When it comes to interior decorating, it seems nothing is off limits. And not a single trend is temporary. Yes, every year, new decorating trends emerge on the market, but the old ones are not forgotten. They are blended with current designs that are in favor. For example, although this year decorating trends include vintage elements, warm gray colors, and innovative furniture pieces, the last year’s brass, embellished walls and floral designs are still very much trendy. But, if you’ve decided to give your home a quick makeover on a budget, you’ll definitely love this year’s decorating trends. Almost all are easy to do yourself, and do not require a lot of your time, effort and money. Here are few that will most certainly interest you.
French Antique Mirrors
French antique mirrors seem to a never-ending decorating trend. And not just French antique mirrors, but almost every antique mirror available on the market, regardless of the era it was made in. This year, mirrors are again in favor. And you have a wide range of French antique mirrors to choose from. French antique mirror is certainly the piece you want as it will immediately enhance the look of a room. It will also make a room appear larger and accent it at the same time. Mysterious, traditional and stunning, the French antique mirrors are one of the most popular decorating trends for 2014.
Warm Grey Colors
Grey is ‘in’ again. But not the grey with green, blue and purple undertones. This year it’s all about warm grey colours – the ones that have beige, khaki, yellow, reddish or light-brown undertones. And the reason grey is back again is because this color is so versatile it can be used in every room. So, if you are bored with your beige walls, but are afraid to use something dramatic, colour walls in warm grey.
Taxidermy
Taxidermy has always been present in interior decorating, it just that this decorating trend never received much acknowledgment. Thus make room for taxidermy-style decorating pieces as life-like animals are no longer exclusive to hunting lodges only. Antlers, bears’ heads and horns are some of the most commonly used “pieces”, but feel free to be creative.
Wallpaper
Hanging wallpaper can give room a new look. You can either hang wallpaper on one wall or wallpaper an entire room. It is up to you. However, if you want to ensure a room screams style, then hang wallpaper on one wall only. The whole purpose of this trend is to accent a room. Thus go with wallpaper with vintage patterns.
Painted Furniture
Join the club of innovative and creative homeowners who use their imagination to turn old into a modern piece and paint their furniture. This is a very budget-friendly way to restore old furniture and is one of the reasons it has been widely accepted. So, ransack your attic and basement or visit thrift shops where you can buy second-hand furniture pieces and transform them into something beautiful, timeless and creative. This year it is all about bright and lively colours such as: yellow, pink or sky blue, so paint your furniture fun.
