8 Home Trends for 2015

Each year we see new and exciting trends across all the industries.  New products are emerging and new design trends are popping up in businesses and homes everywhere. You would think with all the technology changes that home trends would be moving to more high-tech levels. However, we're actually starting to see a reaction against all these gadgets, generating a need for a simpler, cozier escape in the home. According to Details.com, here are several home trends you can expect to see more of in 2015. Try some of these out in your home at the Lake of the Ozarks!

1. Large, Comfy Sectionals


Although sectionals have been around for quite awhile now, they're coming back!  Since living rooms have evolved into a relaxing place for lounging around, we have less of a need for a formal living room setup. Rather than having a typical sofa, we want a more versatile, soft area that we can sprawl out on however we wish. With a large, padded sectional, you have a nice place to curl up with a blanket and a good book.  You now have the option of sitting or laying down, all in the same comfy spot!

2. Mixing Old with the New


A kitchen trend we are starting to see a lot of this year, is pairing contemporary chairs with older, rustic tables. While some may say this is because we can't choose between going contemporary or choosing an older style. However, Details.com thinks there's something else behind the popularity of this look. By pairing two things that don't really seem to go together, you're actually drawing emphasis to the best qualities of both.

3. Blue Color Scheme


Color plays a major part in not only the look, but also the feel of a room. In the chaotic world we live in today, our home should act as a retreat from it all, a place to relax.  Blue has traditionally been a calming and relaxing color, making it the perfect color to add to your home.  Whether you're looking to paint the walls a new color or just add some accent pillows and other accessories, blue is a great choice this year!

4. Vintage Tubs


You may have noticed the trend of using vintage style tubs to enhance a bathroom, but this trend is really expected to increase in 2015! Sometimes it's nice to retreat to something simple. Rather than having all the high-tech gadgets such as jets or infinity edges, an old-fashioned tub is the perfect place to soak up some peace and quiet. Another interesting trend we've come across is actually putting these vintage tubs in bedrooms as well. Some people find it luxurious to be able to roll out of bed into a nice, deep tub or vice versa.

5. Four-Poster Beds 


Although the four-poster style beds are nothing new, we're seeing more and more of this classic furniture in new home designs. People seem to love the romance that accompanies the pillared pieces. The cube-like style also suggests four walls, providing a more private sanctuary!

6. Black Window Frames 


Just like using eyeliner and mascara, drawing a black line around something brings attention to it. The same is true when it comes to housing trends. By adding black trim to a window, you're not only drawing the eye to the beautiful window, but also to the scenery outside!

7. In-Home Libraries


There's something people love about being surrounded by books! In-home libraries are making a come back in 2015, despite the technology transition to e-readers. Libraries preserve memories, memories of characters, words and stories that have touched us in one way or another. The books remind us of where we've been and also who we want to be.

8. Statement Lights 


Everyone has that one item that makes a statement of who they are or who they want to be.  Many people express this through sports cars or jewelry, and now fancy lighting is being used to make a statement. The most popular statement lighting we're seeing is the grid-like light fixture. The benefit of these lights is they're beautiful no matter which way the switch is flipped. When the lights are off, they look like a sculpture, but when they're switched on, they cast lovely light and shadow patterns around the room!
