Here we see a yellow dining room that really pops!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>What will this year hold?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going into the next year, a lot of us Louisville homeowners will be thinking about making a couple of changes here and there. I\u2019m here to give you my take on what you can expect in 2014. Here are some <strong>interior design trends<\/strong> that are on the top of my charts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Make it pop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s all about <em>color<\/em> this year. Hoping for a bright and shiny year, what will be trending will be some bright and shiny colors. A lot of yellow, turquoise blue and shades of red are what you want in your interiors. They\u2019re happy, energizing colors that bring out the best in your house, and you. Whether it\u2019s the wall color you choose or the fabric, it needs to pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Vintage patterns<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"229\" height=\"229\" src=\"https:\/\/trepryor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/interior_trends_bedroom.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of of bedroom with vintage patterns\" class=\"wp-image-7469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trepryor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/interior_trends_bedroom.jpg 229w, https:\/\/trepryor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/interior_trends_bedroom-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A great example of vintage patterns returning in today&#8217;s Louisville bedrooms.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>2013 was all about eccentric, modern patterns. Floral patterns that will give your rooms a certain vintage appeal is what you\u2019re looking at for the New Year. Get out those dusty, old-timey photo albums from when your grandma was a young girl and imitate them because it\u2019s time for a revival. Less geometric is the way to go for the true vintage feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. It\u2019s all about class<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time to stop being modernist just get back to basics. The sheen of modernism gives way to the class of the rustic. It\u2019s time for more wood and less metal. We\u2019re looking at earthy furniture, wooden flooring, and rustic accessories to downplay your rooms and give them a classy, earthy, homey feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Give some personal space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the trends that Louisville homeowners are already embracing is personal space within the house for members of the family. Whether it\u2019s a \u2018man cave\u2019 for the head of the house or a playroom for the kids, the house should boast special features catering to your loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Naturally yours<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/trepryor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/interior_trends_red.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of room using powerful reds\" class=\"wp-image-7470\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Use bold colors sparingly but when you do, they make a powerful statement.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Natural fabrics are here to stay. Roughly woven, a simplistic fabric that looks earthen and rustic is what\u2019ll match the style of your trendy room. Simplicity and not glamour is the key word here. No silks and velvets in 2014. Whether it\u2019s your rug or your cushions, it has to look rustic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Minimalism is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2014, less is more. Your rooms will need to look more spacy and airy. I\u2019m talking about less clutter and more substance. It will give your rooms a more relaxed appeal. There should be no flash in terms of your interior d\u00e9cor. Everything must look in place and sophisticated. No indulgence, please. Remember, less is always more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Don\u2019t forget the time!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Think big. Really big. If you\u2019ve got a big wall between a dual staircase that needs to be utilized there\u2019s no better way to make good use of it than to put up a clock complete with Roman numerals set into the high ceiling. Clocks will be used more to make a decorative statement on your wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. A room of your own<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" src=\"https:\/\/trepryor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/interior_trends_turquoise.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of room using turquoise to make a statement\" class=\"wp-image-7471\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">More examples of paired colors with these shades of turquoise, purple and brown, when done well will always be a <strong>good interior design trend<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time to give up the impersonal and embrace some character. Your rooms should speak of your personality and nature. Give your rooms a breath of life by adding some personal touches. I\u2019m talking about memorabilia and personal decorations. Your rooms should tell a story. The story of your life. Some of the upcoming houses in Louisville have special features for each member of the family including a home theater and playroom for kids and a craft for mommy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Bathrooms go more resort!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a survey, next to a kitchen renovation more homeowners want to update their bathrooms. Trends are moving to large walk-in showers, multiple shower heads, jetted bathtubs, and heated floors. Colors remain neutral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Go professional<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing you can carry over from the previous year it\u2019s a lesson in hiring a professional. If you don\u2019t want to go all professional there are options like hiring <a href=\"http:\/\/www.championwindow.com\/windows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Champion Window and Doors<\/a> for a consult. Decorating on a dime is fun but there are times when you\u2019d rather pay a little extra to get the professional touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trends keep changing time and again. But these interior design trends are here to stay. Well, at least for the year that\u2019s ahead anyway. Louisville, it\u2019s time to update and reconnect. Let the good times roll!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2014 is finally here. It\u2019s time to discard the old and bring in the new!
