Top 5 Design Trends Predicted for 2017
Last week I talked about the Pantone Color of the Year winner, Green, and how it will affect design in 2017 and going forward. (Something I'm personally excited about!) But this week, I thought I would go into trends a little more thoroughly and touch on the Top 5 Design Trends predicted to be big in 2017. I do a lot of reading and researching about design, so when a new year comes around, I'm always interested to know what the experts are predicting will be the new big trends. As I mentioned before, I'm not one to be a slave to trends, but I do like to know what is happening in design in general, and it's always nice to add some aspect of trends in order to keep our interiors from getting stale. The same way we buy a new blouse or a scarf or some other new style in clothing, it's nice to add some small items or accessories that incorporate a new trend in decor without breaking the bank. So let's talk about the Top Five Design Trends that are being talked about the most. These are the ones that are on everyone's radar.
One of the things that seems to be happening, though this isn't a "trend" in the true sense of the word, is that there seems to be a move toward a warmer, lived-in look and away from the minimalist styles we've been seeing for the past few years. And for those of us who never did the mid-century mod, or don't like the cool, sleek, modern styles that have been most popular recently, this is great news! And as you'll see, most of these 2017 trends fit into that overall paradigm change.
1. Velvet
Velvet is a trend that started getting really big last year in fashion, and now it seems to be hopping over to design. It's elegant, and timeless, but it's also cozy and luxurious and speaks to making our homes more comfortable. I'm seeing it in sofas and chairs more than ever, but an inexpensive way of incorporating it into your home would be with pillows. And they can be found almost everywhere, from Pottery Barn to Walmart, and at every price point.
