You *love* to be ahead of the curve when it comes to trends, so here's what to expect for decor in 2019. With the help of Anna Brockway, co-founder and president of online home retailer Chairish, we're giving you the scoop on what to use to make your space the most fashionable one on the block this season. Click through to see the must-know styles with everything from animal print accessories to tasseled accents and pop art to structured pendants.
Sculptural Art: “We’re loving geometric, punchy, 3-D wall sculptures as a fresh way to make a bold statement," says Brockway. The best part? One item is all you need to accomplish this look.

Fringe: Dreamy and colorful textures? Sign us up! “Fringe and trim bring feminine-chic and ‘decorator polish’ to statement pieces," says Brockway. Look for it used on ottomans and accents chairs in the new year ahead.

A Maximalist Tabletop: The "more is more" maximalist trend is going to be big next season, with a special emphasis on table decor. "When it comes to tabletop, it’s time to go nuts! Bring on the prints, a mélange of textures, playful flora and fauna, and over-the-top accents. Chairish shoppers know a maximalist table is always in style!” says Brockway.

Mid-century Lighting: Let there be light (well, vintage-style pendant ones, at least). This retro-inspired structure adds both depth and precision to a space. Pro tip: Opt for picks in a brass or gold finish for a sleeker look.

Scenic Screens: Sure, these may feel a little old-school to you, but designers everywhere can't wait to bring them to your living room. “We’re loving scenic screens and framed panels that act as a sophisticated complement to contemporary, modernist, and traditional pieces." says Brockway.

Sweet, Sweet Paprika: According to Brockway, this rich hue is going to be *everywhere*. She thinks it'll best lend itself to accent chairs, pillows, rugs, or places where a pop of color is needed.

Turkish Ottomans & Benches: This boho trend is sicking around in 2019. To keep it feeling fresh, swap your worn floor pillows with a Turkish bench or ottoman. You'll be in for one unique upgrade that still fits in with your space.
