With less than two months to go until 2018, we thought we’d look ahead to some of the most anticipated home decor and design trends of the new year. If you’re thinking 2018 will be the year you finally tackle that home reno or get a few rooms spruced up in anticipation of selling, try some of these trends to give your space an instant modern makeover.

1. Wabi-sabi: This Japanese design trend of “imperfection” embraces authentic, natural decor over showroom-ready stock products. Think handmade pottery, handsewn linens, and handcarved furniture so that the material and the artist’s unique characteristics show through. Time to hit up craft markets and art fairs this holiday season to stock up on decor for the new year!
2. Plants: Stock up on fresh greenery for the holidays, then keep that look going year-round by keeping plants in your space. From tiny terrariums to lush potted plants, a hint of green is an affordable way to freshen up any space.
3. Hood fans: While the hood fan/range hood in your kitchen might be an afterthought, make it a priority in 2018 to quickly refresh your kitchen. There are more options than you thought possible to give your kitchen the personality you want!
4. Check out Pantone’s 2018 colours of the year palette for some paint inspiration. After all, painting a room for a quick and easy refresh is a timeless tip year after year!
5. Fabrics and textures: This 2017 trend is carrying over, so keep those cute pillow covers, cozy throws and colourful rugs.
