"When the New Year approaches, we often hear the phrase, "New Year, New Me." But, why can't this be true for your home as well?" says Nayak. "Create an oasis by adding tropical elements to a room, paint a lavender accent wall to cozy up a space, or upcycle old furniture with a fresh coat of fun-colored paint. No matter how big or small the renovation, these new trends are meant to inspire your creative side."

According to Nayak, there are several ways – big and small – that consumers can transform their homes and stay on top of the latest design trends. Here are a few that will be at the forefront in the New Year, along with tips on how to integrate them into upcoming décor projects:

1. Oasis
Make your home a tropical escape all year long. Add floral or banana leaf accents to form a staycation-worthy "at-home paradise" no matter the temperature. Nayak suggests pairing pops of metallic gold with plush greens and crisp white to build a look that is sophisticated, yet fun and exotic.

2. Simple to The Max
In 2018, Nayak encourages DIYers to "go big or go home…in the simplest way imaginable." Layer multiple patterns on top of one another on smaller décor items, like pillows, for a look that combines clean and chaos.

If layering patterns is too much, another facet of this trend focuses on bold statements with monochromatic colors. A simple way to accomplish this is to start with a bright white wall. Paint your baseboards, trim, or window mullions a dramatic contrasting color, like black, for an effortless, yet powerful effect. And when it comes to achieving clean, sharp paint lines, one of Nayak's vital, go-to tools is a premium painter's tape, like FrogTape^® painter's tape. Treated with patented PaintBlock^® Technology, FrogTape^® Multi-Surface and Delicate Surface tapes are a fool proof way to get professional-looking results and eliminate the need for touch-ups.

3. Faux Natural
Nayak's inspiration behind this trend is the subtle patterns created by nature's textures – think wood grain, geodes or ocean waves. One way to do this is using earthy tones like browns, beiges and deep blues combined with vibrant neon colors to generate the effect of the northern lights around the home. Faux bois, or faux wood grain, is a paint treatment that can help you weave this trend into a room. Take a table and apply a neon paint color with a faux wood rubber tool (found at most craft stores). Tape off a cool design with painter's tape to bring the project to the next level. "The neon paint enhances the natural beauty of a simple wood grain," says Nayak. "It's all about the magic of introducing an unnatural looking element into a very neutral and natural setting."

4. Back to the Future
"What's old is now new, and better than ever before," says Nayak. She suggests painting a vintage chair with a pop of color, like the Sherwin-Williams 2018 color of the year, Oceanside. This creates an eye-catching masterpiece that seamlessly integrates into both retro and modern home décor. Introducing vibrant colors to antiques produces a beautiful new spin on a classic look.

5. Made with Love
What's "in" in home design this year? Creating warm and cozy spaces that are customized just for you! This is the true essence of DIY. Painting an accent wall in a pastel color, like lavender, will set a relaxed and comforting tone to the room. From there, "add a soft woven blanket, a macramé wall hanging or ivory plates on a wall to transform just any room to "your" room," says Nayak. Small or hand-crafted personal touches like these make this a livable and lovable trend that embraces the imperfectly perfect.

6. New England Preppy
As a true New Englander, Nayak exudes the classic and sophisticated qualities that make up this trend. "This style embraces the timeless combination of crisp white linens and navy blues, but what really gives a room an authentic New England vibe is the addition of a camel-colored leather décor accent," she says. Easy ways to incorporate this trend into your home include adding monogrammed pillows to a leather accent chair, or whitewashing your brick fireplace – all to create a look that will never go out of style.
