But what goals are set for their homes? "The New Year brings a fresh perspec- tive and is the perfect time to experiment with decor," says Taniya Nayak, interior designer and DIY television personality. Here are six home decor trends Nayak predicts will be filling your Pinterest feed in 2016. NATURE'S PATTERNS For clean interior spaces with lots of detail, try simple designs inspired by nature, such as honeycombs, florals and leaves. "Pair these with neutral colors for a soothing atmosphere, or blow them up and paint them in a bright color for a bold statement," Nayak says. You can also integrate natural patterns through accent pieces, such as light fix- tures that have reflective metals to mimic sparkling water or a textured jute rug. PRESSWORK PALETTE Generate conversation and set the tone for your space by incorporating text into your decor — think monograms, family names or inspirational quotes. "Use various fonts and sizes to create different moods," Nayak says. "Letters can be sharp and defined to create a contem- porary and stylish aesthetic, or soft and casual for an elegant and timeless feel." DIGITALLY DEFINED "Geometric shapes and angles have become associated with technology; evok- ing creativity and innovative design," Nayak says. Incorporate this trend with geometric floor tiles in different colors. Or use pixi- lation for a modern, clean look. Pixelated artwork made up of monochromatic cubes can be simplistic and versatile. FRESH AND FAB Multiple bright colors mixed together elevate the mood in any space. Paint a bold accent wall for an eye-catching state- ment. Or brightly paint a piece of antique furniture for an unexpected combination of modern and traditional. "When it comes to painting an accent wall or furniture, one of the most important tools you need is a premium painter's tape, like FrogTape brand paint- er's tape," Nayak advises. Treated with PaintBlock Technology, FrogTape brand Multi-Surface and Delicate Surface tapes can be used on a variety of surfaces and help deliver sharp lines so your handiwork looks professional. TEXTURED TERRAIN From transformed wood pallets to worn leather or tin ceilings, aged raw materials offer texture and help give a space dimen- sion. "Incorporate it into an application where you wouldn't typically think to use the material," Nayak suggests. "For example, use concrete on a wall instead of the floor." Home decor items can easily be made to look aged by adding paint and other finishes for a distressed look. GLOBAL STYLE Create a warm, friendly space with a parade of patterns from different cultures. "Don't be afraid to mix multiple prints within a space," Nayak says. "Tie these patterns together by carrying a similar color throughout each element in the room. "When trying a new trend, make sure it accurately represents your style — and remember you don't have to go all out," adds Nayak. "Any concept can be incorpo- rated as little or as much as you'd like." * StatePoint Real Estate » Knack Studios Blog
