2018 Furniture Trends

Each New Year brings about new trends. When it comes to interior design and furniture, the trend has shifted from eccentric and bold to frugal and practical. This year, interior design is centered on the ideas of comfort without being cheap, eco-friendliness, and warm colors.

If 2018 will be the year that you revamp the interior of your home, you’ll want to know what’s trending and what’s not! Knowing what to look for when you visit your local modern furniture store in Edmonton will make the selection process much easier. Keep reading to learn about this year’s furniture and home design trends.

Nature Tones & Dark Greys

Color plays a huge role in the overall look, feel, and ambiance of a room. This year will be marked by warm earthy colors that bring a little bit of nature indoors. Top colors this year include terracotta, tan, rust, sienna, and russet. Top accent colors for these warm earth-tones include emerald green, black forest, and watermelon red.

These colors can be used in a variety of ways. A dark-rust-colored couch will pop in any room. You could also subtly incorporate earthy tones by using accent pillows and tabletop decorations. If you’re feeling bold, an earthy accent wall will take your room to a whole new level.

Not a fan of earthy tones? Grey is still in, though we’ve moved towards the darker side of the color wheel. Dark grey has become the new black. Darker tones make for eye-catching accents in a white or cream room. This is a nod to the monochromatic look but in a much more gentle and calm manner. Use a dark grey accent wall, throw pillows, or even a rug to incorporate this color into your home.

Browns

When you walk into a brown or beige-colored room, you automatically feel comfortable and a sense of warmth. Though the color isn’t as dramatic as jewel tones or greys, its ability to bring a sense of calm and serenity to a room makes it the ideal choice for family rooms and bedrooms.

On the surface, brown may be boring, but, with the right accents, the color can bring a room to life. For your walls, go with highly touted colors such as Bar Harbor Beige from Benjamin Moore, Natural Linen from Glidden, or Rustic Taupe from Behr. These colors are modern yet homey enough for rooms of all sizes.

Sticking with the brown theme, dark wood is another 2018 trend to keep in mind. Deep chocolate brown and almost black hues bring a touch of modernism without going overboard. Cork and bamboo also work well with a cozy brown room. To keep your room interesting, pair it with beiges, spa blues, deep creams, and light rust colors. A deep brown couch with orange or blue pillows will pop in any room. With warm lighting and cozy rugs, pillows, and throws, you can create a room designed around comfort.

Global Minimalist

One style that will take 2018 by storm is the global minimalist. This design incorporates global connection with travel and tribal themes. The new trend has had a huge impact on the materials and colors that will dominate interior design. Earthy colors, feathers, wood, baskets, and leather are all in this season. Even unique textures and tones like metal and concrete can be used alongside the global minimalist style.

You can make rustic meet contemporary in your home by using earth-tone furniture. Look for pieces that incorporate wooden or metal legs. You may also find accent pillows and throws that are earthy or use global minimalist patterns and textures.

Eco-Friendly Design

Going green has been a trend for years now but, in 2018, it’s become one of the go-to looks for interior design. When you think of the environment, you think of green, so it’s no surprise that this look embraced olive, emerald, sage, and other shades of green.

What’s more environmentally conscious than live plants? Air plants, succulents, and other easy-to-maintain botanicals have become household favorites. Not only do plants add a touch of nature to your room, plants are beneficial in that they reduce stress, lower background noise, improve air quality, and increase humidity.

Unique textures and materials including wood, cork, linen, bamboo, and even concrete can transform any room in your home. Try a soft neutral toned couch and pair it with a natural wood or concrete table, a faux-animal fur rug, and nature-themed pillows and accents.

Embrace Coziness

Another top trend this year is the use of modern yet comfortable furniture. For many consumers, modern furniture lacks the comfort of a big fluffy couch. In 2018, furniture designers have combined modern looks with the plush and comfort that you want from living room and family room furniture. Some modern furniture has even been designed with curves!

Curved and plush furniture focuses on restoration and nurturing while also providing maximum comfort. This year is a year of relaxation, rest, and reconnecting. If you want to transform your room into a modern living space that’s still practical, look for a low couch with plenty of padding and plush pillows.

Vintage Luxe Glamour

While minimalistic styles and earth-tones are popular in 2018, vintage luxe glamour is also making a comeback. This decadent home design trend isn’t as glossy or flashy as past trends. Today’s luxe glamour embraces vintage looks but brings them to modern times.

Jewel tones, tufted and quilted furniture, metallics, velvet fabrics, and rich warm hues are in but with an added richness.

With a modern vintage glamour look, your home will have a one-of-a-kind look that embraces old styles without looking drab and outdated.
