Hunter Green Color Scheme
Going green hasn’t looked this appealing since the last time it was a hue of choice for interior decorators around the globe in the early to mid-90’s. Less naive than retro inspired avocado and lime green, hunter green brings with it an air of authority, strength, and good luck.

Botanical Prints & Tropical Wallpaper
No, we aren’t contemplating a throwback to The Golden Girl’s home. More so the retro-camp cool of the infamous Beverly Hill’s Hotel and New York City’s legendary Indochine restaurant with both iconic addresses featuring oversized, lush botanical wallpaper.
To update the look, we suggest incorporating small hints of botanical prints and fabrications such as an accent wall here, a series of framed prints there.

Block Prints
Handsome yet thoroughly gender neutral, geometric block prints are certain to add a sense of polished elegance to any space thanks to their clean lines, symmetry, and repetitive patterns.
One of the least timely interior design trends of late, this is one movement you can easily master with throws and pillows to full-on wall-coverings and accessories.

Geometric Accent Tables
Who doesn’t love nesting tables? Easy to move, usually much less expensive than larger furnishings and chalk full of visual interest, small geometric tables add a sense of the abstract and come in a variety of finishings in every color imaginable.

Velvet Furnishings
Often associated with dark, brooding men’s club decor and Victoriana, velvet upholstery hasn’t been popular since the early 60’s for many a good reason. What makes it seem so viable today is a combination of modern silhouettes and hues like the much-talked-about millennial pink and hunter green - not to mention the fabrications durable qualities.

Statement Rugs
Though the room illustrated above boasts an enviable accumulation of statement-making furnishings, notice how Paul Smith’s flooring for The Rug Company works to not only tie everything together but also enhances the room with a riotous swirl of color.
If you’re as tired of seeing rooms with a now generic white and black geometric rug as we are, consider looking for rugs that are unexpected in tones and shapes.

Lagom
Following the popularity of Swedish design style Hygge, Lagom is one of 2018’s most prolific interior design trends. A subtle decorating technique, Logom is about mastering the perfect balance of old and new, spareness and layers. Think simple yet beautiful, lived in and well-curated spaces according to your own tastes and home’s personality.
This Scandinavian style strikes the perfect balance between minimalism and maximalism, resulting in a sparse, calming space that remains warm and comfortable. Simple steps to bring the movement into your home include bringing outdoor elements indoors, utilizing soothing hues, taking advantage of small nooks with decorative details, and removing one item from each room to create just the right balance.
