Where do you find stylish decorative inspiration to make your home feel all the more fabulous and well-appointed? If you’re looking for new interior design ideas or are in need of fresh inspiration to update any room in your home, online photo sharing platform Pinterest is endlessly fun to scroll. In fact, the company just released the top home décor searches of the year, and according to the interior designers at firm Décor Aid, these are the best home trends worth trying.

MAXIMAL DÉCOR

By now everyone has had enough with Mid-Century Modern and minimal décor, making way for the triumphant return of heady maximalism. In fact, consider it the complete opposite of both as the design style allows you to be freer with your choices and execution. Think bolder, more expressive design, richer colors, indulgent prints, and happy juxtapositions.

And since maximalism allows you more freedom when considering decorative routes, it will make the interior design process all the easier. However, do keep in mind that too many varied elements can be overly stimulating and that a tight edit and visual balance are always key, no matter what a style calls for.

CONTEMPORARY FIREPLACES

Who doesn’t love sitting by a roaring fireplace? Pinterest users certainly do as the platform reported a whopping increase of 763% in searches, making modern fireplaces second on the list. Best of all, a contemporary ribbon fireplace will always feel timeless while adding to the resale value of your property. And new fireplaces are also much easier to maintain.

PAINTED GEOMETRIC PANELS

When it comes to elevating a home without having to spend a small fortune, paint is always a go-to for any interior designer as it can instantly transform any room. And while it can be laborious to commit to, taping off segments and painting them in contrasting colors for a graphic play on geometrical shapes will only help to modernize your home. And if you’ve got a room that you’d like to elevate to make it feel much bigger than it is, then painting your ceiling will definitely do the trick. Just be sure that you stick to no more than three colors to ensure that it doesn’t come off as visually noisy or heavy-handed.

MUSTARD YELLOW

Though it was the color of the year just a few years ago, Pinterest users continue to search for mustard yellow décor ideas to energize their homes. Use it for a refreshing accent wall or as needed color in small doses like accessories, pillows, and decorative throws.

VIBRANT WALLPAPER

Wallpaper of the past may have been naive and delightfully sweet, but today’s bolder options feel so much more refreshing. Think expressive wallpaper that’ll have all of your guests talking about it long after they’ve left.

TEXTILE ART

Though macrame wall art has been heavily trending over the past few years, it definitely seems tired and all too common. Instead, go for a stylish statement-making pop-art-inspired textile wall piece to make a unique mark in your home. .

HIGH-SHINE TIN ELEMENTS

They may not have been on-trend for decades, but there’s no denying the classic appeal of tin paneled walls that boast ornate detailing. Even better if you can bring in high-shine reflective metallic ones to really make a room in your home sing while adding needed texture to keep the eye moving.

VERTICAL GARDEN WALLS

With everyone looking to bring in sustainable and eco-minded design into their homes, a living plant wall makes for a visually interesting way of adding greenery in your home. Plus, you can easily find a pre-made kit to help you construct your own.

CACTUS GROUPINGS

Since a cactus is inexpensive and easy to care for in the hands of even the worst greenthumb imaginable, Pinterest users searched for cactus arrangements 235% more than the year before, and we can see why.

NATURAL SWIMMING POOLS

Private swimming pools will always be a desirable trend, but even better are these innovative takes that are designed to not use chlorine while working around natural landscaping cues. Which makes them a sound investment to consider especially ifyou’re looking to evoke an idyllic setting that’ll look gorgeous for years to come.

PAINTED TIRED FLOORS

When it comes to DIY home trends, the results can, of course, be quite varied. And they can be too crafty and timely, but when considering hand-painted flooring, of all the top Pinterest home trends, painted floors saw a whopping search increase of 1276% as of late. And it actually makes sense, especially if you want to properly cover linoleum and beaten wooden floors without having to spend a small fortune or bring in professional renovation services since you can do it yourself with spectacular results. The key to transforming unsightly flooring is to use proper floor paint and tape off segments for a striking graphic contrast .
