Interior Design Predictions For 2018
Towards the last quarter of every year, interior design experts across the globe come together to make predictions about possible design trends that would rock the coming year. It’s that time of the year again. 2018 is less than 100 days away and design experts have started making their predictions. SPACE magazine’s Adeyinka Odutuyo shares the trends to look out for in 2018.
What’s new?
One major interior design trend that rocked spaces in 2017 is the 3D PATTERNED WALLS. This chic design for walls is an extended version of the wall paper design that made a comeback in 2015 and rocked 2016. Experts are saying the wall paper trend isn’t completely out of style, but the 3D patterned wall is gaining momentum in the design industry. This design is sure to make its way into 2018 as a lot of space users are still lagging behind.
Marble table tops and counter-tops; especially in shades of white and light grey continue to trend as they are still defining spaces in 2017.

Glitter walls are OVER!!!
You heard that right. The use of glitter on walls was an interesting way to breathe life into walls that had seemingly been dead or just appeared painfully boring. Thanks to wall paper and an extended version of wall papers, glitters just don’t do the trick anymore. If you are looking to revamp your wall with glitters, the glitz days are over!
What’s next??? Velvet, Typography and 2018!!!!
This year, Dulux’s colour expert Andrea Lucena-Orr says, “The one defining attribute with interior trends is that they’re continuously moving, changing one or more colours in your home will keep your interiors up-to-date forward” No wonder Sheila Irwin, a leading design expert and founder of Maison de Cinq, calls on general space users to hitch onto a velvety ride for 2018! “Velvet is a trend that started getting really big last year in fashion, and now it seems to be hopping over to design”

Typography
Designers predict that in 2018 messages would seep deeper into our homes. To be honest this is already a trend in a lot of homes. However, American design expert Michell Gage says on Realtor.com “It’ll become increasingly popular, given the way we all communicate on social media. It will remain more of a complement to a room’s story and live on in smaller finishing touches like pillows and art,”
