Fun wallpaper is trending as a way to give your room that extra wow-factor! Surprised? With all of the fresh, high-impact wallpapers coming onto the scene, what was once considered an eyesore is now an artful statement.
We would suggest using decorative wallpaper in a room that has subtle decorations so that it doesn’t overwhelm the design, but rather create depth and intrigue where it may have been lacking. Wallpaper even has the ability to add the appearance of layered texture, or create actual texture through raised patterns.
This is an easy trend to incorporate into your home and will effectively draw attention to certain areas. Be sure to do some research and check out all of the awesome new looks you can achieve with wallpaper!
Mix your favorite design styles

Not all design styles will work well together, but many pair up quite nicely! For example, if you enjoy both sophistication and warmth, you may consider combining a transitional style with a warm bohemian style. The bohemian touches will soften the more modern elements of the room!
Mixing design styles helps your room design become more dynamic and interesting. You may have to step outside of your comfort zone, but the results are often worth the risk!
Incorporate Moody Florals

Dark, moody florals are trending for furniture, accessories, and textiles, and are often used when looking to give the room a classy, vintage feel. Patterns that create a similar mood often include greenery and wildlife as well.
The key when incorporating moody patterns is to not overwhelm the room with them. Try one statement piece, perhaps an accent chair or a large piece of artwork that has this style; otherwise you may end up with a look that seems more outdated than refreshed.
The goal is to add a bit of vintage flair without the overall look appearing aged!
Go Green!

Houseplants add a nice touch of nature no matter what room you put them in. Fresh herbs are now a popular trend for the kitchen, and flowering plants and/or lush greens are great for adding a natural, airy feel to your living room, sunroom, or bedroom.
Living things literally liven up the space they are in, and plants improve the air quality which actually has the ability to improve your mood!
Add Ombre Touches

If you are not familiar with ombre, it refers to a color pattern that involves colors blending into each other, typically from light to dark. The pattern can involve two colors or several.
Incorporating ombre a great way to create intrigue through color. If you would like a more subtle touch of this look, you can incorporate elements of ombre that use various shades of the same color scheme. For example, if the primary color of the room is blue, you can vary the colors of the ombre from dark blue to light blue.
However, if you are looking to add a more bold touch of ombre to the room, you can also incorporate ombre that has one color bleeding into a whole different color. No matter how you use it, ombre is typically a great way to add color in an unobtrusive way!
Some ideas for adding ombre to your rooms could be through a large living room or dining room rug, curtains, artwork, or perhaps even an accent chair; if you really love the idea of ombre, you can even subtly incorporate it throughout an entire room through varying shades of furniture and decor!
