Top designers predict artisan light fixtures will be huge in 2018.

Some top designers are weighing in on what they think will be the trends in 2018. Here’s a quick list of what to watch for, explore, and maybe try in your own home:

• Light purples, lavender, and other soft tones
• Higher contrast rooms, with neutrals mixed with brighter colors
• More circle patterns in accents like pillows, art, and wallpaper
• Shades on the same color on both walls and furniture
• Less brushed silver and more copper or brass fixtures
• Richer color schemes, using more metals, gem tones, velvets, and sheek blacks
• Olive and chartreuse greens
• Localize wood, stone and other natural pieces
• Woven accessories
• Textured and layered wallpaper
• Trim in braver colors
• Broad variations of subway tiles
• Warmer colors
• Velvet couches, pillows, chairs or seat cushions
• Bolder patterns worked into the design
• Local artistry – especially in light fixtures
