Spring brings us a sense of new beginnings, and many homeowners choose this time of year to bring some fresh design to their space.
There are 5 top design trends researched by Zillow's top interior design experts which made the grade in the 2015 Zillow Digs Trend Forecast. These popular trends aim to bring a luxurious, trendy vibe to any room. Check them out, and use these ideas at your will!
1. Gold Fixtures
Gold is making its comeback in 2015.
Though is has a bit of a retro-vibe, home designers are using bright bold with a sleek finish to modernize the color for a stylish alternative to silver or stainless steel.
Along with this, designers are now encouraging gold as an accent piece, mixing and matching finish colors for eye-catching design.
2. Cowhide
Yee-haw! Cowhide is officially the accent texture of choice for 2015's modern comfort-style homes.
It conveys "modern, yet approachable", and can work well in a variety of settings.
Try using a cowhide as a rug, throw blanket, or even an accent artwork this year.
3. Wallpaper
Another retro comeback, wallpaper is making its way into homes once more.
Use bold and graphic wallpaper to create an appealing accent wall, or add moderate texture to your wall coverings.
Large, digital prints are also making their way onto accent walls this year in the form of wallpaper, so be sure to take advantage of this digital-meets-home-design trend.
4. Blue Accents
Blue is the new black... in terms of accent colors, that is.
More specifically, we should say that blue is being used as the perfect complement to "Marsala" which is the 2015 Pantone Color of the Year.
What shades of blue, you ask? Zillow Digs home design expert recommends "pops of indigo blue or deep navy" as a perfect vibrant color to complement the more neutral tone of Marsala.
5. Mid-Century Modern Elements
One of the biggest up-and-coming design trends of 2015 is the use of mid-century modern elements.
The key word is elements, as experts advise homeowners to not saturate the entire house with this design. Instead, use choice pieces of furniture or artwork as centerpieces to design off of.
