Homes to Love is always on the hunt for fresh decorating ideas and the latest interior design trends, especially at the start of a new year. So when Pinterest released a recent report on the top trends to try in 2018, we were all ears.

Just like fashion, a new year or a change in seasons usually sparks a desire to renew our style, clear the clutter, and start fresh. As our needs, wants, and tastes are constantly evolving, the notion that design is never done is what keeps people coming back for inspiration.

People are thinking big and small, from full renovations to stylish accents.
