We can expect some great bedroom design trends in 2018. With so many exciting, new ideas available, it's the perfect time to re-evaluate your bedroom style and make sure you're starting the year off in a space you love. Tips for Transforming a Bedroom Into Your Personal Oasis Before diving into the 2018 bedroom design trends, let's take a moment and review some best practices for approaching a bedroom redesign or remodel. Whether you tackle the process yourself or work with a design build firm, there are a few things you should consider.
2018 Bedroom Design Trends You'll Love Are you ready to dive into the bedroom design trends we expect to see in 2018? There are a range of exciting new ideas we'll start to see in the bedroom and all throughout the home, but the following six trends are our personal favorites: Moodier Palettes Pantone recently released its color of the year. Any guesses on what it was? The winner was "Ultra Violet," or more specifically, Pantone 18-3838. This bold shade is said to be invigorating yet cozy. It will set the tone for many of the color choices of 2018, including in the bedroom. Overall, moodier, jewel-tone colors will be popular. One aspect of this I'm most intrigued by is tone-on-tone jewel palettes. This trend features one main hue paired with another similarly graded tone within that scheme. For example, painting your trim work and walls the same color to create a cozy yet modern feeling that's incredibly interesting. If you're not feeling quite bold enough to spring for a dark, jewel-tone hue, consider using a calmer cousin color. For example, lavender is a nice watered-down version of Ultra Violet and has a softer, more feminine feel. Brass Accent Pieces Pairing brass accent pieces with jewel tones is a current trend. Many people are moving away from brushed silver and are replacing it with warm and subtle brass pieces. There's something unexpected about using brass in your bedroom; however, the brass tone is universal enough to be paired with a variety of colors and is especially beautiful alongside moodier palettes. Some of my favorite ways I've seen brass incorporated into the bedroom include:
Another design aesthetic that's been catching fire is "Wabi-Sabi." This is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection. Within design, this means incorporating more handmade and natural items into your space, allowing for an organic vibe. Here are some great ideas to help inspire the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic in your bedroom:
Your storage pieces no longer need to be just practical. Today, statement storage is a must. Showcase your beautiful storage pieces, anything from dressers and bookshelves to side tables and media consoles. These pieces can and should be creative and beautiful, and they add to your overall bedroom design. Mid-Century Everything Mid-century modern design has become popular over the last few years and will continue to be a go-to style for homeowners. Adding touches of this retro style is a great way to bring a trendy yet comfortable feeling into your space. Some of my favorite mid-century design ideas for the bedroom include:
Floral prints have always been popular, but this year we'll see them veer away from being incredibly feminine and more toward giving off an interesting, funky vibe. Think contrasting colors and casual, bohemian styling. There are many ways to incorporate this trend in your bedroom, whether through unique floral patterned chairs or cushions, or a cozy duvet cover. If you're feeling especially wild, you can even add floral wallpaper to an accent wall. Bring Your Vision to Life In the midst of all these exciting new trends, remember that your bedroom should reflect your personality and be a place you enjoy spending time in. Whether you're interested in completely remodeling your bedroom or just want to refresh the overall look and feel of your space on a budget, you can implement these 2018 trends and turn your bedroom into a space you love.
