Hottest Home Décor Trends! What Designers Are Excited About In 2019!

Hello 2019 you’ve finally made your appearance and we’re glad you are here. We are excited to see what you have in store for us in home décor this year. I’ve spent some time evaluating and exploring the design trends you will so graciously lay upon us. I’m ever so passionate about design and I cannot wait to tell everyone about the hottest trends in home décor for 2019. We are not going to replace all our family room furniture every year, but there are still ways we can work these trends into your abode. Your home is your sanctuary, and its décor should reflect your taste and style. I understand the importance of making a home feel fresh and by introducing only one or two of these trending pieces you can. Below are 5 noteworthy emerging trends I thought I would share with you today! Enjoy!Velvet Old Fashion? NO!! We are welcoming this trend with arms wide open in 2019 and I’m happy they are. There is nothing priggish or outdated about velvet! This tactile fabric has continued to pull at my creative design strings. Gaining a lot of attention this multi-dimensional fabric started to pique the interest of home décor enthusiasts last year. Velvet décor will be one of 2019’s most sought after trends. Simple and effective you can add a few velvet throw pillows doused in the colors of the moment. For a larger impact a velvet sofa can play the hero of the room making a real statement.  Canopy Beds Worth Dreaming About. We’ve seen a nice steady rise in the awakening of the canopy bed. Though they haven’t been in vogue in 20 plus years, they seem to be an attention getter of the bedroom. They instantly make a dramatic impact, whether they are traditionally styled or more modern. It’s important to consider the silhouette of the bed compared to the size of your room. A slim silhouette will work beautifully, leaning an enviable sense of elegance in a smaller room without overbearing the space.   Cocktails Anyone? If you enjoy mixing a specialty cocktail and entertaining, you’re going to be excited about this next trend. Nothing says mid-century glamour like a bar cart. While they can be quite glitzy, they’re actually available in a range of styles and finishes so there’s one to fit any décor type. Bar carts are an engaging essential that that can be really fun to accessorize with books, artwork, plants and of course liquor, citrus, mixers and fabulous glasses.All About The Curves. 2019 will be all about the curves and soft angles, giving sofas, arm chairs and tables a more fluid shape. The hard lines of the past are being traded in for soft curves. Crescent silhouettes and graceful curved corners will be taking over both furniture and accessories in the homes this year. Go ahead and get rid of the ridged lines and welcome soft corners, round edges and billowing lines.Reconnecting Our Home With Earth. Known for their many health benefits, houseplants reconnect our homes with the greater outdoors. I’m loving this trend for our tech-driven lives. For it allows us to branch out and become closer to nature while indoors.  .

Good lighting gives your dining room a sense of interest, warmth, light, enhances color and enables great conversation. Adding the right light fixture can alter the mood in the most sophisticated way. Your chandelier can act as eye candy to the most discerning guest bringing a bit of fashion and merriment. A few key points in selecting the perfect light fixture to your dining room is to think of comfort and flexibility. You want the space to give you an opulent pleasure that compliments any meal relished. The dining room is a fantastic place to play with an unexpected chandelier design. If you are looking for a great conversation starter go ahead and be a little daring with your piece.One of the first things you should consider when selecting a fixture is the size. Choosing the wrong sized light fixture can seriously disrupt the design of the space. We recommend a happy medium between too small and too big. The chandelier should be harmonious with the scale of the space without overpowering it. Make sure the chandelier is one-half to three-quarters the width of your table. If you table is 40" wide and 60" long we recommend a 24" - 36" diameter  chandelier. For the right hanging height the bottom of the chandelier should be around 30" above the table. If your ceilings are taller than 8', than an additional 3" for every foot taller. This will ensure that you have the clearance to hang your chandelier, and that it won't either get lost in the room by being too small, or overwhelm the space.  Small dining tables are beautifully complemented by similarly delicate chandeliers. As a general rule avoid pairing round and square with rectangular fixtures. Rectangular tables can handle slightly wider fixtures as well.   The amount of light is very important. Consider the size of the room and how much natural light is coming in. When you walk into the room and gaze at the scintillating halo of unparalleled perfection, you want the chandelier to have the right amount of light. Keep in mind that lighting from a chandelier that beams directly onto a person from above is neither flattering or comfortable. Avoid high wattage bulbs and try adding shades to candelabra bulbs if you like. For most interiors, 2700K warm light LED bulbs should be sufficient. If you have a space with lots of crisp whites, blues and grays then consider 3000K.  A wall dimmer will also help you control the light and set a more flattering mood. Now the fun part begins!! It's time to start selecting your chandelier! Think about a light fixture that will complement the color palette and materials of the space. Because your chandelier should feel like an extension of the style of the particular room, think about the hues and materials that are in the room already. Do you lean towards a more neutral color palette, or are you a little more daring with colors. Are you comfortable mixing metals, which I am a big fan of? Do you want a crystal, metal or beaded chandelier? When it comes to style, are you a little more eclectic? You can choose to display a retro chandelier in a modern dining room if you are looking for a little more contrast and attention. Ultimately, be sure that the chandelier you pick is something you love and is a representative of your style while creating a beautiful balance in the space.Today's contemporary, modern and transitional styles offer an ever expanding array of fixture designs and here are a few of our favorites I would like to share with you.

