5. Black and White

Splashes of black and white on a patterned accent wall are a great way to incorporate this trend instead of simply adding black or white furniture. Cabinetry is another great opportunity to incorporate black and white without overpowering the room, as darker colors tend to make your space feel smaller.

4. Cobalt Blue and Navy

Fabrics and draperies are a perfect use for these serene colors. Use them together or just choose one; either way, your room will have an update that is on-trend. Refresh your space with a new throw rug or drapes.

3. Tan/Cream

Taking over as the most coveted neutral this year, tan/ cream is a great earth tone that can easily be accessorized in any room. Tan/cream serves as the perfect palette to build from and complements many color schemes.

2. Lipstick Red and Pink

Both colors provide a bold statement well-suited to decorative furniture. Consider an armchair or chaise lounge in these bright hues to show off your playful, trendy side.

1. Gold

Gold is one of the most versatile accent colors of the year. Especially this season, ornate and luxurious details are the perfect way to dress up a typically bland or boring room. Try incorporating gold accents into rooms like the library or the living room with smaller pieces, sculptures or lighting fixtures.

Many love a traditional polished wood floor, but what about those lovers of old-world charm? For those who really get a kick out of country-chic accents and natural shapes, reclaimed wood floors are growing in popularity and can make or break the look of your interior.

Over 22,000 Swarovski crystals cover the surface of this incredible Saracen bath by Catchpole & Rye. What glamorous gal wouldn’t want to glitter, even in her bathtub? Socialite Tamara Ecclestone revealed she spent £1m on a blinged-out crystal bathtub in 2012, so, continuing on this trend (on perhaps a more realistic design budget), Harrods will sell Catchpole & Rye’s equally glamorous tub for £150,000 (over $195,000 US).

The Swarovski crystals on the claw-footed bath can be customized in gold, blue, or green, and the tub is created from cast metal featuring an enamel interior. Crafted by hand, it took over 200 hours of manpower to create this dazzling statement piece.

Managing Director Tony O’Donnell speaks of the idea to Daily Mail: “It was to do something exotic. We did a job for a princess in the middle east and she was very much into her bling, and that's where the idea stems from. There is a huge amount of work that goes into it, hundreds of hours, it's all English craftsmanship.”

Looking for a clean, modern look with a kitchen focal point? This design is perfect for those who love to bring the party to the dinner table. Take a look at a space crafted by Airhouse Design Office, a Japanese firm located in Yoro.

Airhouse Design Office works with a sense of minimalism and clean lines that leave rooms feeling spacious and modern. While Airhouse used a converted warehouse for this design, we can easily see this aesthetic translating to urban apartments. Using light colors and eliminating clutter can really bring a room to life. The space featured here cloaks bedrooms in a clean white box design and offers a loft above.
