Believed that all-white kitchen was timeless? Reconsider that thought. Home design trends come and go – and in 2018, one look that’s on its way out could actually cause your own home to sell at a lower price.
Here’s a peek at five design trends you’ll be seeing much more of in 2018, and three it’s time to kiss goodbye (particularly when one of your New Year’s resolutions is to sell your home).

5 Home Design Styles for 2018 (as well as 3 Fads That Have to be gone )
Floral prints
Interior design experts predict floral prints in bold, contrasting colors probably will make a massive comeback in 2018, particularly on large billowing fabrics, like drapery, together with chairs and throw pillows.
Statement floors
Forget statement walls – 2018 is going to be about statement floors. From bold colored geometric tiles to soft herringbone-style hardwoods, count on seeing fab floors everywhere the coming year, specifically in bathrooms and laundry rooms. They’re an excellent way to complete a small room pop, without adding clutter.
Light wood cabinets
Homeowners are gravitating toward medium and light wood cabinets, particularly with flat fronts and clean lines. The warmth, texture and natural element wood cabinets add assist in making the space feel more pleasing.
Warm neutrals
From warm reds to caramel browns to soft beige, moodier color palettes, both on walls as well as in artwork, are going to be popular in 2018.
Matte metal hardware
The type of drawer pulls and light fixtures would you prefer with those wood cabinets? Matte metal! Homeowners are moving away from shiny silver- or gold-accented kitchen hardware – they might make the space feel cold.
2017 fads to forget
All-white kitchens
This look has actually been popular for some time, but it’s on the way out, as reported by the Zillow Home Trend Forecast.
Anticipate seeing more color in kitchens the coming year, specifically if the homeowner is preparing to sell. Zillow data shows homes with blue kitchens sell for $1,800 greater than homes with white kitchens.
Adding texture and color in the kitchen will help make the space feel more inviting. “While homes with all-white kitchens can be beautiful in photos, they are hard to keep clean and they may sell for less money,” says Zillow home design expert Kerrie Kelly.
You’ll see designers and bloggers painting their kitchen islands navy blue or deep red (possibly even purple!) or using white countertops to contrast with medium or light wood cabinets.
Bar carts
While perfectly staged bar carts look beautiful, the majority of people don’t use theirs on a daily basis. Instead, the carts take up space and collect dust.
But don’t do away your cart at this time! Experts predict a shift toward coffee carts, which might be equally trendy, but significantly more practical.
Succulents
Succulents are really simple to care for and relatively affordable, but a great number of other vibrant indoor plant choices are available. Nobody’s saying to toss out your beloved Haworthia, but do consider incorporating other plant varieties into your home – possibly a palm or hearty fiddle-leaf fig.
