Are you in a decorating rut? Does your home feel like it needs a makeover? Are you still using your mom’s hand-me-downs or your mismatched furniture from college? Well look no further. Here are the three biggest interior decorating trends right now.

1. Velvet and Art Deco

This trend puts a more current spin on the traditional art deco style. It’s a mix of jewel -toned velvet items mixed with brass elements. Think swanky cocktail lounge. Check out these examples from Target, World Market and Anthropologie.

2. Desert Chic

This trend pairs a white backdrop with textures and materials reminiscent of a muted desert sunset. Think cozy Navajo printed rugs mixed with macramé and succulents. Mix this with wood and leather elements, as well. Check out these examples from Anthropologie, Pottery Barn, and Target.

3. Modern Rustic

This trend is a mixture of raw edge wood elements and natural materials with a modern twist. Think whites and grays mixed with earth elements like wood and stone. Check out these examples from World Market, Pottery Barn, and Magnolia Market.
