2018's five hottest décor trends that you need to get on board with

In your bold quest to get your dynamic visual game on, here are the diverse design influences that will make your house on trend this year. 

Elevated neutral tones

This year, unrestrained but balanced tones that will give a sink-in organic warmth is what the decor scene is all about.

Inspired by nature, this trend combines luxurious materials to give you a solid foundation to decorate with pieces according to your style.

Room dividers

According to the Decorex SA team, 2018 also welcomes the division that will ensure both comfort and privacy simulatenously. 

If you're brimming with ideas, know that the contemporary way to divide and style a large space is through wood or metal, and a stylish shelf that can accomodate various items can do just that.

Metal furniture

Expanding from the above trend, Decorex SA also includes metal furniture as part of the hottest ways to inject life into and amplify your chic interior this year. 

Think mirrors, chairs, tables, bookshelves, and the most interesting - metal bookshelves.
