by Ali Arain

Our co-founder (and resident interior designer) picks the top trends for the year that you can start integrating into your home design right now. Inspired to try them out? You can shop his curation online or come visit us in-store in Williamsburg at 240 Kent Avenue.

 

Trend #1: Art Deco Embellishment

Inspired by the iconic geometry of the 20th century design movement, these pieces have strong lines that work with a surprising variety of interiors. A perennial BEAM team favorite, we’re thrilled to see so many designers embracing the look and materials associated with the period. If you’re not ready to take the plunge with furniture, accessories bring a touch of the look into any interior with ease.

Trend #2: Tremendous Terrazzo

Consider terrazzo, with its signature chunky speckled surface, the “it” material for the year. Thanks to the ‘80s-era Memphis Revival of the past few years, this material has stepped up in relevance in interior design. If you aren’t up for a full floor of it, add it in with cheeky accessories.

Trend #3: Velvet Everything

Velvet exudes luxurious, sensual appeal with its soft tactile surface. We’ve already seen it make a huge resurgence in fashion this winter, with velvet tuxedos turning up on well-dressed men and romantic gowns sweeping onto the red carpet. Go bold with a sofa in rich jewel tones or just add a pop with a richly textured pillow. This is an easy one to incorporate into practically any décor style, as well.
