I am frequently asked, "What is your favorite new trend?" I personally allow trends to appear and fade with little attention, because all good design is timeless. Most trends are bound to look dated and overused within five years, so why not design your home with elements that can be enjoyed for many years?
When it come to trends, I think of my home and closet in the same way. Key pieces like furniture, rugs, and lighting should be classics, much like a tailored blazer, pencil skirt, and trench coat. These are investment pieces, that will last for many years. If you want to throw in a trendy side table or pillow, these can be your fun pieces, that may fade with the passing of time, much like a trendy scarf or pair of fur lined slip ons.
Your home should be a welcoming and comfortable place for you to enjoy all year round. Albert Hadley is a perfect example of timeless design and I look to his work for inspiration. Many of his rooms were designed forty or more years ago, but still look fresh and up to date. Rather than running through new trends for 2018, I thought I would share some of my favorite looks for updating your home in 2018.
