Where are the current trends? At the two extremes!\n\nPeople alternate in their lives between purging and collecting for their homes. This is due to life changes, evolving our personal style, and trends. This can make it challenging to sit firmly at either end and can be difficult for interior decorators to implement these styles in a sustainable way. They\u2019re both beautiful and interesting in their own unique ways.\n\nBut with these choices, come some big challenges! Keep reading to find out what exactly these two styles are and how to achieve them in your home designs.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;12107&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;25&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;25&#8243; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Minimal D\u00e9cor Trends<\/h3>\n<h4>Basics<\/h4>\nMinimalist rooms focus only on the essentials. It\u2019s all about being completely clutter-free. Often with wood floors and geometric lines, they lean towards a contemporary style. They don\u2019t have to be totally white spaces, but color often comes in through undertones, plants, and accent pieces.\n\nThis simplicity means even the smallest room can feel much larger because it isn\u2019t packed with things. The aim is to create a bright, clean, spacious room void of any excess. Rather than love a room because of what is in it, you love the room because of what is left out.\n<h4>Less is Less<\/h4>\nUnfortunately, everyday life naturally leads to some level of chaos in a room, whether it be dirty dishes piling up or kids leaving their toys out on the floor. Life isn\u2019t simple, so simplicity is hard to maintain. Things find a way of accumulating. Although it appears to be extremely basic, a lot of work goes into keeping a minimalist room truly minimal!\n\nIt also presents a particularly unique challenge: things that you usually wouldn\u2019t notice stick out. This can be anything from electronic cords being visible to a faded curtain or a cracked light switch. It\u2019s intuitive when you think about it, but not something that people necessarily expect or know how to tackle! What do you do about your lamp cord when you need the lighting and you can\u2019t ditch the lamp? This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/online-courses\/interior-decorating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interior decorating courses<\/a> can save the day! You\u2019ll get tips and tricks for handling all the problems that come with this style.\n\nYou\u2019ll also get to learn about all the benefits! The positive part of this juxtaposition with blank space means that you really get to see each piece in a room. So you can really appreciate the simple beauty of all the furniture and other elements that you have incorporated.\n<h4>Baby Steps<\/h4>\nIf you want to give minimalist decor a try you also don\u2019t need to convert an entire room. You can bring minimalism into individual pieces. Start off with a bookshelf or a coffee table with simple clean lines and get rid of all the clutter. This can prevent major shock. Clients that start off with a cluttered and crowded space that immediately jump to a minimalist space might love it right away. Or they might feel their space is totally empty! Introducing the concept slowly can be a very effective way to get closer to this end of the design spectrum.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;12108&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;25&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;25&#8243; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Maximal D\u00e9cor Trends<\/h3>\n<h4>(Anything But) Basics<\/h4>\nThere is a fine line between eclectic beauty and intense chaotic mess.\u00a0 Maximal d\u00e9cor sits right on this line. This style brings color, texture, and patterns into as many elements of the room as possible &#8211; and that includes the ceiling!\n\nAs a decorator, you get to use every inch of space to your advantage. The key to this type of design is to bring very separate and different elements together. This is often done by having a similar tone throughout the room or offsetting an intense pattern with large spaces of solid color.\n\nEvery time you scan a maximal room there is something else to see! That is the real fun aspect of these design schemes. Your eye keeps dancing around the room.\n<h4>More is More<\/h4>\nThis style can be a deliberate design or an organic process that happens over many years. It comes off best when the style looks like it has accumulated over time (even if it hasn\u2019t). Rather than looking like someone has stuffed a room full of every jewel-toned thing they could find! Basically, this is <em>not<\/em> an easy look to achieve.\n\nEclectic rooms, in general, can be very challenging to get the hang of creating without an interior decorating course. When you add on the task of trying to put in the maximum amount of eclectic elements in a room as you can, it\u2019s a whole new level of difficulty. With guided practice, pulling it all together can look amazing. However, things on the end of a spectrum are the limit of a concept so, by definition, they\u2019re difficult to master.\n<h4>Starting Out<\/h4>\nRegardless of the difficulty in design, it can be very expensive!\u00a0 Getting all the different fabrics, wallpaper, paint, and d\u00e9cor pieces to fill a room can add up quickly. If you want to give it a go, try making a single item or area maximal like a shelving unit or a feature wall. You can also paint your ceiling a bright color to bring in a maximal touch.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;12109&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;25&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;25&#8243; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]Whether you love or hate these styles, many interior decorator clients want to follow the trends.
