2016 is the year of both minimalism and individuality. The year to simplify your design with only the pieces of artwork and furniture that truly speak to you. It's the year to finally declutter your space and remove any decor that no longer serves a purpose in your room or that no longer fits your personality.
Patterns Make A Comeback
Patterns are coming back strong and in full force, so mix and match your patterns and do it without holding back! Choose patterns that speak to your personality and reflect the story of your room. Do you want an upbeat living room? If yes, then choose funky and bright patterns. If you prefer to take a more modern approach, try patterns that are bold yet neutral.
Express Your Individuality
When it comes to individuality, think custom pillows, a patterned accent rug for your living room, or a limited edition lamp that won't be found in your neighbor's living room.

Since individuality is more powerful than cookie-cutter designs, it's important that you allow your room's design to truly shine through with a minimialistic approach. Take out pieces that no longer fit your design or life, and give your one-of-a-kind art or patterned pillows the room to do all of the talking.
