THE DESIGN TRENDS THAT WILL BE IN AND OUT IN 2019
Here's what trends will be big on the home front next year—and which ones have overstayed their welcome.
OCT 5, 2018
1. IN: FLORAL FABRICS AND WALLPAPERS
"The traditional beauty of floral patterns, either abstracted or straight up chintz, will be the pattern to use." — Erin Gates of Erin Gates Design
2. OUT: IKAT AND TRELLIS PATTERNS
"The reproduced to death geometric trellis patterns and ikats will make your room look dated." — Erin Gates of Erin Gates Design
3. IN: RICH JEWEL TONES WITH AN EDGE
"Right now, I am loving deep, rich jewel tones with an edge. Bold indigo, hunter and emerald green, and dark teal all feel ready to have a moment outside of the kitchen. We’re layering living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms with paints, fabrics, accessories, and rugs in these colors to create drama against a backdrop of white architectural elements." — Jeff Andrews of Jeff Andrews Design
4. OUT: COOL GRAYS
"I’m moving away from the cooler, gray tone neutrals right now in favor of stark white and warmer neutrals." — Jeff Andrews of Jeff Andrews Design
5. IN: BOLDLY PATTERNED BACKSPLASHES
"Simple, monochromatic kitchens have had a good long run, so we will be gravitating toward making a little more impact in their kitchens, whether that's with bolder color choices or graphic tiles. Either way, I predict we will be seeing more pop and punch in kitchens!" — Amy Sklar of Sklar Design
6. OUT: TERRAZZO TILE
"I would tread lightly with the terrazzo trend. It is a lot of look, and if you tire of it, it's not an easy fix (especially floors!)." — Amy Sklar of Sklar Design
7. IN: SUSTAINABLE, HANDMADE PIECES
"Items made by hand using sustainable materials like jute, rice paper, and clay will be in, in 2019. We see people needing these grounding elements in their homes as a way to feel more in touch with the earth and their roots." — Kristen Peña of K Interiors
8. OUT: SHIBORI, MUD CLOTH, AND INDIGO
"In 2019, people will use less of handmade materials like shibori, mud cloth and indigo because of their louder appearance. We feel people are looking for more calm in their current environments." — Kristen Peña of K Interiors
9. IN: FOUR-POSTER BEDS
"In uncertain times, people tend to want spaces that bring a sense of comfort and safety. A four-poster bed provides that type of feeling. It's the closest thing you can get to a hug from a piece of furniture." — Amy Sklar of Sklar Design
10. OUT: FIBER ART
"One trend I think may need to take a rest in 2019 is fiber art everywhere, but especially in the bedroom. I love a good weave as much as the next person, but as we have hit a saturation point, we are veering dangerously close to macramé owl overload of the 1970's." — Amy Sklar of Sklar Design
11. IN: BOHO VIBE WITH A TWIST
"The boho vibe is back but with a vintage modern twist and curved lines. Layering and patterned fabrics is something you will see again, but this time around, they will be a bit cleaner and brighter. Curved furnishings and softer lines and mixing of modern and vintage is what we expect for 2019." — Dolores Suarez of Dekar Design
12. OUT: ROOMS WITHOUT COLOR OR TEXTURE
"Something that will be out are rooms that feel overly designed with only one look. Mixing of styles is what’s coming in now, so not having everything be one note of mid-century modern with all the same wood color and style is key." — Dolores Suarez of Dekar Design
13. IN: ACRYLIC FURNITURE
"Acrylic can give a room the architectural structure it needs without taking up visual real estate. We see acrylic as a fantastic foundational piece in a small space, like an entry, to provide a surface that can be layered with more organic items and not feel busy." — Kristen Peña of K Interiors
14. OUT: COPPER FURNITURE
"While copper was flashy and fun in the age of millennial pink, we see it on its way out, making room for more natural-looking metals." — Kristen Peña of K Interiors
15. IN: MIXED METAL ACCENTS
"An ensemble of metal accents (no more than a mix of two to three different metal accents) used throughout a room is in, and will always be a timeless and tasteful way to create balance and definition in an environment. For example, brass, gold or nickel accents mix well with either oil-rubbed bronze or aged iron accents. Metals like silver and pewter can mix well with bronze and black brown metals. It’s all about moderation and context." — Keita Turner of Keita Turner Design
