As the years go by, trends in various industries come and go and the home décor industry is no different. One day, we’re all after minimalistic, earthy, and subdued tones, and the next, bright neon colors and bold prints are all the rage. How does one keep up with these sudden changes when they’ve already established a home décor style of their own?
Fortunately, it is relatively easy to incorporate trendy design elements into your home décor without completely breaking the bank or having to start from scratch. Here are a few tips on how to do so:
Play with (temporary) textures
Textures are a great way to add dimension and character to a living space without having to change the fundamental architecture of the room. Adding a shaggy rug, some faux fur throws or even some textured cushions to your otherwise minimalist sofa set can do wonders for your home décor. The best part is that these elements can easily be replaced or swapped out if you get tired of them or when they’re no longer on trend.
Bring in some greenery
There’s something about indoor plants that simply elevates the look of any living space, and luckily, they are always in style. From hanging plants to potted succulents, adding greenery to your home décor instantly breathes life into the room and is a great way to stay up-to-date with the design trends.
Incorporate statement lighting fixtures
Lighting can completely transform the character of a room, and when it comes to trendy design elements, statement lighting fixtures are the way to go. Whether it’s a sleek pendant light over your dining table or a unique floor lamp in the corner of your living room, opting for a bold lighting fixture immediately adds a focal point to the room and is a stylish update.
Experiment with bold prints
Bold prints are certainly not for everyone, but incorporating them through smaller elements like cushions, curtains, and throw blankets is an easy way to add a pop of color while still keeping your overall décor subdued. From animal prints to botanical motifs, there are plenty of prints to choose from that are currently on-trend.
Get playful with your wall décor
Gone are the days when a simple white wall was enough to pass as the ultimate “home décor.” More and more people are opting for experimental wall décor, whether it’s in the form of a bold accent wall or a gallery arrangement of various prints and artwork. Play around with different arrangements and see what works best for your living space.
In conclusion, incorporating trendy design elements into your home décor is all about balance. You don’t want to overdo it and end up with a cluttered and visually overwhelming living space. Instead, opt for simple yet effective updates, and don’t be afraid to experiment with what works best for you. Through a few of these updates, your home will be quickly brought up-to-date and will have a fresh new look.
