If you have been rocking with INTERIORStyle for any period of time, then you know that my mantra is “your home should be a reflection of who you are” – those are words to live and decorate by.

In fact, mixing a few trendy decorative accents with your personal style will help your space feel “current” while still reflecting who you are. According to industry experts here are the some of the hottest home decor trends right now.
What’s Hot: 5 Home Decor Trends You Should Definitely Try
Home Decor Trend #1 – Velvet
What is that?! Velvet?! Why yes, it is. Velvet is a multi-dimensional fabric that adds a little personality to your space. I personally love velvet sofas but a headboard or throw pillows does an equally fabulous job of adding a touch of luxury or funkiness to any room.

Home Decor Trend #2 – Curves
Embrace the curves, baby! Ditch the L-shaped sectional and get a sexy, 70s-inspired curved sofa. They look great from every angle in the room and add an unexpected dash of style.

Home Decor Trend #3 – Metallics
It’s time to say goodbye to the usual, predictable stainless steel fixtures. Brass is back! Actually, it never left my space. I’ve loved gold and brass decor since I was an 8 yr old watching Dynasty in the 80s. Brass is a surprisingly warm and subtle alternative to the expected steel accents.
Home Decor Trend #4 – Purple Reigns!
Pantone has named Ultra Violent color of the year – expect to see it pop in very unexpected ways. Purple is often associated with power, royalty, and luxury. Go big and bold with a purple accent wall or piece of furniture. Or take the more subtle approach with a few purple decorative accessories.

Home Decor Trend #5 – Colorful Kitchens
Yes, the white or dark wood cabinets – granite countertops combination will probably always reign supreme. But why not inject your kitchen with a little personality by incorporating vibrant colors? Add a colorful backsplash; paint your lower cabinets or kitchen island an unexpected color like navy blue or green. Not quite ready for a major kitchen DIY project? No problem – a colorful rug, artwork or tablecloth are also great low effort ways to bring your kitchen to life.
