Shopping local

When it comes to some of the most popular mentor design trends you will find up there one of them is to make sure that we work with local artisans. This will add a lot of personality and richness to your design if you take the time to work with artists for your decoration and any local artisans who can make lamps or tables. This is not only good for a very locally grounded design, but it also allows you to create a very environmentally friendly design idea while allowing you to support local businesses. This is also a great way to save money by working with people to give you good prices on some custom pieces.

Vintage

In the same spirit of talking about very environmentally friendly design ideas using vintage pieces is a great way to not only elevate your decor but also find great bargains. Everything from Art Deco to the 1950s kitsch can find a place in a modern design if well placed. The trend of including vintage furniture as well as decorations has become even more prevalent now that many colors used to be very trendy back in the 1950s and 1960s or back in the modern taste pallets. This is why you will see some other trends on this list that pull from these vintage design philosophies. So, if you are planning to include vintage furniture in your living space matching them with that vintage trend is a great way to put together a room.

Stripes

Well, many years ago the inclusion of stripes especially on walls seemed like quite a jarring and tacky design choice the reality is that now it is back with a vengeance. Whether you’re designing a kitchen or a bathroom using some mix of light and dark colors like a dark red and a white or a light blue will allow you to not only have a lighter living space while adding color but in certain places like an apartment for example you might be able to make the room feel a little bit less cramped by giving it more height with a vertically striped design.

Marble

When it comes to luxurious materials used in interior design nothing beats marble especially white marble or mixed marble. While a lot of the trendy design ideas that come from the design industry currently are talking about the inclusion of marble vases or other small decoration pieces having a large marble piece as the centerpiece of your interior design in a certain room can be a great way to make the room feel more tied together. This is why for example beautiful marble worktops are very much still in vogue when designing a kitchen area. Not only is it beautiful but it is also extremely durable and incredibly easy to clean.

Wood paneling

Wood paneling is a trend that comes to us from the 1970s to the 80s but it is still very much a great way to make a room feel warm and cozy. What is extremely trendy currently is using dark wood to make a room feel more intimate whether it is an office a bedroom or simply a living room. While it brings a lot of warmth to the area it can be quite oppressive when it’s dark and color so it is very important to make sure to pair this wall design with some very light accessories that can give the room a proper balance in both warped intimacy but also breathability.

Centerpieces

While you might feel that designing a room completely around a single object might be excessive the reality is that if you have an interesting enough centerpiece, it is worth it. As we discussed earlier about the use of vintage furniture it can be done with for example a very interesting light fixture or a beautiful unique table. It is all about being able to put this unique part of your room at the very center of your design ideas so that it elevates your interior design. This is an interior design choice that allows you to be extremely bold by putting on display something very unique.

Stuff and Things

This might seem like an odd title, but the reality is that when we talk about stuff and things we talk about collectibles and memorabilia. While in many cases it might seem tacky to use this as a core element of your interior decor the reality is that nowadays it is very trendy to display those elements of your personality in a way that pulls a room together. Whether you collect unique ancient spoons or first-edition comics there is a way to tie your interior design into your favorite hobby to give the room a lot of personality that comes directly from you.
