A burnt yellow sofa and coordinating armchairs offer a welcoming place for friends to gather. In a dining room decorated in neutral shades, a white dining table and chairs upholstered in this yellow hue is elegant.
Brass Accents
Polished nickel and stainless steel are no longer the metals of choice for kitchen and bathroom fixtures. A lot of builders are using brass accents which are an alternative to stainless that adds warmth to a room. 2019 is the year that a selection of brass and other metals are used throughout the home.
A New Twist On A Traditional Favorite
Canopy beds were a trend in the 1980s, then went out of style. In 2019, expect to see a lot more canopy beds for bedroom suites.

Tiles are a design element that can transform a room while offering unlimited options with an array of color palettes. Complimentary and contrasting hues on the color wheel for walls and floors and geometric or abstract designs are trending. Whimsical, patterned tile is replacing the gray and white so often used for kitchen backsplashes in the last few years. Another new concept is tiles that are handmade instead of being cut by machine, and blue is the trendy color.
Florals And Geometric Patterns
Florals have always been a popular selection for wallpaper in a living room, dining room, or bedroom. The patterns for this year are taking a step away from traditional designs with more exaggerated patterns and a lot of contrasting color combinations.

When you want to give a room a bold, modern look, incorporate geometric patterns in vibrant colors. Shades of turquoise and blue are favorite for geometrically patterned backsplashes in the kitchen or master bath.
Matte Finishes

Black matte finishes for bathroom fixtures, grab bars, home accessories, and kitchen appliances are taking over in popularity. A lot of people like the industrial look and prefer fixtures and appliances with a flat finish rather than those with a lot of shine.
Natural Materials

For 2019, the emphasis is on using natural elements and sustainability. For spring and summer look for geometric patterns and earthy tones accented with colors like tangerine.

Beamed ceilings may feature sections of the ceiling painted in a contrasting color.
Stylish New Doors
One of the new trends in interior doors is that they're taller than the traditional six-foot, eight inch style popular for many years. Now doors are up to eight feet tall, with the same clean design. Inside a home, doors used to be painted white or stained to coordinate with the woodwork. More doors for the home interior are now painted with the wall color. Barn doors continue to be a trend. Since the hardware for barn doors is mounted over the opening which allows the doors to roll open and closed, the size of the opening doesn't have to be the same size as the door frame.
Rich Color Palettes
Bold, rich tones are one of the most significant trends this year. Muted hues are typically colors when you don't want your living space to be too overwhelming. However, designers are matching muted colors with bold, vibrant colors. Watch for pinks that make a decorating statement, reds that are dynamic, bright yellows, and organic, green hues.
For several years a lot of designers and homeowners have been decorating in cool colors, especially blues and greens. This year, there's a resurgence of bold, deep shades of red. Dark reds are a dramatic way to compliment grey or neutral tones.

In a room with exposed brick, deep green with patterned green area rugs, and tables with a matte finish provide a cozy, rustic look.

A decorator can combine the best elements of the 70s with new, patterns, vibrant colors, and natural-style elements to create stylish living spaces. Colors of the 70s were bright, earth tones. Favorite colors were harvest gold, avocado green, brown, and burnt orange. By toning down these colors and combining them with white pillows, rugs, and linens in a bedroom, you can create an updated version of the popular 70s style.