Unique Design Looks for Thanksgiving Hosts

Thanksgiving isn't just about the turkey — you have to decorate the house so that it's worthy of the bird. To make it extra special, you can coordinate your tablescape with the design of your kitchen or dining room, or choose a decorative theme that suits the guests gathered around your feast this year. Here are five ideas that could inspire your design this year.

Traditional: Warm Florals

A traditional design scheme typically incorporates warm colors — tans, reds, browns — as well as wood tones, rich fabrics and gold accents. If your home features these classic elements, you might consider accenting them with festive floral arrangements that bring out the colors of your walls, furniture and accessories.Even if you start with a store-bought arrangement, you can spruce it up with a few added pieces to make it your own. For instance, you could add sprigs of berry or a handful of mini pumpkins to your bouquet. To really amp up the appeal of your arrangement, add cool blue accents to bring out the traditional hues of your flowers and home. 

Bohemian: Earth-Inspired

On the opposite end of the spectrum from traditional, you'll find a bohemian-inspired Thanksgiving table. This design style is all about layering, whether that's in the literal sense or piling different patterns and colors into the same space. You can easily do the same with your Thanksgiving table.The trick to making it bohemian is to leave out anything that's distinctly autumnal or Thanksgiving-esque. Instead, let the colors inspire you before adding natural design elements. For example, you might tie warm yellow or orange napkins together with gemstone rings. They'll pile nicely onto Mediterranean-style patterned plates or monotone dishes.

Modern: Simple Shapes

Modern design is all about simplicity and elegance, so your Thanksgiving design shouldn’t be too busy. If you have a minimalist kitchen, highlight it with a monochromatic theme revolving around a neutral like white or tan. Your table should work in tandem with the sleek style you've already cultivated.This information isn't to say you shouldn't include autumnal design accents such as pumpkins. Just try painting them or choosing non-orange options that are a muted take on the classic — that's what your style is, after all. Finish the look with geometric serving accessories, plates and utensils. Bonus points for matching your cutlery with the metallic hardware you have in your kitchen already.   

Family-Friendly: Fun Reigns Supreme

Your feast's attendees might not all be grown-ups, so don't forget to consider little ones when you set the table and prepare for the day's activities.Younger kids simply won't be able to sit through more than a 10-minute meal, no matter how much good food there is on the table. Bursts of fun color, handmade decorations and activities like the classic handprint turkeys will all add family-friendly flair to your Thanksgiving look and keep everyone entertained. Plus, you can take a hint from your favorite restaurant, and provide all the kids with coloring books to help them get through dinner sitting down. 

Rustic: A Few Thanksgiving Touches Will Do

Finally, if your home has a rustic design scheme already, you're in luck — the look creates the perfect backdrop for a Thanksgiving feast. The place is already replete with warm colors, lived-in furniture, natural wood accents, antiques and flowers. All of it will go perfectly with your holiday table, so you won't have to do much to prepare. Your regular place settings will look great since they're already country enough. Just add cloth napkins and a few seasonal blooms or gourds and voila: Thanksgiving is served. 

Make It Yours

No matter your design style, you're sure to be able to piece together the perfect Thanksgiving design for your feast this year and beyond. After all, you already have the most important element of all — your loved ones, who will gather around the table and make it look perfect no matter what. Guest Blogger- Holly Welles believes in making the most of any space, no matter how cramped.

