5 Hot Interior Design Trends for 2016

As people make resolutions to start the new year off fresh–from diet and exercise plans, to new attitudes–why not use some of that new year momentum to give your home a facelift that's decidedly 2016? Get inspired with these simple, yet sleek ways to update homes of all sizes with some of this year's hottest interior design trends.

MIXED METALS

The days of monochromatic metals are gone. Combining metallic finishes such as brushed steel, black iron, hammered silver, gold leaf, copper, or oil-rubbed bronze add glitz to any space.

INDOOR / OUTDOOR LIVING

Outdoor kitchens, floor-to-ceiling windows, and livable atriums usher guests into gorgeous entertaining venues featuring unique local materials and foliage.

PENDANT LIGHTING

Make a statement simply by adding pendant lighting to a dining area and transform it from classic to mod (and anywhere in between) with a flick of a light switch.

TEXTURE

Juxtaposing different textures (like this rough wall treatment with a luxurious velvet chaise) is key in creating interest and depth to your interior.

FLORALS

This isn't your grandmother's sitting room: modern floral accents contribute the bold pop needed in neutral palettes.
