3-D Gallery Walls “It seems that the classic collage of artwork has expanded to include sculpture, mixed media, and even easels. Gone are the days of your class-picture collages.” —Michel Smith Boyd, interior designer
Vibrant Wallcoverings “Wallcovering has made a huge comeback with texture, color, and pattern. Popular patterns are florals with a large-scale contemporary twist, and botanicals with a tropical, junglelike feel. Digital printing is also being combined with hand-dyeing techniques.” —Robin Wilson, interior designer

Mixing Global Design Elements “I’ve been seeing a lot of mixing of global design elements—Indian, African, and sourced-from-afar textiles or sculptures being used in different ways in design. I like to combine Indian or African textiles with more classic furniture, like a mid-century-modern chair or ottoman." —Bradley Bayou, interior designer

Black “One of the biggest trends in 2016 was the use of the color black or basalt as a new neutral. In 2016, the color black replaced ho-hum white for kitchen cabinets, countertops, dinnerware, and accessories. Mixed with neutral blush tones and materials like copper and rose-gold, the use of black created an entirely new direction for design enthusiasts to play around with in their homes.” —Sheila Bridges, interior designer
Un-Decorating “The biggest trend I saw for 2016, which I think will continue for years to come, was this idea of spaces feeling ‘un-decorated.’ Clients still want a well-edited space filled with amazing pieces from different eras, but are moving away from things that feel traditionally decorated. Well-edited minimalism took over for maximalism. Instead of a sea of antiques, we saw one or two in a modern room or a few modern pieces in a traditional room.” —Ryan Korban, interior designer
