5. Light flooring
Open concept rooms emphasize this year’s airy ethos. Lighter floors reflect and lessen contrast with bold walls or striking geometric accessories, making the room appear more expansive. Look for pale oak, birch and off-white shades when selecting a floor. If you’d like a pop of color, one big area rug will do to tie the room together.
6. Plants
Time to sell off your succulents. 2018’s hot houseplants are out of favor now. Instead, think big, lush, swooping tree-like tropicals. If you can’t live without a touch of boho chic, try topping a shelf with a large-leaved plant in a floral motif pot.
