Refresh Your Home This Spring
Posted on April 7, 2017 by Laura Lucky
Attention, design lovers: Spring is officially here and Pinterest gave us intel on this season’s top home trends from its official 2017 trend report, and the décor you have to look forward to is delightful. Think modern acrylic accents, glimmering copper and the Danish way of staying cozy even as the temperature outside warms up.
COPPER
Go beyond silver and gold (and avoid the slight brass overkill of 2016) by incorporating a fashionable copper accent to your space. Interest in copper on Pinterest is up 90 percent, and its uses are versatile: Add a touch of glamour to a tablescape with a copper vase, make a statement with a copper light fixture or try out copper flatware.
ACRYLIC
The growing interest in acrylic is perfectly, er, clear: Searches for acrylic decor have increased by 50 percent on Pinterest, and the material is quickly appearing on everything from modern tables to chic floating frames. If you’re working with a small space, see-through acrylic furniture can also be a strategic choice to help open up the room.
WOOD TILES
Care for an alternative to subway tile? Add wood tile to just about any surface, and imagine Joanna Gaines complimenting you on your rustic-but-chic style. Interest in wood tile has increased by 51 percent on Pinterest, and we’re seeing it on everything from kitchen islands to fireplaces.
HYGGE
It may have earned its critics along the way, but the world just can’t get enough of hygge, the Danish concept of living simply that’s pronounced like “hoogah”: Interest in it has increased by 285 percent on Pinterest. To follow the “decorate cozy, live simply” mantra yourself, outfit your home with flickering candles (the Danes are the biggest consumers of candles in the world, after all), cover your couches with throw blankets galore and display a few of your favorite books on the coffee table.
NAVY BLUE INSTEAD OF BLACK
Just about everyone loves Scandinavian design, but this spring, designers are turning away from the go-to matte black and crisp white color scheme, and more toward navy and deep blue tones. Lend your space a moody element with a velvet sectional or a high-gloss statement wall.
