Dive into 2017\u2019s best interior decorating trends and add them to your client\u2019s home. Whether you choose to incorporate new colors or focus on art and furnishings, your designs will be stylish and chic with these top trends!\n

Paint Colors<\/h3>\nPantone is the leading expert on color trends<\/a>, and we\u2019re following suit with their top picks for 2017! From Flame (a rustic bright orange) to Pale Dogwood (a light creamy pink), Pantone\u2019s color picks inspire us to get on these trends by incorporating them into the home!\n\nUse furniture accents or paint the entire room to bring your client\u2019s home into fashion for the New Year. By using small accents, it\u2019s easier for you to go back and redesign the d\u00e9cor as trends change. The good news: all of these colors are beautiful<\/i> and your clients won\u2019t want to change a thing (for a while, at least!). Take Island Paradise, for example. A soft, pale blue that will make your client\u2019s home feel like a getaway to the Caribbean waters\u2026\n\n\"Pantone\n

Matte Finishes<\/h3>\nIn 2017 we\u2019re sticking with matte shades of black and chrome to add some edge to home design. Light fixtures and lamps look awesome with a matte finish to them\u2014so add this trend to your designs in the New Year! Keeping it simple with matte shades lets you use patterned or colorful accents throughout the home without overdoing it. For instance, a matte curtain rod with a simple patterned curtain makes for an effortless design with a touch of liveliness!\n\nThink about matte d\u00e9cor as well. A matte finish on a vase lets plants stand out and gives your design natural tones. Or, if you\u2019re designing a dining space, show your clients a light fixture<\/a> that works in matte shades for a look that is elegant but not overbearing.\n

Symmetrical Patterns<\/h3>\nPatterns in 2017 are all about symmetry! Change up your client\u2019s home with new fabrics and linens that add balance to their rooms with symmetrical patterns. Look for fabrics like these curtains<\/a>, which use a simple design to create a continuous pattern. They also look lovely with any paint or furniture color. Adding symmetrical designs makes it easier for you to incorporate bold colors into your client\u2019s home without overwhelming a room.\n\nConsider artwork as well when you choose patterns. A symmetrical painting or graphic design can make a plain room pop! Moreover, matching artwork throughout the same room or hallway makes the home feel continuous and well-planned.\n\n\"Symmetrical\n

Antiquated D\u00e9cor<\/h3>\nFrom maps, to globes, to metal trunks, there\u2019s a whole world of antique home d\u00e9cor that we need to catch up with! 2017 is the perfect time to get into this vintage-inspired d\u00e9cor trend. Antique accents create a story in your client\u2019s home. They\u2019re a reminder of time passed and give the home an age-old elegance.\n\nIncorporate old-fashioned d\u00e9cor with DIY art and furniture. For example, create a coffee table from an old metal trunk\u2014just shine it up and add some coasters! Or pick up some Modge Podge<\/a>, a blank canvas, and a paper map to make your own vintage art. You\u2019ll get store-bought quality without the hefty price of antique d\u00e9cor.\n

Murals<\/h3>\nRather than press-on wall decals and silhouettes, 2017 is a chance to embrace creativity inside your client\u2019s home. Well, on<\/i> your client\u2019s home, we should say! Wall murals are a fun way to liven up a home and give rooms personality. They\u2019re unique because they\u2019re different from wallpaper and they bring more to a room than framed art. Murals tell a tale that\u2019s personal to your client, so advise them to consider the design carefully! The great thing about this trend: you can DIY if you\u2019re an experienced painter (and always paint over it if it doesn\u2019t turn out right!).\n

Simplicity<\/h3>\nWhen it comes to choosing furniture in 2017, keep it simple! The New Year is all about minimalist furniture\u2014neutral colors and wood with a pop of chrome, as well as functional pieces. Don\u2019t go overboard when selecting your client\u2019s dining room chairs!\n\nAnd remember to scope out coffee tables that have simple frames which don’t overtake the room. Bulky furniture is OUT and sleek designs are IN.\n\nChoose a glass or marble coffee table in a basic four-legged style. You get a minimalist look that feels and looks more spacious. Stay away from big furnishings that overtake a room. You don\u2019t want your client\u2019s space to look crowded!\n\n2017\u2019s home design trends bring together the best elements of creativity, edginess, and simple living. Use the hottest new colors to find inspiration for your upcoming designs\u2014you\u2019ll fall in love with this year\u2019s d\u00e9cor!\n
