Organic Textures

With modern elements now gracing the pages and aisle of many home décor stores, there’s a need to take the simplicity and add something natural to it. Things like cork, re-claimed wood, soft textures and organic prints are all ways to make a modern home feel cozy. Plants, greenery, Aztec patterns and textured throw pillows can help the buyers get back to nature and feel the warmth of the home.

Glamour

Interior designers are dressing up modern rooms with excessive luxury items, such as faux fur, metallic items, crystal chandeliers or glass. All are a great way to glam up a room.

Copper Accents

Gold and brushed nickel is trending out and copper is coming in. Copper’s shiny finish is creating an additional layer of interest in many rooms. It’s modern yet, earthy feel is a good balance for anyone looking to modernize a room and make it feel fresh. You can update light fixtures, lamps or just add some accessories like candleholders to get in on this trend.

Taupe

Taupe was the 2017 color of the year and has a permanent place on our home staging tips list because it’s so versatile and clean. It can be the back splash for flowers, patterns, throws, and pictures because it makes things feel orderly, pops and feels clean.
