08 Mar Coldwell Banker Caine’s 2018 Home Decor Madness!
Home decor trends come and go, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed trying to keep up. At the beginning of each new year, design experts predict what’s going to be in, stay in, and go out of bounds. Narrow it down to a few of favorites to try in your home instead of taking all of them on at once.
In honor of the big basketball tournament this month, here’s an assist – a decor bracket you can use to decide which trends to put in play and which ones to bench. Whether you implement just one winner or your top four, it’s a guaranteed slam dunk!
Before you fill out your bracket, take a quick timeout to look through the options below.
Statement Piece: Lampshade vs. Floor
While stunning floors can definitely bring the “wow” factor, a statement lampshade is a little easier to replace, which makes this idea future-proof.
Our pick: Statement lampshade
Furniture: Velvet vs. Curvy
A curvy couch makes a modern statement, but velvet may be easier to incorporate into your existing decor, especially if you start with an accent chair.
Our pick: Velvet
 |
 |
Color Scheme: Black & White vs. Jewel Tones
Black and white is a classic combination, but rich, jewel tones add elegance to any room.
Our pick: Jewel tones
 |
 |
Patterns: Floral vs. Geometric
While floral and botanical prints are wonderful in spring, it can be difficult to mesh with your seasonal decor throughout the year. Geometric is sure to please!
Our pick: Geometric
 |
 |
Light Fixtures: Artisan vs. Vintage
Artisan styles are always changing, but what goes around always comes back around, which leads us to believe that vintage may be your best bet.
Our pick: Vintage
 |
 |
Bath & Kitchen Fixtures: Brass vs. Mixed Metals
Going all brass is a bold move. Why not have it all? You can with mixed metals!
Our pick: Mixed metals
Color: Lavender vs. Olive Green
While incorporating purple in home decor is said to increase your spirituality, green has two benefits: they say it can increase your wealth and heal your body.
Our pick: Olive green

Decor Style: Natural or Wabi-sabi
You can bring the best of nature indoors by adding plants, wood, and stone elements to your decor. Wabi-sabi, on the other hand, means embracing things that are authentic and have imperfections like hand-crafted pottery pieces.
Our pick: Both! Add some wood furniture with uneven grains or a plant in a handmade pot to easily incorporate these two fads at once.
We hope our little guide will help you carry your decor into 2018 with style. Click here to print out your Coldwell Banker Caine 2018 Home Decor Trends Bracket.
