Trend #1: Jewel toned palettes
Rich color furniture makes the room feel more alive. Jade, ruby and other jewel toned colors are making a comeback in a big way. It is adding spice to what we have seen in years past with creams and grays. Target’s Opal House is a great economical example of the jewel trend.

Trend #2: Mixed metals as accents
This season is full of matte gold hardware and light fixtures. And, we are not talking about brassy gold from the ‘90s. This is a NEW gold. We love it!

Trend #3: Dark, wood pieces and colors
Dark side tables, console tables, coffee tables and even wall art feel classic and can be used in any space. We love their functionality and timeless beauty. This season, black is making a comeback. Black ceilings and accent walls are classic and bold. Which is why we also LOVE this trend for staging!

Trend #4: Pattern Play
You will see this in the form of wall paper and tile. It is so beautiful and mixes up a space with mosaic. We are seeing patterned tile in bathrooms and laundry rooms. And we also see the patterned wallpaper in powder rooms or on accent walls.

Trend #5: Fringe is everywhere!
We are seeing more and more fringe on throw pillows, blankets, lamps and wall art. We are seeing other similar accents like tassels and feathers too. Word of caution: these are fun, but don’t overuse them! A Little goes a long way!