Design a Completely Zen Living Space

Your living space is the one place you can relax and get away from the stress of everyday living. While bold designs are interesting to look at in magazines, what you really want is a zen living space that draws you in and makes you feel at home in your own skin.When it comes to decorating priorities, people rank rooms as kitchen first, then the bedrooms and then the living room. When it comes to decorating your "living space," that can mean your living room, but also means the rooms where you spend the most time — including the kitchen and bedrooms. To design a completely zen living space, focus on these five features.

1. Go Natural

Earth-toned colors found in nature offer a serene look for your entire home. Stick with neutral paints and furnishings. However, it's okay to add your favorite colors here and there as well to brighten things up. A red throw pillow on the couch or a brightly patterned area rug are easily swapped out but add some personality to an otherwise bland room.Statement fabrics can help your living space reflect who you are and add some classic flair to a minimalist design. It can’t be the dominant look, however, if you’re going for a zen living space. What you want to avoid is a bright red on every wall, as it may make you feel overly excited and unsettled.

2. Add Some Peace and Quiet

It's hard to relax if the neighbors are blaring music or the landscapers mow at 10 a.m. every morning. Fortunately, you can take design measures to block out unwanted noises and create a quiet, peaceful space. For example, add insulated curtains to reduce outside noise and also help insulate your home.You should also complete basic maintenance to rid your home of annoying little sounds. Oil squeaky doors and put buffers on kitchen cabinets, so they don't snap shut and slam. Keep your garage door opener in tip-top shape. It shouldn't grind or rattle as it opens — regular maintenance is critical. If you're still in the building phase, add extra insulation between rooms and on outside walls to reduce noise. If you’re going for zen, poor home maintenance can derail your lovely interior design.

3. Bring in Live Plants

Living plants bring a lot of physical and emotional benefits to your living space. They add a beautiful burst of green, but the right plants also clean the air and uplift your overall mood. Choose wisely, and you'll be happier and more productive surrounded by plants. 

4. Flood the Room With Natural Light

Open up the windows or sliding doors from time to time or add some skylights to take advantage of natural light. You'll do the environment a favor, too, as you'll use less energy lighting your home. Studies support that natural light has a positive impact on our health. Since today's citizens spend about 90 percent of their time inside, getting enough natural daylight helps with circadian cycles and works to improve overall health.

5. Get Rid of Clutter

That beautiful porcelain doll collection your great Aunt Mary left you is interesting, but does it create a cluttered feel to your home? Sometimes it is best to reduce your knick-knacks down to just a few favorite pieces and sell or give everything else away. Not only does this create a less cluttered look where energy flows freely, but you'll have fewer items to dust, reducing your housekeeping duties.

Zen Is In

Zen living spaces are accessible right now because they speak to our desire for a simple life. Even if the trends change, things that are simple and classic tend to stay in style, so you'll have less redecorating to do. What makes your space zen really depends on the things that speak to your soul, so take the time to figure out what designs you truly love and incorporate them into the overall simplistic look.  Written By Guest Blogger-Holly Welles believes in making the most of any space, no matter how cramped.

SPOOKY HOME DECORATING TIPS

Spooky Home Decorating TipsTrend experts say that the top Halloween theme this year will be 'industrial chic', which makes use of neutral tones and concrete. But whether you like to jump on the latest bandwagon or stay with your own style, decorating can be a challenge. For most people, the goal is to achieve the right balance between "scary" and "fun". To help you out, we've lined up some tips to level up your Halloween home decorating chops!Put a twist into your everyday items(Source: Pixabay)Life-sized skeletons and cobwebs amp up the creepiness factor, but they are also easy to overdo. Why not think of ways to put a scary twist on common household items? You can buy a few pairs of Halloween-themed utensils to replace your spoons and knives, or even decorate them yourself. As for the dining table, you can put a cheap white cloth and form blood spatter patterns by staining it with red food coloring. You can also check out Beasley and Henley’s previous post on Halloween dining table decor for other creative ideas.In the bedroom, create Halloween-themed lampshades by replacing the usual yellow light bulbs with creepy red ones. You can even do the same in your bathroom by carving out skull-shaped soap bars. The possibilities are endless!Work on a special centerpiece(Source: Pixabay)In the Yuletide season, the centerpiece is the Christmas tree. You can also do the same during Halloween, and have a big lantern as the focal point in your living room. Having a centerpiece can set the spooky mood in your entire house and make other decor stand out more.Add creative accent pieces(Source: Pixabay)The next step is to complement your centerpiece with accent items. But instead of sticking to the usual Halloween pumpkin, try hand-painted eyeballs or Kidspot's severed finger biscuits. These can be put in jars and placed in different parts of the house.Don’t forget your front porch/door(Source: Pixabay)Trick-or-treaters are more likely to visit your house if your front porch has inviting Halloween decorations. You can go for something crazy like witch hats that are suspended using nylon strings to make them "float", or perhaps a simple a spider garland on your gate. If you’re living in a condo, a Halloween-themed doormat can also do the job. Hanging Jason Vorhees’ mask from Halloween, or a print of Dracula's face, bat, or skull on your door is not a bad idea either.A couple of reminders though: Putting up decor can be trickier if you are living in a rented apartment or a co-op. A post by Yoreevo about co-op apartments indicates that these units have similarities with condos. Most co-ops and condos have some form of restriction on modifying your unit. Landlords Tips shares that while policies can vary from building to building, special clauses are usually added to lease contracts regarding painting, decorating, and other similar matters. It is best to check with the landlord, especially if you’ve been residing in the unit for a considerable amount of time just to find out if they will permit any modifications, no matter how minor they seem.Another important thing to consider is reusability. It is best to go for items that you can simply spice up and use next Halloween to save money. Lifestyle writer Sohia Bennett shared some ideas on recycling Halloween decor, which you may apply when preparing your pieces. And even if you don't have extra storage space after the holiday, you can sell or give your items away! Written By Guest Blogger-Marjorie RossiOutreach Executivewww(dot)letsgetwise(dot)com

