Decorating Trends for Spring 2018
Decorating Trends for Spring 2018
Let’s face it, whether you’re a professional or just decorating your own home, we all want to keep our homes fresh and up-to-date.
Here are a few tips on how to decorate your home with today’s trends, without breaking the bank:
- COLOUR YOUR WORLD: Keep large pieces of furniture a neutral colour and inject pops of today’s trendy colours with rugs, accent pillows and throws. TIP: 2018 colour trends are jewel tones such as emerald green, ultra violet, and deep periwinkle (especially in velvet)
- GO FOR GOLD: for 2018 GOLD is the new chrome. Metals in warm gold and brass are making a strong comeback.
TIP: if your current decor is leaning more towards silver, mixing a few pieces in warm gold and brass is a great way to introduce this new trend into your space without having to change out all your accessories.
- MORE IS MORE: Though the minimalist look will never go out of style, today’s trend is moving towards over-the-top patterns, colours, embroidery, crystals, and sequins. Try these on toss pillows, light fixtures, and window coverings as an inexpensive way to ‘Bling-Up’ any room.
- FLOWER POWER: Big floral patterns are making a big statement in wallpaper, rugs, and fabrics. If you’re not sure this trend is for you, using bold floral patterns on wallpaper in your powder room, an area rug, or as a fabric on an accent chair is a great way to experiment.
- MAD FOR MARBLE: Marble is ‘re-surfacing’ back into many living room and kitchen furniture pieces, such as coffee and dining table tops; and not just in white and grey but also in deep black and vibrant green. This is a material that is always timeless while also being fresh and modern.
When trying to balance your home decor as well as balancing your budget, the most important rule to remember is to stick with what you love, regardless of what’s in or what’s out. Introducing the latest trends into your space via accents and accessories that can easily and inexpensively be changed out, will allow you to keep your home fresh and up-to-date year after year.

Spring Time Furniture
Spring is officially approaching. As the colour outside changes from gloomy grey to perfectly sunny and pastel, our interiors also require a bit of a refresh.
- Throw down a bright rug. Like green grass and spring flowers outside, the change in the season calls for something bright underfoot.
- The growing interest in acrylic is clear. The material is seen on dining table legs and coffee table legs as well. If you have a small space, see-through furniture can also be a strategic choice to help open up the room.
- Bring the outside in. Fill vases with your favourite flowers and place them on tables to remind you that spring is here.
- Change up your furniture. Now is the time to change up your dark upholstered chair for a lighter spring coloured replacement.
- Buy floral items that make a statement ie: a stunning floral media stand, or over-sized artwork with floral pastels, or a very pretty fresh floral upholstered occasional chair.
Welcome spring in your home with these fresh ideas!

How to Select a Colour Scheme for Your Room
Here are some tips to help you when it comes to selecting a colour scheme for your room.
- Go by the Golden Ratio rule 10/30/60. Separate the room by choosing a colour for 60% of what you see when you enter the room. For example, the floor and the walls. 30% for the next color, let’s say the furniture; and 10% for any accent pieces and bright statement colours.
- If you are looking for visually appealing and striking colour combinations then choose colorus that are complementary to each other. Meaning, these would be found opposite to each other on the colour wheel. A good example is green and purple!
- If, however, you wanted a more casual and laid back feel to your space, then go for analogous colours. This means choosing colours that are close to each other on the colour wheel. Green and yellow, or blue and purple are good examples.
- If you’re looking to add a bright colour to the walls in your space, consider adding that same colour to the floor as well. Meaning, find a rug that has a splash of that bright colour that you chose for your wall!
- Generally, cool colours appear to the human eye as receding, while warm colours tend to come towards you. If you are moving into a new condo and feel like the space looks a little small, paint the walls blue!
- Add black. Adding black to your room, especially if filled with a lot of bright colours, will remove that “childish” element that you may not like about those colours and will give it a more sophisticated feel.
- There are a lot of you out there who prefer a more neutral palette and that’s completely normal! It is very possible to create an appealing look just using neutral tones. Don’t forget that neutral also means warm golds and camel browns. Use them to spice up your nude scheme!

Warm Up With The Colour Red
It’s cold outside, so warm things up with this holiday’s hot colour – RED!
We are moving away from neutrals taking over. Red is bold, confident, passionate, dramatic and cozy. It is also a classic colour. You see it in fashion on the runway, you see it in beauty and now it’s in home decor.
Red is a versatile colour that you can use as much or as little as you want. You can paint red on a feature wall with black and white accents to ground the space and to make it feel fresh. You can “bring the red” in a traditional, modern or cottage setting. There are hundreds of different hues of red, so choose what’s comfortable for you and your home. You can paint your front door red, or use it in accessories in you space.
If red isn’t for you, then keep in mind that blue is still the number one colour everyone loves.
Valentines’ Day is in February 14th and if you LOVE YOUR HOME, it would be a great idea to inject RED in your decor to be on trend

Tackle the Winter Blues
Now that the holidays have come and gone, and with record breaking cold temperatures, not to mention the flu, it’s no wonder we are all beginning to feel the ‘Winter Blues’.
One sure-fire way to soothe these feelings is with home decor.
Here are a few simple decorating tips to brighten your interior and make a positive impact on your mood:
- Inject warmth and energy throughout your home by adding small touches of bright, hot hues such as hot pink, sunny yellow, and zesty lime green.
- Instantly lift your mood by introducing accents which reflect light such as mirrors, lighting and metallic finishes.
- Make any room or furniture item feel warm and cozy with toss pillows, rugs, bedding, and soft throws.
- If you’re feeling adventurous, use paint to brighten your interior. Paint can make your home feel fresh and, by using a warm tone, will make it feel warm in those days with low light.
- Bring the outside in by adding vases with colourful flowers throughout your home. This will make your rooms cheerful and get you excited for the arrival of spring.
Let’s face it, Winter, with it’s cold dark days can feel endless and gloomy. However, by adding some much needed colour and warmth into our home’s decor, we can all perk ourselves up and chase away the ‘Winter Blues’.
