Trend 2: Bold Appeal

• Graphic design motifs featuring impactful color combinations  in medium to large scale
• Transitional, contemporary or traditional design inspirations

From dark and moody to vibrant and bold, colorful design is gaining favor among some homeowners ditching safe, neutral palettes to create more daring, dramatic spaces.

Bold furnishings

An often overlooked but essential component of design is the furniture. Creating a colorful, inviting room doesn’t stop with the walls and floors; what’s in the room can bring the colors to life. Think of the space and all its contents not just the architectural components as your canvas for creating the space you envision. If you’re hesitant to invest in a pricy couch in a trendy hue, a compromise might come in the form of a richly colored accent table or chair.

Trend 3: Design with Black & White

• Create stunning and dramatic decor , maximize the decorating statement.
• Black adds a focal point that grounds, anchors and adds sophisticated look to a room.
• Get real drama and spark, pair black with white.

Black in accessories, light fixtures, trims, paint, or in one bold piece of furniture will help to catch the eye and sharpen any decorating scheme. It will serve as an outline that sets off specific areas or objects.

Black by itself is striking.

If you're afraid of using just black and white, add variety by using areas of yellow, pink, camel, red, or purple for a striking look. Keeping black and white prominent, however, preserves the elegant effect.



You can even add an accent chair in a brilliant color for a true visual explosion.



Rugs and Decor

Rugs and decor are a great place to integrate gray into the color scheme, if that’s something you’re interested in doing. There are also amazing examples of black and white photography, wall panels, and abstract pieces.
