Everybody has a wish list to decorate their home.

Before going for decorating your home, you may want to know what are the contemporary decor trends so that you can decorate the house in a trendy way.

Here are the top five recent decor trends for decorating home that have gained popularity. These decor ideas span different areas – furniture, lighting, landscaping, etc.

Classic furniture

Classic is always contemporary; it never goes out of style. You can add a classic, royal look to your home by bringing in some classic furniture. You can fit in an old chair or a neglected heirloom at your home and mix it with modern accessories to give it a unique look. Classic furniture adds charm to your living room or study room. Whether it is a vintage wall clock or an old rug or a painting; you just need to brush away the bruises of time on them and they would definitely adorn your home.

Paint your walls

Painting walls is always a favourite remodel and decoration idea. While painting the walls of your living room or dining room, find out which colour is in trend currently. Although different colours may come in to limelight at different points of time, choosing a colour always remains a matter of your likings and choice.

As per recent reports, reddish-orange colour is the new favourite for decorating home. The tangerine hue emits energy and lends a cheerful countenance to your home, making home owners increasingly go for a vibrant colour.

Lighting

Lighting has gradually become innovative and people are thinking ‘out of the box’ to come up with new lighting ideas for their living room, kitchen or even attic. Bare bulbs are becoming the new high fashion which gives the look of a rustic simplicity. Clustered pendant lights and grazed ceramic lamps are also in high demand.

Ceiling

Ceiling is no longer ignored when it comes to decorating house. In fact, ceiling has become the fifth wall of a home now and painting the ceiling with vibrant, bright colour is the norm of the day. While the walls of a room is painted with light colours, ceiling is painted with a contrasting bold colour. It gives a special satisfaction to the eyes due to contrast appeal.

Vertical garden

Vertical garden is being adored by architects and designers all over the world. While modern urban setting allows less land and space to do gardening, installing plants on the sides of building exteriors as well as interior walls has become a trend being adopted universally. On one hand, vertical garden is aesthetically appealing to eyes and on the other hand, it purifies the air in and around it. Hence, the concept of ‘living walls’ is fast becoming omnipresent; whether in houses, villas or in office or restaurants.
