In 2018, look for less literal ways to express yourself.
Smart thermostats automatically adjust the temperature to keep you comfortable, but they also make your climate control systems more efficient. Some of the most popular options can save homeowners 10-12% on their heating bills, and 15% when it comes to cooling. I’ve added Fall colors with artificial stems throughout my home and splashing with buffalo check. I love finding great deals on seasonal decor and this entire place setting is about $5 (minus the white soup bowl which is from Macy’s). Look, guys, we know that crisp white bedding seems like a beautiful idea. But we live in the real world—one where kids, pets, and the errant wine glass pose quite the threat to your nice new stuff.

If you’re unwilling to let go of your chevron prints just yet, try incorporating more ornate versions of the pattern . Ah, 2017—the year of the pineapple, the flamingo, and the philodendron leaf. We’ll be the first to admit that we loved this whimsical and exotic trend that made us feel like we were permanently on vacation.

Putting new windows in living rooms or kitchens can completely change the look and feel of those spaces. You can make this aesthetic upgrade a money-saver too if you use energy efficient windows with wooden frames that naturally insulate better than aluminium ones. When I style areas of my home for Instagram or for other pictures, it’s very important to me to create spaces that immediately identify my cottage to the reader. Like when someone sees the picture, they immediately know it’s the Simply Southern Cottage or Sara’s home.

This is one fad Lauren Liess, interior designer and host of HGTV's Best House on the Block, is ready to retire. "Accent walls were big in the '80s and '90s and are an instant way to make a room look like it was decorated then," Liess explains. I gave our sunroom mantle a quick fall look by adding orange dollar store pumpkins that I chalk painted in white and grey for a more neutral look. I switched the summer florals and lanterns to basic black lanterns to give the room a simple, cozy, rustic feel. An overall minimalist look, this style is balanced and centered on organic and informal materials. Look for this inspiration in furniture styling and area rugs.
I love to make a warm fall welcome to our home with planters filled with white mums and heirloom pumpkins straight from our local pumpkin patch.

Likewise, old showers and toilets waste huge amounts of water whenever they are used.

No longer just a 1960s trend, velvet has proven to be a strong element in fashion and will continue to make its way into home décor in 2018. This multi-dimensional fabric adds warmth, depth and luster to upholstery, drapery, and accent pillows. You can easily incorporate velvet in curtains, bedding, and furniture. Everyone from Anthropologie to CB2 to Joanna Gaines is loving the classic combination of black and white—perhaps as a way of offsetting some of the season's more striking styles. A trend that many will be shocked to see making its way back into the new year.
Though muted colors can help you avoid making spaces feel overwhelming, designers believe that 2018 will be a year where bolder colors are preferred. Richer hues throughout your home can make your more muted furnishings and decorative decor pop. Lookout for dramatic reds, statement pinks, bold yellows and organic greens.
Black and white is a major upcoming design trend, but black walls shrink the space and absorb all the light. Instead, consider installing a darker floor and painting your walls in a brighter color. The contrast will prevent white walls from looking institutional, and you can even go for off-white if it seems more down-to-earth.
The aged finish adorns kitchen cabinets and living room furniture and shines as serveware and vintage-inspired light fixturesalike, as in this beautiful bathroom from One Kings Lane. Sinks will follow suit with darker, more daring designs. We've already seen it with the copper farmhouse sink trend, but also watch out for concrete and stone styles. Some may wonder why concrete has left the construction zone, yet 2018 will be the year it steps into many homes decor.

Take a look how this simple element created coziness and intimacy for its residents. Articles on architectural designs are rare for us plus this is our first article on the topic and we think that it will come as a beautiful surprise for all of you. Hardwood is coming into the bathroom in a big way next year, but it brings certain challenges along with it. Wood isn’t always the most resilient material, and it certainly isn’t the most environmentally-friendly decorating choice. Bamboo grows extremely fast, which means that you won’t be contributing to deforestation by using it. It’s also highly resistant to moisture, which means it will likely live longer if you’re using it in an area with plenty of water fixtures.
