Welcome back to Nantucket Gate’s blog. This space is where we will share with our readers all of our best apartment living tips and tricks. Here in the blog, you can find things like recipes and DIY projects. In our last post we shared a few of our favorite spots for shopping locally here in Tacoma. Today we’ve got some ideas for designing your apartment. Just like clothing, home decor design trends are different every year. These are a great framework for designing your entire space.
Cork
Remember that cork board from your third grade classroom? This is exactly what we’re talking about! Head to a local office supply store and purchase a few squares of cork (you can even find it in rolls, too!) and hang them up on your wall. This is a great way to display photos, recipes, or your grocery list. Domain mentions, “Not only is cork a stylish material idea that adds warmth and texture to spaces, it’s also ideal for absorbing noise in our increasingly large, open plan homes.” Tip: Purchase a dollar store frame for your cork to add an instant touch of style.
Jewel Tones
Domain says, “While pastel shades of pink and blue are currently having their day in the sun, they will soon be overtaken by jewel tones inspired by metals, space, stars, clouds and the cosmos.” We are smitten by this beautiful velvet quilt from West Elm. What better way to incorporate luxe fabrics and deep jewel tones than in a blanket you can cozy up with?
Terracotta
Yes, this trend makes use of the colors and usefulness of those flowerpots or your childhood. Domain says, “Warm materials such as terracotta tiles will replace currently popular cool and white tones.” Incorporate terracotta tile as coasters for your living room coffee table to add a trendy touch. This rug perfectly emulates the warmth and orange tones of terracotta without being too bold, perfect for your home!
