Home Decor Trends: 8 Patterns to Watch
Incorporating patterns into your home decor is a simple way to add a touch of personality to your space. From traditional checks to eye-catching abstracts, you can add style with rugs, throw pillows, duvets, curtains, or wall hangings.
1. Buffalo Check Plaid
The classic buffalo check pattern is back in style and available in a wide range of shades and scales. For a feminine twist on this holiday-favorite pattern, consider combining oversized buffalo check print with small polka dots.
2. Geometric Shapes
Geometric shapes like triangles, diamonds, and hexagons bring a contemporary edge to a space, but also pair well with patterns that are softer and less angular, like florals.
3. Botanical Prints
Graphic plant prints like palm leaves, ferns, and banana leaves continue to be popular in modern decor. An abstract botanical print on bedding adds a subtle touch, while a striking banana-leaf print on wallpaper, pillows, or artwork keeps things contemporary.
4. Animal Prints
Animal prints make a trendy addition to a room filled with color and pattern. These versatile prints read almost like a neutral, especially when done in a tone-on-tone style. When incorporated with other prints, they can become the most subdued of the group.
5. Greek Key Motif
The Greek key pattern has been used since ancient times on buildings and architecture, and is now appearing on home accessories and fabrics. Consider modernizing it through color. For example, the ancient motif can get a modern update when used as a soft purple wall treatment in a bedroom.
6. Herringbone Pattern
The herringbone pattern is emerging as the current home decor trend when it comes to linear geometric patterns. Giving the previous front-runner chevron a run for its money, herringbone is being used in structured looks as well as fluid, hand-drawn formats.
7. Hand-Drawn Designs
The imperfect appearance of patterns that look like they are drawn by hand adds a personal touch to your decor. You can even create your own pattern by grabbing some markers and doodling. However, consider starting with pencil lines and practicing on scraps of wood or fabric before starting your project.
8. Irregular Polka Dots
Polka dots get a sophisticated update with this nonuniform version. To make it even more interesting, the pattern resembles popular animal prints like leopard and cheetah, and can also be associated with the hand-drawn trend.
