Block Prints

Echoing the shift toward color and pattern over neutrals, the ancient Indian textile art of block printing is looking chicer than ever. Dress your entire bed...or just add some fresh throw pillows to your sofa setup.

Statement Rugs

Sayonara, jutes and sisals. So long, creamy Moroccan shags. The rugs of the moment invoke bold color, artful patterning and, generally, make a major style declaration.

Celestial Lighting

Folks are not only devouring their horoscopes—they’re also looking to bring the allure of the cosmos into their decor scheme, with modern takes on Sputnik chandeliers. Expect a major uptick in sunburst wall fixtures and riffs on the iconic mid-century design.

Black Sinks

First, matte black fixtures took Pinterest by storm. Then appliances took a turn for the dark and brooding. And now the kitchen sink is joining in on the chicness (we’re not mad about it).

Open Closets

Apparently everybody is Konmari'ing and Swedish death cleaning the crap outta their closets. The proof? Search is skyrocketing for en plein air storage solutions. Seems like a recipe for a hot mess bedroom to us, but kudos if you've caught the minimalista, decluttering fever.

Geometric Accent Tables

Ya gotta love a pop of wacky in a classic space. And side tables, with their equal blend of form and function, provide the perfect spot to get experimental.

Cement Tile

Cost-effective, textural and hardwearing (not to mention, a fabulous canvas for pattern), cement tiles are about to become the next big thing across flooring and backsplash for kitchens and bath.

Upcycled Decor

Joanna Gaines’s penchant for turning chicken coops into shelving units is having a ripple effect: Folks are searching for ways to repurpose objects as quirky decor and furnishings. (Think: Suitcases turned side tables and boat gear turned objets d'art).

Botanical Prints

ICYMI: Old-school botanical prints (originally used to identify plant species) are the art trend du jour. Hang 'em en masse in the foyer or living room for a fresh juxtaposition.
