A new year means a fresh start, and what better way to kick off 2014 than by updating the look of your home. All it takes are a few simple changes to breathe life into familiar spaces. This year\u2019s interior design trends<\/strong><\/span><\/a> are all about creating dramatic impact from simplicity, because the looks are simultaneously more bold and more accessible than ever before. We\u2019ve carefully chosen 10 of the most prominent trends for you to try. Not cheesy, not overdone, these trends are sophisticated enough to stick around for a long time to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturated Colors<\/span><\/strong>
\n\"SaturatedLeave gray, beige and greige in the rearview mirror in favor of deeply-saturated hues like navy and plum. In fact, navy is considered a new neutral for its ability to blend with other colors and styles. If a darker shade on the wall seems too scary, start with a piece of furniture like a sofa or sectional as your focal point and work from there.<\/span>
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n

Rich Fabrics<\/span><\/strong>
\n\"\"Leave behind simple cottons and linens and embrace the luxurious velvet, earthy suede and even textured corduroy. These fabrics are sophisticated yet durable, and can hold up to the darker color schemes popular for 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern Takes on Classic Patterns<\/span><\/strong>
\nFloral patterns are in and always will be\u2014just not your grandma\u2019s florals. House Beautiful suggests taking a bold approach, mixing patterns to modernize the overall look. Shop for funky takes on classic chintz and toile to keep things fresh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sculptural Artwork<\/span><\/strong>
\nBranch out beyond framed prints and make your 2014 art collection stand out. Sculptural pieces add dimensionality to your walls. A range of materials and textures like felt, horn, ceramic and even macram\u00e9 create unique focal points and conversation topics. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"High Style at Low Prices<\/span><\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Haute design trends have never been more affordable, thanks to retail innovations including collaborations with famous designers. Stores like Target have upped the ante by providing affordable trends to the masses while they\u2019re still \u201cau courant\u201d. Now, even non-designers are totally in the know.<\/span>

Goodbye Matchy – Matchy<\/span><\/strong>
\n\"\"Armed with more availability and knowledge of design trends than ever before, 2014 consumers can take bigger risks. We all know that harmonious colors don\u2019t have to match, and the same goes for pattern finishes. Don\u2019t be afraid to bring different colors, textures and finishes into your space. You\u2019ll be surprised at how far you can push the boundaries and still create a cohesive look. Think outside the style box The confidence to try bold trends and mix finishes means a broader interpretation of design styles. There is no longer a need to place styles in fixed categories like \u201ctraditional\u201d, \u201crustic\u201d, \u201cindustrial\u201d or \u201ccountry.\u201d Homes in 2014 will represent an eclectic array of stylistic influences. Picking items that speak to you individually will keep you from conforming to a rigid or overdone look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meaningful accessories<\/span><\/strong>
\n\"\"Less is more when it comes to decorative objects around the house. 2014 will leave behind kitschy, purposeless accessories. Choose objects, artwork and photos with personal significance to keep your decorative collection from getting out of hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Natural elements<\/span><\/strong>
\nNatural materials are incorporated not just into wall art, but fabrics and furnishings, too. Cowhide is making a big appearance in the textile realm in a variety of colors and applications.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
