The biggest trend in decor may be that there is no longer a seasonal shift in style.
WARM AND WELCOMING:
“Cosy seems to be the buzzword for 2018,” says Joan Craig, partner at Lichten Craig in Manhattan, N.Y. “Every client this year has told us they want their home to be soft, warm, relaxed, luxurious … and easy.”
Miami-based designer Phyllis Taylor says her firm is getting requests for ethanol-based fireplaces, which don’t require venting, for use as room dividers, in master baths, dining rooms and on TV walls. “These fireplaces are a luxurious focal point, giving a space an unexpected touch of cosiness and glamour.”
Quiet colour palettes are part of this esthetic. Think muted sugar hues, deep limpid blues and fog.
“We think ‘greige’ is making a re-emergence in 2018,” says Los Angeles-based lighting, furniture and product designer Brendan Ravenhill. “A mix of grey and beige, the colour brings warmth to wood and whitewashed spaces.”
Melissa Lewis, of Lewis Giannoulias Interiors in Chicago, says there’s a new way to tweak the perennially popular combo of grey and white: Envelop the space.
“Take the warm neutrals and paint them on everything — doors, trim, walls, etc. The unilateral colour makes any space feel much more refined and welcoming,” she says.

GETTING IN SHAPE(S):
Other designers are excited about the proliferation of patterns, shapes and textures.
“I think people are less afraid to use pattern in bigger spaces,” says L.A. designer Amy Sklar. “Patterned tiles for kitchen backsplashes and bathrooms are going strong, and I’ve also been using patterned runners for stairways and hallways. It’s a fun way to add a little personality without overwhelming the space.”
Floral and garden patterns are cropping up everywhere, especially exaggerated ones. “The wackier the better,” says Thorp.
THAT ’70s SHOW:
Interior design’s relationship with fashion and glamour has placed new focus on the 1970s and ’80s.
The young and daring will find New York designer Jonathan Adler’s new pieces chic and fun. Inspired by Studio 54 — the famed ’70s-era NYC nightspot — the seating in his Bacharach collection combines velvet upholstery and brushed brass bases.
Another feature of this ‘70s style? A palette of happy hues like daffodil, gumball pink, acid green and sky.
