Your Charleston home is your castle and
its decor is a unique artistic expression of your tastes and aesthetic. In
order to keep your home decor looking fresh and up to date rather than stale,
it’s important to pay attention to the trends as they shift and change. This is
especially important if you are selling your home, because outdated décor can
make a negative first impression on the buyer.
If you are planning to redecorate this
year, what are the hottest trends when it comes to home décor in 2014?
A
Breath Of Fresh Air
Benjamin Moore Paints has announced
their 2014 Color of the Year, which
is a powdery sky blue hue called “Breath of Fresh Air”. It’s a gentle pastel
colour that works well with neutrals such as brown, grey and white and can also
complement other blue and green hues in the same colour family. It looks sweet
and modern and it is vibrant enough to make an impact while being pale enough
not to draw too much attention to itself. Why not consider incorporating this
light blue, or other shades like it, into your décor?
Pattern
Trends For 2014
Last year, the trend of the moment was
colour blocking. However, these days the hottest thing at the moment is
patterns that have a white background and a historic themed repeating print. For example, this might include
wallpaper, drapes or fabrics with a floral print or a vintage design on white. Another
popular trend is geometric shapes, especially triangles and chevrons. These are
often seen in bright and vibrant colours, sometimes also with a white
background.
A
Touch Of Handmade Elegance
Another interesting home décor trend of
the moment is incorporating hand-made items into the room. This could include a
hand-knit throw that is draped over a sofa, or an embroidered cushion. If you
are crafty, you could make these items yourself. Otherwise, you could purchase
these one of a kind pieces from your local artisans or only at shops such as Etsy.com.
These are just a few hot 2014 home décor
trends to get you started on your decorating project. Be creative and have fun
while decorating your Charleston home, so that you can create a unique and
original place where you will feel happy and inspired.
