Trend alert! Next year we are saying goodbye to the geometric designs and saying hello to flower power on our walls.
Graham & Brown, the wallpaper experts, announced this newest trend just in time to start the celebration of International Wallpaper Week October 2nd – 8th. It is a time to celebrate beautiful wallpaper and dressing up your walls like never before.
First, Maximalism. Say goodbye to the understated minimalistic all white wall, sparse furniture, clean decor trend. We are headed toward the complete opposite end of the spectrum this Fall. We are expecting a lot of bold color and dramatic paint moves. PS, matte black wall paint will be making an appearance on many a wall. As it should, as it is the color of the upcoming 2018, the year of dramatic designs.
We see a lot of layering in our Fall future. Layering of blankets such as Serapes (Mexican woven blankets) on top of coloured sofas and bedding is a great way to work with this design trend and keep warm in those Fall winds!
Large scale wallpaper in a living room can easily be accessorized with artwork. Another layer of dimension is added without becoming cluttered. All lines remain clean, but these layers add a warmer feeling to any space.
Texture is everything! Woven baskets, tapestries, blankets, pillows, rugs, artwork in different mediums. You name it, it works.
Best of luck warming up your spaces this fall with these design tricks, we cannot wait to see what you take from this. Share your new fall decor with us!

Have you caught the decorating bug? It’s always the same story. Once you start planning out a new project, you suddenly start to see elements in other rooms that you’d like to change too. Do you really have the time and ability to decorate more than one room at a time?

Whilst living in Barcelona, I saw mini cacti being sold all over La Rambla, and I quickly developed a love for our prickly friends. They make any space feel so airy and light. There are so many types and colors to play around with, as well as some neat display options. My personal favorites are minimalist wall art pieces, terrariums that either sit on display or even hang from the ceiling, and the unique ceramic pieces that house multiple baby cacti. Much like my two head vases I filled with my own mini cacti garden just the other day!
We’ve talked a lot about color this year! From our Feng Shui tips on our Instagram #AskAPJ posts, to our forecast about trendsetting colors for the upcoming seasons. As usual, we got yo’ back APJ readers! We’re going to make it easy for you, here’s a refresher course:
We’re often looking for a design solution to bring our home or business to the next level. We tend to shy away from the thought of using large scale murals for a variety of reasons, such as the fear of looking tacky, but there’s a classy way of doing it! Here are some installations that prove it can be a great option for all of us.
