Upcycling and Other Home Trends You’ll Love
Upcycling is all the rage these days as people are reusing objects or materials in new and exciting ways to create a product of higher quality or value than the original. Rather than adding to the amount of materials heading to landfills, savvy consumers are practicing upcycling whenever possible, to help save the planet for future generations and funnel their decorating dollars into highly targeted purchases. The act of giving an item a new life, whether you do it yourself or purchase it from a craftsman, will give you a product that is completely unique. Here are some exciting trends in home decor upcycling and more that can make your home feel special including Window Treatments, Verona to Montclair, and beyond!
People have been unleashing their creative side and approaching home decorating with an eye toward do-it-yourself projects including putting together dupes of their favorite designer pieces. Repurposing pieces to give them a new identity can help you save money on large-scale purchases like furniture which can eat up your budget for a room revamp. By saving on these big-ticket items, you can effectively use your hard-earned money for items that can give your space a fresh new look like gorgeous Window Treatments, Verona to Livingston, innovative new lighting or paint to give your room an improved vibe.
Wallpaper is a trend that was very popular, fell out of favor for a bit, and is making a resurgence. One reason is that homeowners today are committed to exotic decorating choices like natural fabrics, modern geometric designs, and even amazing wallpaper murals that catch guests’ eyes as they enter a home. Bold florals have appeared in many Instagram posts by people proud of putting up their own wallpaper. These are not the wallpaper styles you may have had in your childhood home growing up or saw when you visited your grandparents. Instead, large-scale prints can provide drama using foliage. Some people prefer to use a well placed border strip of a pattern or even position wallpaper on half the wall for a wainscotting effect.
Light toned woods are popular as a design trend with maple, ash, birch and bamboo being used for things like countertops. Window Treatments in Verona or Nutley are also seeing light colors for Real Wood Blinds and Shutters to match flooring, trim or furniture in a home.
