this look is balancing different textures, colors, and patterns to create a space that’s visually interesting without feeling chaotic. Think mixing plush velvet sofas in jewel tones with intricately patterned armchairs, or an eclectic mix-and-match dining sets. Our designers excel at curating furniture pieces that reflect your personality while maintaining a cohesive and inviting atmosphere in your home.
Unique Wallcovering Add Layers of Texture
In recent years, we’ve seen wallpaper experience somewhat of a renaissance, offering homeowners even more possibilities to add depth and interest to their walls. From geometric patterns to textured grass-cloth and metallic finishes, today’s wallcoverings are much different than the wallpaper you might remember from decades past. We can show you samples of wallcoverings from the nation’s most respected brands to help you find unique patterns and textures you won’t be able to recreate anywhere else, whether you’re looking to make a bold statement in a powder room or add subtle texture to a living area.
Window Fashions Cap Off The Entire Space
Don’t overlook your windows when planning your complete interior design. Custom window treatments are the perfect opportunity to tie a room together–plus, they are important partners in controlling light and privacy for your home. Whether you’re drawn to Roman shades in a vibrant print or luxurious draperies with a subtle pattern, the right window covering can elevate and protect your entire space. Plus, when paired with a top treatment like a cornice or valance, you can achieve a variety of different looks from ultra-casual to formal.
We Make Trends Into Timeless Features
Bold graphic color and patterns have been used in interior design for hundreds of years—and while some trends may be more or less popular one year versus another, at Speas Interior Design, we recommend our clients avoid chasing what’s trendy and find features that they’ll love for years to come.