6 Ways to Design a Studio Apartment to Maximize Space

Your new high-rise apartment looked great online and even better when you went to see it in person. The landlord was great, and the place had great new fixtures in addition to being fiber wired and smart ready. The only problem is that you used to live in a spacious two-bedroom in Houston, TX where rent prices were much cheaper and your new place in in bustling Miami, FL where space is at a premium. You rented a studio, and now you need to know how to make it feel and look bigger.Try these six methods and get creative with you interior design.

Downsize

If you just piled everything into a cube and your belongings await you at a storage facility, you may want to open the cube there and take only the things you need. There are usually dumpsters available at storage units, and you may have to throw out the broken Fender solid state amp that sounded bad even when it worked. Other things to consider parting with are old electronics, books you hated but kept because your mom never threw away anything, and of course your collection of winter parkas. If your things are still in good condition, find a resale shop or a place that accepts donations for the less fortunate.

White

Make sure all of the walls are painted white. Dark colors may look exciting at first, but your apartment can look like a dungeon on a dreary day if all of the walls are painted dark colors. White walls reflect light and open up the space.

Windows

Rule number one: Always respect light and never cover up the windows! When installing your window treatments it's best to frame the windows and doors. Keep your furniture, computer monitors and shelving away from the windows so that any available light is guided into your apartment.

Up Against the Wall

Keep things a few inches away from the wall. Yes, you will be sacrificing a tiny bit of space, but the negative space that will appear because big furniture items are moved away from the walls will present a totally different feeling. Try it—especially if you have everything butted against the interior walls already.

Go Shopping

No, not just because you are depressed at your new smaller surroundings. Go check out ways to compress your belongings into smaller areas. Remember your grandma’s ironing board that folded up into her tiny closet? Or your cousin’s little kid bed that had dresser drawers attached to it underneath? There are many innovative ways to combine furniture pieces in order to take advantage of previously under-used space, so take an afternoon to see what is now available.It can be a shock to realize that you now only have half the living space that you used to have, but by utilizing decorating tips and innovative furniture pieces, you can make your smaller space look very nice and comfortable. And don’t forget — keeping your new place clean (don’t forget the little things like in your bedroom) can have a huge benefit in helping create the illusion of a larger space when you’re downsizing. Guest Blog Written By: ABODO  

