Ready or not, 2018 is here! Designers and brands expect home decor to be bolder than years before, with vivid jewel tones and luxe velvet or mixed metallics balanced out with organic accents. As always, stick with what you love, regardless of what's in or out. But if your New Year's resolution is to refresh your home (whether with a new coat of paint or a pretty piece of furniture), here are the top trends to try by Reeshab Agarwal, Managing Director, Stellar Furnishings

Mixed metallics: Silver and gold no longer need to be separated like sparring siblings. Not only can these metallics be mixed but also they can be joined by their pal, rose gold, which brings a softer, warmer hue to any room.
Patterned flooring:Patterned flooring adds interest to a room and can pull it all together. Expect to see geometric shapes as well as exotic Moroccan-inspired designs that will make guests stop in their tracks and take notice
Patterned fabrics: Solids when it comes to home furnishings as well. Don't be afraid to juxtapose patterns, both geometric and florals, alongside neutrals for a one-of-a-kind look that shows off your personality.
Velvet furnishings: Is there anything as luxurious as velvet? 2018 is the year to cozy up to this ultra-soft upholstery. Don't be afraid to select an eye-catching color that makes the room as interesting as it is inviting.
Color of the year: Ultra violet. If you've always had a love for lavender, this is your year! The Pantone Color of the Year is ultra violet. The blue-based purple evokes both a modern and vintage feel at the same time. The best part is it's extremely versatile. From the powder room to the bedroom, this soft hue can be dressed up with modern art and accent fixtures, or simply provide a stunning backdrop in an understated space.
