Another year is coming to a close, which means it’s time to see what’s in store for the year ahead. While many of the trends from last year don’t seem to be going anywhere, there are some new ones on the horizon to add to the mix. Let’s take a look at what we have to look forward to in the new year.

2015 Home Design and Decor Trends

Trend #1: Deeper, richer hues

Last year, it was all about colors that were airy and bright. This year, colors will be deeper, richer and a bit more complex but that doesn’t mean a pop of something vibrant won’t be welcomed. For example, take Pantone’s color of the year, Marsala. This warm, burgundy-like hue is to be highly compatible with amber, golden yellows, greens like turquoise and teal, and vibrant blues.

Trend #2: Wallpaper

Wallpaper has evolved so much over the years, and in 2015, it’s making a huge comeback. Wallpaper is an extremely easy way to add visual interest to a space, and with so many fresh and updated colors and patterns, it can amplify the style in a major way.

Trend #3: Natural elements

Natural, or organic elements, have been steadily on the rise, but this year expect them to be an integral part of design and decor. It’s so easy to bring nature into your home, so do what makes you happy. This year think raw woods, organic shapes, branches, shells, stones, greenery and even antlers there’s really no limit on what you can incorporate.

Trend #4: Textured and patterned fabrics

Once again, prints and patterns are going to be big. While geometric prints still have a strong hold, there are other top contenders to keep an eye out for. This year, look for feather patterns, florals and tropical prints, as well as funkier ones, such as photographic or text images and dip dye designs.

Textures will also be important this year. Visual texture through prints and patterns will be one way to get the job done, but don’t forget about texture for the touch. Going with raw weaves or something soft, like velvet, will be ideal for upholstery.

Trend #5: Eco-friendly living

Today, people are making a much more conscious effort to be kind to the environment so much in fact, that it’s becoming a mainstream idea in the home. This year it’s all about sustainability, energy conservation, repurposing, up-cycling, recycling, and anything else that falls under the environmentally friendly umbrella.
