For those of you still obsessed with all things chevron, herringbone is a great way to move away from your favorite trend of yesterday. Use it as an excellent accent to furniture, rugs, throws and even curtains.
2. Rustic nautical

We’ve seen stripes pop up in recent years, but in 2014 we’re noticing a love for all things nautical. From the lovely red, white and blue to rustic oars and rope, this is an exciting look that can be used in bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms and more.
3. Antlers

Not just for hunters, antlers are now being hung above mantels everywhere. A versatile accent that can be used anywhere in the home for hanging accessories, towels and more, we see this trend staying around for years to come. Create your own faux antlers, like our featured blogger, or purchase some at a home decor store.

Love gold but afraid of commitment? Dip it! This bold way to add color and shine lets you be trendy without having to change your decor too much. Complement bar stools, touch up desk chairs, or go big with larger items like desk furniture and kitchen tables.

Ombre hair was hot in 2012 for beauty, but we’re taking that light and dark combination off of our tresses and into our homes. From walls to furniture, ombre is making a huge hit in houses everywhere. With this great option for an accent wall, you can choose any color in your ombre mix for the other three sides of the room.

For homeowners who live in a cookie-cutter neighborhood, you’ll love distinguishing your home from others by painting your front door.

Just check with your homeowners’ association before purchasing your supplies.
