Raw White

Raw White:

Believe it or not, the all-white aesthetic has made the one of the top trends in 2017. It has become difficult to escape all-white homes and décor. Whether you love it or hate it, the effects of this trend are astounding which has caused quite the controversy. Long before the contemporary trend came up with its take on raw white, beautiful Greek, Moroccan and Scandinavian interiors utilized white walls for its sense of minimalism, and contrasted with colorful textiles and artwork. Now, raw white does not only reflect wall color, but a chalky or bone white quality seen in homeaccents. The organic and raw feel of these accents are great for balancing out a really vibrant space.

Vases:

A home accent that does raw white justice is definitely a beautiful white vase. The Kaemon vase has naturally flowing swirls that have a wonderful organic feel. You can also opt for a vase that says “minimal fuss” and gives maximum impact with a clean and simple shape. The Daemyn vase can wow on its own, with its simple cylindrical shape.

Picture Frames:

Picture frames are not only a way to treasure memories via a quality framework, but it’s also a means to add style and substances to the picture. The Baback frame features a beautiful organic white with ribbed detailing that brings out quite the snappy texture. Another elegant frame is the Kaelem, as its glazed ceramic surface is buzzing with a clean vibe that is worthy of the raw white principle.

White organic throws:

Finally, another accent to complete the raw white look in your home is a delightful throw that is reminiscent of a ribbed sweater knit. The Clarence throw has a chic and classic appeal features a thick fringe that is full of texture.

The all-white trend will remain beloved for years to come, as it has already been around for quite some time. What do you think about this trend?

Textures

Textures:

Weave some texture into your home this year. The idea of incorporating more texture stems from the intent that mixing fabrics and materials will cause your space to be more inviting. Texture is definitely on the rise. Designers are emphasizing the importance because texture is making an appearance in various forms, from metals, to fabrics and wallpapers. Test this trend by throwing a mix of fabrics used for your decorative pillows, or highlight the contrast of a leather chair by draping a wool throw. Let’s take a look at how texture can make its way into your home.

Light fixtures:

Contrary to popular belief, texture does not only apply to fabrics. Texture can also apply to beautiful warm metals like copper, brass and rose gold. Another sought after metal is the very popular industrial black or burnished tones. That being said, the color and appearance of metals can also add texture to a space. This can be achieved with a stylish lightfixture! It is just another way to show off your design sensibility.

Throws:

Who doesn’t love to nestle below a comfortable throw? Whether it’s light organic cotton, a richly textured woven acrylic, or ever so soft plush polyester, make your home more alluring with the right throw that appeals to your senses. Throws come in a variety of colors, textures and weaves. Depending on the look you are trying to achieve, the style may differ but the result is the same – your home will be more inviting.

Seating:

Last but not least, seating can also vary in texture. Whether it is diningroom seating or living roomseating, textures differ in terms of upholstery and leather. There are endless combinations, therefore choosing the right texture should be geared toward your personal style and way of life.

Since texture is appearing in almost any form, it is clear that it has become very significant in the home. Make sure to include it in your home décor choices!

Upcoming Furniture Trends

Furniture trends tend to shift more slowly than things like colors, decor, and more. But, they casually and effectively do change over the years. While some pieces will remain timeless, others will eventually fall out of fashion. Even still, some will fall away and come back. So, how can you stay on trend with your own home furniture? Know what to look for in upcoming trends, and think about how they’ll work for your home in the long run.

In the next year or so, there are several upcoming trends to look out for. One of the most prominent will be a sort of ‘glamourous’ feel to things. People want to feel as though they’re surrounded in luxury. Look for high-end design at affordable prices when furniture starts to follow this trend. Metallics, and sleek black modernism will also come into play. This tends to go hand in hand with the idea of luxury. Many people believe that things like clean lines and darker colors add a sense of minimalistic luxury to any home.

Also on trend in the next year is a style that has continued to grow in recent years, and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon: Shabby chic. The rustic, distressed, farmhouse way of decorating your home has blossomed in popularity over the past few years, and furniture manufacturers are taking notice. Look for more and more brand new furniture to have a distressed or weathered look. It can provide a fine balance between something new having a more homey, comfortable touch. If you’re not ready to fully embrace the distressed trend, a few rustic accent pieces can work well in almost any room.

While these upcoming trends couldn’t be more opposite, they both are likely to show an increase in popularity over the upcoming year or two. Remember, your style and taste should reflect your personality, and the feeling you want people to have when they walk into your home.

Accent chair:

The “Clarinda” accent chair is the perfect blend between a classic slipper chair and a traditional wingback chair.
