Every new year brings forth new trends in interior design and 2019 is no different. This year, the styles that we can expect to see in various interiors mostly revolve around functionality and comfort and are welcoming various statement elements in the design such as oversized furniture pieces, bold colors, and statement wall art.
However, if you’re living in a small home or flat, you might feel like none of these can be applied to your interior without visually “suffocating” space, and you would be dead wrong. Here, we’ll explore various ways you can put together an interior that features all of this year’s favorites without making it feel overwhelming. Check them out.
Decide on the color palette
When it comes to colors you want to implement in your home’s design, bold is the way to go. While you should definitely refrain from painting your entire house in a bold statement color, you can choose to add it to the otherwise neutral design through a statement area rug, colorful throw pillows, a popping wall art piece (or an oversized painting) or by creating an accent wall that features your desired hue. This year, PANTONE’s color of the year 2019 is a vibrant Living Coral, which will definitely add a dose of soft elegance if you choose to implement it in your design.
Choose the right type of furniture
Next, you should consider the furniture you wish to have in your room. For instance, since the living room is the place where people spend the majority of their free time, you should consider adding an oversized seating solution. Since the living room is also the place where you’ll be welcoming all of your guests, it the seating solution you opt for should be super comfortable as well. Therefore, when choosing a sofa for your living room make sure it’s big, comfortable, multifunctional and stylish, just like the ones designed by King Living. Not only will a piece of furniture such as these be able to welcome all of your guests, but it will also be able to rock any style and color palette you choose to pair it with.
Pay special attention to details
You know what they say, the devil is in the details. Now, if the maximalist style is the one you want to go for, the details you choose to implement in your design should follow suit. So, instead of adding just regular throw pillows on your sofa, make sure to go with the oversized ones. Not only will they look simply amazing, but they are also super comfortable. Next, make sure that the area rug you’ve chosen as the base of your design is at least slightly bigger than your entire seating area because otherwise, it will look comically small compared to other furniture pieces.
Showcase your personal preferences
Furthermore, when trying to set up a beautiful interior, you should definitely include your personal interests and preferences in the design as well. For instance, if you like reading, add massive bookshelves in your living room and display all of your favorite books on them. Additionally, aside from books, add interesting trinkets to your bookshelves here and there as well. On the other hand, if you like traveling, display your souvenirs and other memorabilia. Basically, express your personality through carefully chosen décor pieces because that’s a surefire way to put together an interior where you’ll actually feel comfortable and content.
Put away your concerns
Yes, many people choose to avoid bulky oversized furniture and décor pieces when redecorating a small space, out of fear that they will make it feel even smaller. However, if you choose all of those pieces carefully – know when to go big and when to go regular – you’ll end up with a space that feels and looks warm, inviting and welcoming. As for colors, even though many advise to always go with the lightest of hues in small spaces, the room will still be the same size no matter the color you opt for, so choose the hue you really like and add it to your interior design without worrying too much. Trust us – it will look simply amazing!
As you can see, there really is no reason not to go with a maximalist style and bold colors in your interior if you like the style and feel like making a statement with the right hues. One thing’s for sure, you’ll end up with a beautiful and unique interior many will envy you on.
