ALYSSA ROSENHECK'S TOP TRENDS OF 2018<br />
GREENERY<br />
Plants made a huge<br />
statement in <strong>2017</strong> and I<br />
foresee this trend sticking<br />
around in 2018. Adding<br />
greenery is an affordable<br />
way to add a fresh touch<br />
and major impact to<br />
your space. Get creative<br />
with planters and play<br />
with the scale of plants<br />
in relationship to your<br />
space—don't be afraid to<br />
suspend them from the<br />
ceiling!<br />
ALYSSA ROSENHECK'S TOP TRENDS<br />
PATTERN PLAY<br />
floor. One of my favorite<br />
moments as the founder<br />
of #TheNewSouthern is<br />
seeing a good traditional<br />
Southern design moment<br />
reimagined in a new way.<br />
Across the country, I've<br />
started to see black walls<br />
as the new neutral, while<br />
floors are painted white<br />
to really open up a<br />
space. Whichever moment<br />
you prefer, it becomes<br />
another inexpensive design<br />
choice that highlights the<br />
furniture, art, and the life<br />
you live within a space.<br />
We're drifting away from<br />
florals, animal prints and<br />
ikats and coming back to<br />
funky, geometric shapes,<br />
from floors to wallpaper to<br />
accent pillows and beyond.<br />
I'm beginning to see<br />
more intricate patterns<br />
re-emerge in a bold way,<br />
which is such an easy way<br />
to add personality to a<br />
room.<br />
COLOR STORIES<br />
Black is the new white wall<br />
and white is the new black<br />
FRESH TALENT<br />
One of the benefits of<br />
having my finger on<br />
the pulse of design is<br />
that I'm constantly<br />
introduced to the creatives<br />
who are pushing the<br />
trends forward. I've seen<br />
a strong shift towards<br />
art and the makers who<br />
create it, and I think<br />
it's our responsibility and<br />
privilege to support them<br />
and their labors, which<br />
breathes new life into my<br />
work and into our homes.
