Home Decor Trends for 2018
Now that the new year has arrived, it is time to take a look at the year ahead and decide which trends we will pick up and which ones we will pass on. Interior designers are already putting out their predictions for the year on what they expect to see emerging and retiring in 2018.
We are here to provide another approach. Relying on data from Pinterest’s platform, where millions of users have pinned, or saved, their favorite things—from food and fitness to clothing and home decor— we have what Pinterest deems as the top 10 home decor trends for 2018.
Resort-Inspired Style
Even if life doesn’t always allow us to escape to a tropical island, everybody is dreaming of resort life. Spa-inspired bathrooms and rattan furniture bring that relaxed feeling of vacation home, for a everyday enjoyment.

House Beautiful calls it “looking at our stainless steel kitchens through rose-gold glasses — or something like that.” Pinterest says, “Metals mesh with any color palette, but to really amp up a space, mix different finishes together.” We think mixed metals are definitely a go.

Statement Doors
