10 home decor trends everyone will be obsessing over in 2018

We all know that trends can be fickle, and home décor is certainly not immune. One day, millennial pink is splashed across your Pinterest feed, and the next, all you see are jewel tones. People’s tastes change with the times, and if you’re someone who loves your home to look innovative and modern, then you likely pay attention to the yearly trend reports as soon as they’re published.

Between trendspotters, interior designers, and companies like Pantone, everyone is buzzing about the following styles that scream 2018. And because of the simple fact that they’re trends—by definition they’re here today and gone tomorrow—there’s no reason to blow your bank account to score them. You can find high-quality, yet reasonably priced, pieces to bring into your home right on Amazon (hello Prime 2-day shipping).

So, let’s do some dreaming and envision fresh, new spaces for your home this year. Here are the top décor trends of 2018.

1. Brass

If there was a metal that defined 2017, it was copper—copper kitchen accents, copper light fixtures, copper table legs, copper everything. This trend will undoubtedly continue to make the rounds in 2018, but just as it replaced rose gold, copper has been suddenly replaced by its vintage cousin—brass. No longer relegated to your grandmother’s attic, brass pieces nowadays are looking oh-so-current, like these sleek (and affordable) candle holders.

2. Concrete

Concrete was an unexpected trend that started to gain steam in late 2017. I mean, who would’ve thought that concrete could be so chic? But it is, thanks to the matte surface that can be woven into nearly any décor style (it tends to be seen most often in modern farmhouse spaces). If you want to sample the style, try bringing a lamp with a concrete base into your living room. This diamond-cut concrete table lamp from Amazon’s home decor brand, Rivet, would look right at home with any style.

3. Plants

Houseplants became a big thing in 2017 (although, were they ever really out?). And now plants, both faux and real, are moving onto the walls of homes with the help of vertical planters. This planter, which holds 12 different plants, is waterproof so it can be watered while hung on the wall without making a mess. Plus, using real plants will help keep your air cleaner and your room feeling fresher.

4. Natural materials

Many décor pieces are returning to their roots this year, appearing in natural and eco-friendly materials. Green design has become top of mind for many consumers in recent years, and it shows in the décor offerings on Amazon. This hand-woven Safavieh rug is a prime example, rendered in natural sisal fibers free that are not only dye-free but provide that authentic earthy feel you’re looking for.

5. Velvet

If you want to make like Marie Antoinette and drape your home in soft, luxurious velvet—do it. Because this year, it’s perfectly acceptable to live like royalty and add this sumptuous fabric to more than your wardrobe. You can represent this trend with throw pillows, bedding, or even furniture, like this gorgeous mid-century-inspired chair that comes in a wide array of colors.

6. Gallery walls

Gallery walls are still going strong in 2018 (your Pinterest feed is likely proof positive of this), and they’ll continue to be the way to fill up that awkward, empty wall in your home that’s been making you scratch your head. Amazon has caught wind of this trend, and is now selling sets of frames intended for gallery walls, ideal for creating that cohesive look. These frames are all in black wood, so you won’t have to worry about mixing and matching.

7. Bold prints

If 2017 was the year of demure, muted prints, then 2018 is just the opposite. This year, we’ll be seeing plenty of bright, bohemian prints that aren’t afraid to make a room pop. You can jump on this trend-wagon with a shower curtain, area rug, or bedding, like this beautiful duvet cover set.

8. Geometric artwork

Geometry never looked so good. Abstract, geometric prints have begun to cover the walls of stylish homes, hinting at the overarching minimalist trend that’s sweeping society. This print, found on Amazon Handmade, is particularly notable for its gold and black hues, sure to stand out on any wall.

9. Fringe accents

Fringe has gone from cowboy chaps and leather jackets to an understated detail added to pillows, throws, and other home décor accessories. We’ll be seeing fringe on everything this year, including this classic Ethan Allen herringbone throw blanket, an easy way to incorporate the trend into nearly any room of your home.

10. Black and white everything

Although black-and-white isn’t exactly a “new” trend, it will be pretty darn prevalent in homes this year, encouraged by Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Hearth & Hand line available at Target. This collection is marked by black and white plates, servingware, tea towels, and more. You can also seek out the trend on Amazon. These adorable, handmade mini planters, for instance, can be used as intended (if you want to represent the plant trend as well). Otherwise, they’re perfect to organize keys, jewelry, and other small items.
