Amp up the visual interest another notch by layering your metals across a variety of locations, from faucets to hardware to lighting and furniture. If you’re having trouble picking out a bold color, Gaines recommends green, because it's found in nature and is timeless. Thanks to social media, everyone seems to be talking about travel. Even if you aren't a regular jet-setter, you can still draw color inspiration from around the world.
A piece of furniture in this color makes a great accent piece. It’s quite close to charcoal, which is a good fit if you’re using gray in your décor. If any of your other furniture pieces are dark, caviar black will not contrast too much. Whether it’s wall colors, accents or what-have-you, the right color choices make statements about your style, your influence – basically, your personality.
The 2018 Color of the Year (and 5 Ways to Decorate with It)
However, if the trend happens to be a color I love, that usually means finding accessories in that color will be a whole lot easier. So it may help me make some decisions about any rooms I’m planning on re-decorating…or add some things to a space I already have decorated in that color. Accents are touches of color strategically placed to create maximum impact in a room. Bright colors help enliven small spaces; dark colors create a sense of formality. Accents on the exterior highlight architectural details like front doors, windows and shutters. Pleasing colors and visual cues support the idea of comfort and serenity.
But black is definitely showing up everywhere as a room color. It is a very bold color so I can see how it might be a bit intimidating to think of painting it on your walls. Have you ever noticed how color immediately sets the mood in a room?
Color Trend #2: Ocean Blue
The question on everyone’s minds is how much longer gray will continue to remain popular. By all appearances, this color combination is still gaining steam, and will remain popular in 2018. Black is on a good pace to eclipse gray as the most popular trendy interior color this year. 'Caviar' is a black that's on the cusp of charcoal, so it pairs well with dark grays and won't contrast too starkly with furniture in deeper shaders.
If you live in California, it doesn't mean your palette needs to be nature-inspired or if you're a New Yorker, you have to embrace industrial-inspired shades. In fact, we predict this year is going to be all about going against the grain in terms of color choices. Sure, sometimes it's acceptable to stick with what you love when it comes to home design, regardless of the latest trends. But if your humble abode is a bit tired of fashioning last season's tropical patterns and cliché word art, now's your chance to do some updating.
Light, textured wood floors

The pink on this pink Christmas tree mainly comes from all the ribbon adorning the tree and the paper bauble ornaments I made out of pink wallpaper and construction paper. A little bit of pink on my Christmas tree, I can handle – enjoy even.
But that doesn't mean you can't use the color in a more rustic environment, especially in homes with lots of outdoor space. Braff suggests covering outdoor furniture cushions in ultra violet fabric, with navy piping . The one place Loecke and Nixon can't see ultra violet working? The American Southwest, because the color was so prevalent in that region in the 1980s and can feel dated. But if you’re not on board with big, don’t fret—designers agree the subway tile trend has life left in it. For years, white subway tile has been the go-to choice in many a modern bathroom and kitchen.
Think of it as the new neutral, one we would welcome in place of a snoozy beige or cream. From the bold to the muted and all that comes in between, the following colors each promise a vibrant change and a break from the ordinary. Read on to get the lowdown on the hues we’ll be decorating with this year plus, a few helpful tips in using them, from the pros. If you use accents like blue or cream, goldenrod colors will complement these very well.
If you’re not inclined to do a whole room in this color, I think it would make a beautiful statement door color (statement doors are a 2018 home decor trend…you can find all about that and more decorating trends HERE). The brightest, boldest purple hue of them all, “Ultra Violet”, is the 2018 color of the year from the Pantone Color Institute, a consulting firm that forecasts global color trends. "Millennial pink is still around and I still love it, but it's morphing into lavender and lilac," says Nancy Fire, creative director of HGTV HOME, Design Works International and Studio NYC Design. "People were sarcastic about millennial pink at the beginning, but it's being used to bring out beautiful, soft tones with accents that are deeper." These are the most noteworthy 2018 color trends we’ve observed; we think these are the trends that will impact interior décor in 2018 on a broad scale.
It’s a combination of navy and black that adds a lot of depth to the space. This theme is especially relevant as we look for ways to balance all of our activities, reduce stress and increase the moments of joy in our lives. Being mindful also includes the experiences we engage in to maximize our sense of ease and contentment.
As a surprise addition to the bold color trend, Benjamin Moore broke away from the blue and purple trends by choosing a very warm red called “Caliente” as their 2018 color of the year. Or for a little more of a blue base,Valsparhas included “Roadster Blue” at Lowe’s (also known as “Lake Henry” at Ace Hardware and independent retailers) as one of their 2018 paint color trends. Dark colors combined with light neutrals in furniture, flooring or other decorative accessories create a pleasing balance for both interior rooms and exterior color schemes. Greige is a neutral color that’s somewhere between beige and gray.
