Design Trends Forecast for 2018 – First Edition

The recent design exhibition in Melbourne unveiled the key trends set to shape interior aesthetics in 2018. This year’s forecast suggests a shift towards organic luxury, earthy elements, and a refined reinterpretation of metallic accents.

Key Interior Design Trends for 2018:

✨ The Rise of Brass & Silver Metals
For the past five years, copper dominated interior design. However, brass is making a strong comeback, replacing copper as the preferred metallic accent. Additionally, silver metals are regaining popularity, introducing sleek sophistication into modern interiors.

🎨 Muted Pink Tones Take Over
The bold pink hues that paired beautifully with gold, gray, coral, and nude are becoming more subtle. Instead of being dominant in furniture or walls, soft pinks will be incorporated in textiles and decorative accessories, offering a delicate, understated elegance.

🌿 Luxury Inspired by Nature
As modern life becomes increasingly digitalized, the need for organic materials and a return to nature has intensified. This trend—already present in 2017—is gaining even more momentum. Expect a surge in handcrafted pieces, raw materials, and designs that celebrate tradition, reflecting an earthy luxury that fosters tranquility and well-being.

🏺 The Wabi-Sabi Aesthetic
Rooted in ancient Japanese philosophy, Wabi-Sabi finds beauty in imperfection. This aesthetic embraces aged elements, visible layers of wear, natural textures, and weathered materials. Patina, oxidization, and imperfect finishes will add depth and character to modern interiors.

🌰 The Comeback of Dark Wood
While light woods have ruled interior design for years, dark wood tones are returning with rich, earthy hues. Expect to see Rosewood, Walnut, and Charred Wood techniques, bringing a bold and sophisticated contrast to contemporary spaces.

Refined Elegance Meets Organic Sophistication

The 2018 design trends mark a shift towards natural luxury, handcrafted artistry, and warm, grounded aesthetics.
