Starting to think about making changes to your home? The new year is, not surprisingly, a popular time to try on new trends or make overdue updates. Before you hit the paint<\/a> store or buy those new kitchen cabinets, take a look at what industry experts are predicting will be some of the hottest home trends for 2018.<\/p>\n

Brass<\/b><\/p>\n

Brass has been showing up in kitchens, baths, and lighting for a few years, but homeowners who were hesitant to take the leap can feel more confident next year. Brass accents are expected to be huge for 2018.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The end of the all-white kitchen?<\/b><\/p>\n

It’s been the dominant interior trend for several years now, with white cabinets, white subway tile, and white quartz or marble countertops dominating kitchen design. But, next year, don’t be afraid to add a little color. Everyone will be doing it doing it.<\/p>\n

“Houzz says white will always be a classic color for kitchen design, but homeowners are expected to throw in bits of color, especially other neutrals like gray and blue,” said inman. “In order to add a little warmth to such a cool palette, designers are ditching painted cabinets for warm wood<\/a> tones, such as mahogany.”<\/p>\n

Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n

Last year, hygge made a splash, bringing “the Danish concept of finding contentment in cosiness” to the home,” said The Independent. While we’re not quite ready to get rid of this homey trend, a new one is burgeoning: Ikigai. Will this lifestyle concept from Japan “help us live our best lives?”<\/p>\n

The central principle of Ikigai is about finding purpose in life, and covers everything from a mindfulness surrounding daily tasks and goals to social connections to what we buy\u2014and keep\u2014in our home.<\/p>\n

Wabi-Sabi<\/b><\/p>\n

Of course, don’t fear that following Ikigai means you have to be perfect. If you also follow the principle of wabi-sabi, “the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection,” said Country Living, you can relax your mind and enjoy your surroundings without needing everything to look just so. “In home design, this translates to handmade or hand-painted items including rough linens and pottery. The result? A deeply personal, organic aesthetic.”<\/p>\n

Into the purple<\/b><\/p>\n

Ultra Violet, a rich, dark purple, is Pantone’s new 2018 color of the year, so if you’re a fan, you’ll have lots of options for incorporating it into your home in 2018.<\/p>\n

Lavender<\/b><\/p>\n

If Ultra Violet is too dramatic for you, there are other options within the purple family that designers say will be hot for 2018. “Millennial pink\u00a0is still around and I still love it, but it’s morphing into lavender and\u00a0lilac,”\u00a0Nancy Fire, creative director of HGTV HOME, Design Works International and Studio NYC Design told House Beautiful. “People were sarcastic about millennial pink at the beginning, but it’s being used to bring out beautiful, soft tones with accents that are deeper.”<\/p>\n

The end of gray?<\/b>> In other very important color news: “Beige and brown are back,” said Gates Interior Design<\/a>.\u00a0“If you never got around to embracing the grey trend, well guess what? You’re back in!”<\/p>\n

A sink to remember<\/b><\/p>\n

Popularized in large part by HGTV’s Chip and Joanna Gaines, the farmhouse sink has earned superstar status in the kitchen. But, they have mostly been stainless steel. Not so in 2018. Houzz predicts “warmer hues and grittier textures,” with “concrete, stone, copper and granite composite sinks in darker hues of gray, bronze or black.”<\/p>\n

Circles<\/b><\/p>\n

Geometric shapes aren’t going anywhere, but we may be seeing more than linear shapes next year. “Hard geometrics are going to be huge, and I think circles are the new triangle,” interior designer Genevieve Gorder told House Beautiful. “You can start small with\u00a0accent pillows\u00a0or dive in with\u00a0graphic wallpaper.<\/p>\n

Non-linear shapes are also showing up in other areas, like these curvy couches.<\/p>\n

Standout lampshades<\/b> Make a little, no-commitment update by addressing your lampshades. “White drum lampshades, begone,” said My Domaine. Anna Brockway, co-founder of\u00a0Chairish, told them, “We’re seeing strong interest in pleated, patterned, and even wicker lampshades. This is a great way to get a sophisticated, decorated look and bring freshness to existing lighting pieces.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