Going Green at Home *4 Tips to Save Energy & Money*

We all have bills piling in each month. It does not matter who you are — when you have your own place, bills are bills.Whether you live in a smaller Denver apartment or you spend your days in a modern Winter Park luxury unit with an amazing interior design, each month, you’ll pay a ton of bills. Groceries. Rent. Transportation. Utilities. And more.In most cases, you have options. You can pick and choose which providers you use and this could save you a few dollars on individual bills. But utilities are less flexible, and that could be why utilities are one of Americans’ largest annual expenses, with the average household spending almost $5,000 on utilities, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  That said, you should always seek new options and work hard to save a few bucks where you can. Here are some tips to “go green” and save a few dollars while doing so.Update Your BulbsThis is one of the most common and best energy tips you’ll get. You’ve likely been hearing about the energy saving benefits of LED and CFL bulbs for years. But have you actually tried to make the switch yet? According to Energy Star, if we all just replaced one bulb with a qualified CFL, we’d save enough energy to light up 3 million homes for a year and more than $600 million in annual energy costs.That said, it’s true — CFL light bulbs cost a bit more than regular bulbs, but they use about 75% less of the energy and they’ll even last ten times as long. This is a no brainer.Watch Your WindowsWhen running the heat or air conditioning in your home or apartment, make sure all the windows and doors are closed as tightly as possible. It’s easy to forget that your small bedroom window was cracked open a bit, but when the air starts seeping out, the heater or air conditioner has to work much harder than it needs to. This causes unnecessary cash (and energy) to be spent.You can still have some amazing interior detailing done in your home while saving money on energy costs — nothing has to be sacrificed!  Smart ThermostatsYou might have heard about the innovative Nest Learning Thermostat. This product — basically just a little computer bolted to your wall and connected to your home Internet — will familiarize itself with your schedule and habits to adjust your house’s temperature to keep you comfortable while reducing unnecessary energy use. Simply put, this thermostat will absolutely save energy and money. The Nest device will automatically adjust to your specifications and you can also control it to function on “away” and “eco” modes to ensure that your home doesn’t get too hot or too cold while people are away and while people are at home.New Appliances?EnergyStar offers some amazing appliances that can help you save money on your utility bills. These appliances might cost a bit more upfront, but the long-term savings will make it well worth your initial spend. For example, EnergyStar clothes washers use 50 percent less energy than your standard washer and dryer. That’s hugely important over time.Creating an energy-efficient home utilizing smart interior design ideas can be a great way to reduce costs on your utility bills. The items used to furnish and decorate your home can also provide the finishing touches of energy-efficient design, which is something that we all hope to accomplish.All in all, money saving is important to everyone. Whether you have bad credit and are struggling to purchase a home; or you’re saving money for a down payment while renting an apartment, we all can benefit from saving a few dollars and becoming eco-friendlier in the process! Written By Guest Blogger- Sam Radbil with  https://www.abodo.com/

It's an undoubtedly bold look with a sea of versatility. If your not looking to replace your flooring or counter tops no worries. You can apply this pattern into a kitchen backsplash, wallpaper or home accessory.    Bone InlayBone inlay of one of this summer's hottest trends. It is a decorative technique that consists of inserting small pieces of bone, shell or ivory into a pattern. The variation gives every accessory and piece of furniture it's striking character.

The Great Love Affair With A White Kitchen

We love a dazzling kitchen and have been in love with the classic white kitchen for some time now. White kitchens repeatedly stand the test of time and unlike prominent misconceptions, they don't have to be stark and plain. Some may also say too much white can make a kitchen feel, sterile and unwelcoming. We are hear to debunk those pesky little rumors once and for all! Crisp, clean white kitchens with gleaming marble counter tops make our hearts skip a beat. White makes a space appear larger and airier and will enhance other design elements. Your light fixtures form into sculptural elements, your stainless appliances sparkle, and richer toned flooring gains an extra hint of luxury against white cabinetry.There are many variations to a white kitchen that can be adapted to your home. A grand and welcoming white kitchen can be quickly warmed up by adding a few key elements. You may desire to add a butcher block counter, a colored mosaic tile back splash, a copper chandelier or contrasting lower cabinets for warmth. Another great way to add warmth to an all white kitchen is in the form of flooring and furniture, which also adds a bit of charm and character to the space. White also makes for the perfect backdrop for small dashes of bold color too! If you are looking for a more untroubled and smoothing space, add other light neutrals, such as shades of gray, tan and beige. 

White cabinetry paired with a white tiled back splash is scrumptious!  With this real white on white color pattern, you can introduce pops of color like sunny yellow!

A great way to add warmth to your white kitchen is by adding natural wood flooring a different colored back splash and island.

  

Two toned kitchen cabinets are still having a big moment! The darker shade on the bottom allows you to make a statement while simultaneously helping to ground the space. It will also make the space look larger because the white upper will help draw the eye upward.

   

White kitchens give off a sense of luxury and when paired with bold statement looking pendant lights your kitchen is sure to make a lasting impression!

 

Adding wood tones furniture pieces to your white kitchen adds the perfect amount of warmth to the space.

 

Adding shades of beige, gray and taupe's make for a luxurious kitchen!
