Wood floors are still very popular, she explains.
Irregular Planking
Another trend that Dawson tells me has been popular with designers is irregular planks.
It’s a less structured look that feels classic and modern at the same time.
Irregular planking is a fantastic way to add warmth and interest to an otherwise minimalist room.
It also complements exposed brick walls for a truly authentic feeling.
Colorful Area Rugs
Dont forget the rugs.
Dawson couldn’t be more enthusiastic about adding a colorful rug to just about any space.
I’m seeing lots of excitement around bold and colorful area rugs!
More and more people want to bring in color this way.
If youre using a colorful area rug in a living room she recommends pairing it with a neutral sofa.
Just tie it together with a few colorful throw pillows and it works beautifully.
Large Natural Stone Tiles
Bid farewell to tiny tiles like penny tiles.
Dawson reveals that large natural stone tiles are having a moment this season.
These are oversized pieces that bring in a feeling of nature and earthiness that really ground a space.
It looks gorgeous in kitchens and entryways.
We expect to see consumers playing off of thistrend in the coming season.
