As the weather changes and we find ourselves entering fall, design projects, renovations and redecorations gear up for this stylish season. From curved sofas to black accents in the kitchen to a rising global nomadic style, we take a look at the biggest trends in the interior design world for fall 2018.
Geometric Patterns
"The geometric pattern is always trendy as you can use it in either a modern or a classic way. It's classic because it originates from ancient roman marble floors, so it’s perfect for any home surrounded by antiques and velvet curtains. It can be also very 20th century — because it reminds us the Art Deco 1920s skyscraper interiors, full of geometric marbles and brass sufaces. But it’s also modern if you leave it alone, as unique decoration, without any atrezzo around, maybe just with painted white walls and clean white stone floors —that's it. It's young, it's fresh, it's sophisticated, but always depending on the soul you want to add to your space." — Lorenzo Castillo
Global Nomad
"Layered spaces, complete with a heavy dose of textiles and vintage or one-of-a-kind pieces are our calling card. And frankly, there’s no better way to achieve a Global Nomad-inspired sensibility in your own spaces! Start by looking around at what you already have, then hit local antique shops and estate sales to add interesting art and accessories to make your space sing." —CLOTH & KIND
Bringing Black Into The Kitchen
"Black is classic and sophisticated, and allows for high-contrast, sculptural moments." — Michelle Dirkse, Michelle Dirkse Interior Design

Organic Earth Tones
"In the absence of color, it is always important to add plentiful texture and movement, even if you use various neutral tones throughout the space. This client, in particular, has a large living and dining space that we filled with layer upon layer of organic and patterned elements. From the pillows on the sofa, to the wall decor, to the details of the accent furniture, we are touching on ingredients that have always been our signature: natural textures, fluid shapes, and calm, clean colors." —Lisa Sherry Interieurs

Natural Tan & Camel Palette
"This client loves the outdoors and really wanted a comfortable living space that felt equally organic and refined. The walls are horse hair woven in shades of camel, olive green and tan surrounding a vintage inspired chair in a golden tan silk velvet and olive leather welt. The palette is completely derived from nature, bringing the outside in giving a presence to eclectic objects and artwork in the space." — Ashli Mizell
Bold, Graphic Rugs
"We added some visual texture to the original charm of this 1880 Catskills farmhouse with a black and cream rug. The classic pattern, a bold counterpoint to the natural rustic wood, adds a modern, graphic element while creating separate areas behind the dining, entrance and living spaces." — Stefania Skrabak, Art Home Garden

Mixed Materials & Maximalism
"Our take on a sophisticated TV hangout area for the younger members of the family. We wanted to reference the rich aesthetics of a London private club, with a strong dose of still prevalent fashion for all things midcentury. Visual interest comes from an extensive layering of patterns, accent colors and cultural references, in a mix of art and accessories, that feed into the current trend of maximalism." —Hubert Zandberg Interiors
