We're more than halfway through 2016, which means one thing: It's already time to discuss which home decor trends will define next year.
On the color front, sophisticated hues are poised to take center stage, according to Behr who, just released their predictions for colors to keep an eye on in 2017. The paint company has divided its selection into three palettes — confident, composed and comfortable — and if they are any indication, we'll be drawing decor inspiration from our personalities in the year ahead.

Architectural Digest
White paint makes a house instantly polished and sophisticated, cheery pastels highlight a home's most interesting architecture details, and gray, well, it can do both. A charcoal exterior is timeless but bold, making dramatic rooflines and window frames pop. The moody color commands a space, but it does so quietly. Perhaps that's why a gray house blends so beautifully with its surroundings, whether set on a lush manicured lawn or nestled in the woods. Plus, paint isn't your only option to get this look — gray stone or shingles can have the same impact.

Many people have a book that's changed their life. This kind of emotional response can cause people to feel strongly about books, protective even. That’s why decorating with books elicits equally strong opinions.

Albert Einstein once said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when creating them.” Granted, he was talking about heavier stuff than interior design, but the sentiment applies regardless. In order to establish a home that is at once personal and functional yet entirely original in this seen-in-all era, you’ve got to think outside of the box and recast the known decor world in new and innovative ways. How to do that? Think like a stylist and use tried-and-true furnishings in unexpected places—reclaim a ladder as a towel rack in a guest bath, for example, or install a trunk as a cocktail table in your living room—to impart a one-of-a-kind sense of ingenuity that feels effortlessly fresh.

A shared sibling bedroom is often a necessity. One of the most challenging goals in designing a kids’ bedroom is finding enough space in one room for twice as many belongings — and for larger families, sometimes three times as many items. Where to put all the clothing, shoes, toys and school gear?
