11 Home Décor Trends You’ll Probably See in 2019

Statement Artwork

Move over gallery walls! Kim Gordon, a Los Angles home designer, says while family photos are great, they often fail to make a big statement. Instead, Gordon says to look for “big, potentially colorful, and absolutely impactful” art that wows. Here’s how to hang artwork straight and level in minutes.

Natural Elements

In 2019, designers are moving toward fresh, natural materials such as wood, marble and copper, according to Decor Aid, a full-service interior design firm. In their blog, Decor Mag, they stated, “These elements will help bring an organic and serene ambiance to any space while reflecting the world around your home.” Try incorporating this trend with marble countertops or a wood accent wall like this one made from reclaimed wood. Another option is to transform a room with a DIY faux stone accent wall.

Large Tiles

Adam Meshberg from the award-winning architecture and interior design firm, the Meshberg Group, says, “Faux stone or large-format tile will soon replace natural materials like concrete or Italian white marble.” Meshberg said thanks to emerging technology, new porcelain tile looks identical to real, natural materials but is much less expensive and easier to install. These are the top flooring trends for 2019.

Authentic Pieces

Instead of decorating with mass-produced boho-style items, look for authentic pieces. Justin Riordan, a designer from Portland, Oregon, says to find pieces that reflect a real ethnic tradition and to build the room around that. Try a kilim rug or a vase brought back from a vacation abroad. These 15 home decor trends are on their way out.

Movable Kitchen Storage

Diana Blaskiewicz, an associate with TTR Sotheby’s International Realty in Washington, DC says many of her clients want to ditch the kitchen island because they’re bulky and often don’t provide adequate storage. She says instead of an island, move the dining table closer to the kitchen and use some modular storage instead. Add storage to your kitchen with these 27 tips and tricks.

Kitchen Cabinets in Color

Instead of all-white kitchen cabinets, incorporate some color into your kitchen decor. “Making a statement and creating a mood with cabinetry in black and colors like deep or gray-washed blues and greens is in high demand,” says Sara Ianniciello, a senior associate and director of design at Whitehall Interiors.

Floral Patterns
