Interior Design Trends to Expect in 2019

Interior Design Trends to Expect in 2019

A new year inspires a lot of change. Whether it’s an inspiration in goals, mindset, or purpose, there’s never a better time to take things to the next level than during the new year. Design trends are rapidly evolving and 2019 is introducing new styles and ideas. It’s impossible to say what the greatest way to decorate and design your home is, but you can take your ideas and fuse them with the latest trends to create a home that fits you best. If you’ve been thinking about renovating your home or giving it a minor update, now’s the time to invest! Make your new year’s resolutions happen with a change in your living space. Here are some of the many styles and design trends to expect in 2019.Interior Design Trends to Expect in 2019

Interior Design Trends

Random pops of color are what bring life to a simple room. By following the 90% white, 10% color rule, you can create a peaceful environment with a hint of vibrancy to keep the space alive. For example, in a room with white walls and white couches, you can add a buoyant rug, bright lamps, or a lively frame to hang on the wall. Consider creating accent walls. An accent wall can entirely change the feel of a room. You can keep it light and bright, or dark and bold. Either alternative will highlight the personality of the area. You can also do just the opposite by keeping your home plain and simple. There is beauty in simplicity and the less color, the calmer the environment. If you’re seeking to design a peaceful and meditative setting, cut down on the colors and settle for whites or cool grays.

Furniture Trends

There are countless style preferences to consider. Depending on the vibe you want to conceive, furniture will do the job. Geometric patterns have recently become popular. You can invest in geometric patterned draperies or rugs. If you own a solid colored sofa, a set of patterned pillows can capture some attention. Another trend is the innovative use of metal. Using gold, brass, or iron as sculptural based furnishings are one way to create a new look. Handmade custom pieces are yet another way to decorate your home. Nobody knows what you want better than yourself. Being able to design your very own decor can be a fun activity. Frames are one of the easiest ways to transform a room. In a bare space, the power of a striking art frame can make all the difference.

Kitchen and Bathroom Trends

Sometimes, you only want to make drastic changes in some parts of your home. For example, in your kitchen or bathroom. The good thing about these two rooms is their flexibility when it comes to cabinetry, flooring, and countertops. You can explore just about every option. A nice backsplash will add so much character to your kitchen or bathroom. You can even do tall backsplashes that take up an entire wall or simply one section. Another growing trend is matte countertops and cabinets. A black matte finish creates a zen-like feel for your home. You can also design a statement wall for your bathroom or half bath. Whether you use contrast or patterns, let one wall speak for the room as a whole. Some have even considered an open concept bathroom for their master bedroom.

Explore the World of Design

These are just a few of increasingly popular trends that will be brought into 2019. As important as furniture and decor are in the world of interior design, don’t forget about flooring!

Best Kitchen Flooring Options

Best Kitchen Flooring Options

The kitchen is often the highest trafficked area in your home. Depending on the layout of your home, it might be the room that everyone passes through to get from the back porch to the living room to the second floor. Regardless of the layout, however, kitchens are busy; it’s where the food is, after all. Therefore, finding a durable, attractive flooring option for the kitchen is key. Let’s review some of the best kitchen flooring options available.

Best Kitchen Flooring Options

Hardwood

Hardwood flooring has many benefits, including being:

  • More stylish, easier on your feet, and longer-lasting
  • Easier to refinish and re-style to fit with changing interior home decor trends
  • Hardwood flooring often increases a home’s re-sell value

Tile

Tile flooring has similar benefits to hardwood, including durability and increased re-sell value. In addition, tile flooring also has:

  • More color options, including lighter choices like white, cream, and gray
  • Scratch-resistant and waterproof durability

Vinyl

Vinyl flooring is one of the most flexible kitchen flooring options and offers more design choices at a lower price point. Additionally, vinyl flooring offers benefits such as:

  • It is easy-to-clean and durable
  • It is stain resistant, scratch resistant and fade-resistant
  • Different forms that give more design options, such as sheets for a seamless look, tiles, and planks to emulate the look of ceramic flooring or wood

Other Considerations for Kitchen Flooring

One of the other primary concerns when choosing kitchen floors is cost. High-end, luxury flooring can be cost-prohibitive for some families. The trick is to choose flooring that will last longer and is neutral enough to fit in with your design choices even as they change.

Additionally, it’s important to consider your climate – climates with high humidity or a tendency for more rain should look for waterproof options like tile. Hardwood flooring is much more conducive to dryer climates. However, if you are determined to have hardwood and you live in a wet climate, it’s important to note that water damage is relatively easy to repair.

Creative Combo Flooring Trends

The first image in the gallery below is a simple combo with concrete and wood. This organic look is simple yet still honors sustainable design. This combination is perfect for any style home but works best in a modern space.

Aparici double fired tiles and bathroom

Aparici moving tiles double fired show style and elegance. They are not for the faint of heart or those not willing to take a risk. The tiles are busy, but mixing them properly can be a talking piece for guests when entertaining. Bathrooms cannot benefit from mixed material as well as mixed color and seamless transitions. Aparici Waterford Castle Hotel bathroom is a fabulous example using black and white tiles on trend for 2016.

Modern Angle Flooring Trends

Parquet floors have been making strides over the last decade. 2016 will bring floors composed of short trips, unique patterns, and inlays of diverse woods and materials to the forefront.

Tex Hex tiles in porcelain in matte and mixed-finish black and cream by Artistic Tile. These are great for smaller space as they will give an appearance of a larger space. Take note to lay them out in a diverse and random order for a truly unique look. Also, symmetrical large tile pieces can be angled to add a unique style to an otherwise boring space.

Perfect tile trends for 2016

Ceramica Sant’Agostino porcelain tiles can have a grain texture that can portray carpet while still having the durability of tile.
