Which Interior Trend Will Be Popular in 2018?
Trends come and go every year (or even every month), which certainly makes it hard to predict what will be fashionable. If you’re intending to update your home’s look in 2018, read on to find out what we feel will be hot!
On The Rise
1. Japanese Simplicity: Wabi-Sabi
Homeowners will tend to opt for simpler, natural looks over fancy spaces filled with architectural details and lavish furnishings next year. The Japanese aesthetic philosophy Wabi-Sabi, which is the idea that there is beauty to be found in natural imperfection, embraces humble organic materials and irregularity.

Neither patching up subtle cracks (provided that they aren’t dangerous) nor fixing the asymmetry of a room’s layout, these elements give the home an authentic charm of natural rusticity.
2. Mixed Geometrical Shapes

Geometrical patterns have proven to be an effective and flexible décor feature to create visual interest at home. Big, bold and vibrant patterns of contrasting colours serve as strong visual cues that highlight the distinction between different spaces and material palettes.

Conversely, neutral-coloured patterns can make a tranquil space appear more interesting while remaining classy.
3. Metallic Accents & Accessories
Interior Designer: akiHAUS
Colour authority Pantone has highlighted metallic accents to be an upcoming interior trend in 2018. So start incorporating brass, copper or gold into your home.

Make small but thoughtful additions in the form of metallic handles, light fixtures or ornaments, and give duller spaces in your home a chance to shine.
Staying In Vogue
1. Nature-Inspired Décor
Interior Designer: Bowerman
Due to its evergreen charm, nature-related décor elements won’t be disappearing into the woods anytime soon.
However, potted plants and/or terrariums require time and attention. One fuss-free alternative will be botanical prints, either in the form of soft furnishings or these nature-inspired wallpapers from Hello Circus.

The embodiment of simplicity and practicality, the popularity of minimalist-chic whitewashed spaces and natural surfaces continues to grow in Singapore.

3. Raw Textures

The use of raw textures is unlikely to go out of style in 2018. Exposed layers are great for creating an edgy contrast when paired off against luxe surfaces, creating a chic home that strikes the right balance between cool refinement and cosy comfort.
