Design Trends for 2016

With a new year, it's a great time to evaluate your home décor and see where you can go about freshening things up.  Giving a room a little bit of sprucing up can prove potentially beneficial for your health, improving your mood.  When it comes to design, however, trends can change just as rapidly as they do in industries like fashion.  Let's see some ways to keep your home fresh this year.

You know the old saying “a house is not a home”?  Home is a reflection of who you are, your interests, and your personality.  In 2016, it's still important to take a moment and make sure your home—whether you're using modern design furnitureor otherwise—is a reflection of your personality.  It's exciting when a guest walks into a room and gets a feel of who you are.

Antiques aren't for everyone, but designers predict that they will be a larger design trend this year, particularly European furniture antiques from the 17th through 19th century.

If money allows, consider doing a little traveling.  The world is full of fantastic architecture and great museums and visiting some of these places can be incredibly inspirational and give you an idea of what your tastes might be.  If you can't travel, the city you live in can be just as inspirational.  If you'd rather not spend too much time outdoors, photo-centric social networks like Instagram can also be a great way to get some ideas.
