We absolutely love sharing trends and designer tips to help make all your exciting design dreams come true, and we won’t stop now! We’re taking a deeper dive into some of our favorites: here are 4 home décor trends we love, and tips for getting the look just right.
Modern Craftsman
Contemporary Craftsman meets Farmhouse style when a home’s exterior features wood cladding, a covered front porch, and gabled rooflines.
Get the Look:
Add exposed rafter detailing along the porch and dormer eaves for an authentic Craftsman touch. Paint doors a bright color and add vibrant planters to make entryways a welcoming focal point. A hanging lantern on the porch, coordinates with wall lanterns at the doors for beacons of simple and classic style.
Farmhouse
In a refreshed version of the Farmhouse trend, the pared-down feel of this kitchen owes its light and bright look to the completely open, cabinet-less wall above the sink.
Get the Look:
Hang neutral, vintage-feeling artwork, and flank it with adjustable wall sconces such as Hinton for functional flair. Install pendants like over the island with a black-finished frame and wide glass shades to bring together cohesive elements from the black-trimmed window panes. Place bar stools finished in lightly distressed wood trimmed with metal for a refined yet rustic touch.
Industrial
A canvas of exposed brick walls and dark metal-paned windows brings interesting visual and textural elements to a contemporary Industrial space.
Get the Look:
Refine the warehouse look by painting natural brick walls a clean white. Select furniture and accessories with metal and wood elements to play up the minimal yet rugged vibe. Since utility and function are cornerstones of the warehouse look, place an ultra-functional pendant center stage.
Transitional
Masculine and feminine touches balance comfortably in Transitional style homes.
Get the Look:
Accent an airy color palette with interestingly textured décor and add depth with pops of subtle blue. Center the room with a black-framed, classic style chandelier for a strikingly handsome focal point. Finish the look with wall sconces featuring handmade organic glass features that become part of the art on the gallery wall as they cast a naturally beautiful glow.
