Arrange space for yourself
The main trend of 2018 is to be yourself.
And finally, this trend has become relevant in the world of interior design!
People are so fed up with glossy, impractical interiors that they boycotted!

Living room design: 70s back on the crest of a wave
Juicy shades and intricate shapes - a fashionable trend in the design of living rooms.
And yes, this is a curse on the freedom-loving and stylish 70th.
Modern retro-style eliminates the manic desire to recreate the interior with photos of your grandmothers to the last detail.
On the contrary, the combination of external imitation and modern rethinking of interior items is welcomed.
Are you creative and brave?
Then mix decorative elements from different eras!
But in any case, do not forget about your own comfort.
After all, in the end, the meaning of all retro-interiors is that they are endlessly cozy and familiar.
We are looking for a constructive solution
And in this case, talking about furniture.
In the trend of 2018, furniture designer, capable of performing several functions at once.
And although for the post-Soviet space the sofa, which turns into a bed with a flick of the wrist, is far from unusual, the interest of world-famous designers to such metamorphoses is promising.
After all, who knows what the most ingenious minds of interior design will come up with?
The fact that in the West it is now fashionable to call “smart furniture” is today represented on the domestic market by a wide range of furniture product lines:
- built-in home offices
- children's furniture with the prospect of “growth”
- Hidden Storage Headsets
We recommend that you pay attention to the furniture with lighting. Thanks to the different light scenarios, it will be easy for you to switch from one zone to another, literally without changing your location.
Obvious, but true: furniture-designer - a cool solution for any small apartment.
New in 2018: multi-level coffee tables
Table as a work of art.
Such a concept was announced by living room furniture manufacturers in 2018.
Since the functionality of the coffee tables is very conditional (well, the truth is the same!), Their creators decided to award their creations with sculpturing and deep aesthetic content.
The universal glass in its multi-tier composition of the coffee table opens for us in 2018 from a new side.
Soft velvet and rough skin
O yes!
Soft, affectionate, so pleasant to the touch velvet - the main material of 2018 for the upholstery of headsets in the living room.
In combination with the rounded shapes of the 70s and a rich palette of this season (We told about the 8 most fashionable shades of this year here) is something fantastic!
This is really a vent for those who are turned back by the Soviet leveling and tasteless Euro-repairs of the nineties.
A worthy and equally popular alternative to mimish plush is leather. And in the most natural brown shades. It perfectly combines both with warm and with a cold palette of shades, and legends can be made about the durability of natural leather. So this is a very profitable investment in your own interior.
Modern ideas: dark and open
If we talk about “solid headsets”, or rather, cabinets and other storage systems, then in 2018, designers recommend to prefer dark shades instead of light ones.
And so that the space visually does not seem heavy, discard the closed walls and canisters in favor of open shelves and racks.
Shelves can occupy wall completely or some part of it, and the rack may well serve as a partition between different zones.
Sharp angles behind
In place of impulsive and bold triangular prints came more restrained and delicate ovals.
They can be found on carpets, curtains and even individual pieces of upholstered furniture for the living room.
Ovals are not as dynamic as triangles, but much more interesting than circles or rectangles. Using various “oval” combinations, you can achieve unexpected visual effects.
Although, if in doubt, just start with new cushions with the appropriate print.

Elegant watercolors - must-have 2018
Lightness, transparency, light - such associations come to mind at the mention of watercolor.
We hurry to inform!
Watercolors on the walls - it is fashionable!
And there are a lot of options how to use them in the interior of your living room!
- Modular pictures
- wall panels
- painting the walls a la watercolor
No wonder the art of drawing with watercolor used to be taught in the boarding houses of all noble maidens.
If your living room lacks romance, femininity, tenderness - try this trend, and about the results write to us in the comments.
Fashionable interior: immersion in new facets
Gray has more than 50 shades. And not only him.
The truly chic trend of 2018 is already an “tone-to-tone” interior.
The essence of the concept is that in the same space, similar shades of the same color are used. Thanks to their overlap, space seems to come alive and perceived as deeper, more multifaceted, and interesting.
Layer by layer you immerse yourself in color and discover for yourself in it all new and new facets. And this process is endless!
Such an interior will never cease to amaze you!
Wallpaper agate
Trend for fans of exclusive and creative solutions - agate wallpapers.
This stone has already captivated the hearts of many fashion mods.
Now he crept into their homes!
Unobtrusive and, at the same time, surprisingly complex pattern of agate, according to many designers, is ideal for creating an accent wall.
Look at this trend more attentively - maybe this is exactly what you have been looking for so long?
Art lamps
Lamps have long ceased to be something particularly useful and boring.
This year, unusual lamps, chandeliers and especially sconces will become a fashion interior design.
Tired of choosing between cold white and warm yellow? Give preference to blue, red, green.
Yes, in 2018 this is not only possible, but also very fashionable!
Black laconic loft lamps on a long shoe are still relevant, but in the living rooms they are losing their positions.
You should not dwell on the chandeliers in the spirit of the Bolshoi Theater or something more eccentric and cumbersome.
In 2018, it is time to change the ceiling lights on the wall.
So cozier.
Carpet Mold
Perhaps, one of the strangest trends for our latitudes in fashionable interior design is the fashion for faded carpets.
Of course, they bring interesting “raisins” into modern interiors and give them a certain mystery and authenticity.
But it’s scary to imagine if the NEW carpet looks like this, what will it look like after a couple of years of constant use.
But trend is trend. And we must introduce you to him.
And he is good or not - decide for yourself.
If you do not plan to stop in the living room, but plot overhaul, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with our article Design apartment 2018: photos of modern ideas.
