With each New Year there comes a new buzz of design trends that are expected to be a big hit. Here are the #top9 design trends we are expecting to see a lot of in 2018:

Keep it simple by framing a series of floral prints to hang in place of artwork or go big by doing a whole accent wall in floral wallpaper.

Kitchens are now the centerpiece of home, not just a place to prepare meals. Homeowners are not just looking for a functional kitchen anymore; they are looking to design a space with a creative flair where more time is being spent. It comes as no surprise that kitchens and dining rooms are becoming one.

It is said that paying closer attention to pleasing our different senses when we are designing a space makes the space a more enjoyable and stimulating environment!

Lighting is hands down one of the most important features in every room. The right floor lamp can become a focal point in your design especially with all the amazing options out there!

Break the status-quo and take that marble backsplash to new heights. These counter and backsplash transitions show off the true beauty of a stunning slab of marble by covering more surface area!

Lively patterns, vivid colors and items with a story are IN and vintage rugs cover all three bases!

9. Organization ~ photo via @white_wood_kitchens

Getting creative with organization is a MUST, especially with the heightening demand for open shelving, which sacrifices storage space.
