Hottest 2018 Home Trends, According to Pinterest

Pinterest recently released a report about the top 100 trends based on Pinning activity. And the home and interior design category is blowing up. There’s currently more than 14 billion home looks on Pinterest and the category continues to grow, with a 75% increase in Pins compared to last year.

Why hear what 2018’s trends will be from one company when you can get the lowdown from an entire cultural collective? Here are the hottest 2018 home trends, according to Pinterest.

Exotic resort living and spa-inspired bathrooms are big. According to Pinterest, the keyword “spa bathrooms” is up 269%. Looks like a zen, relaxing home environment that’s inspired by your favorite vacation will be one of the biggest 2018 home trends.

Pinners are obsessed with wall art, especially gallery walls and collages. On a search for most repinned Pins in the home category, at least several gallery wall Pins and large-format art pieces were in the top 15. Pinterest confirms my findings by reporting that the search term “big wall art” is up 637%.

Mixed metallics

We may not need Pinterest to tell us that farmhouse design will probably be the hottest design look for 2018. But keywords related to the look, such as the color “sage” (up 170%) and “herringbone wood patterns” (up 131%), confirm it.

Do you use Pinterest? What do you think are the hottest 2018 home trends?

Mind the gap: Fit IKEA MALM over a tall baseboard

I forgot one thing when I ordered the MALM dresser : The baseboards in my apartment are very tall and very wide. So, when I installed it, I had a 4 cm gap between the wall and the back of the cabinet which was not aesthetically possible for me. As it is not possible to cut the back of dresser at the bottom to leave room for the tall baseboard, I decided that MALM should be raised. And it was much simpler than I had imagined. You’ll need: A MALM dresser (mine is a 6-drawer chest) Six oak bed legs (I think five would have been enough, but while I was there …) 6 mounting plates A piece of plywood the size of the bottom of the cabinet (I went to the hardware store next door, it cost me less than 5€) Screws White adhesive edging tape How to raise the MALM dresser above a tall baseboard Place the MALM upside down. Fix the plywood onto the underside of the MALM with screws. Predrill holes for the leg screws (if you have the same baseboard problem as me, make sure you measur...

IKEA KALLAX Queen Storage Bed

I built this prior to knowing this website existed, this probably would have saved some contemplation. For difficulty reference, I am no carpenter (electrician actually) and I built it with my right hand in a cast. We bought an old house with original hardwood flooring from the 40s so we were very concerned about damaging it. The casters on a normal bed frame put a lot of pressure on a small surface and we didn’t want it dented or damaged if things started a rockin …. Plus, a 40′s house has virtually no storage as you only needed 3 pairs of pants back then. IKEA material : 3 x KALLAX shelf units (4) 4 x KALLAX drawer kits 8 x KALLAX fabric boxes Non-IKEA material : 4 x 2×4 A grade (saves time) 2 x 2×6 2 x sheets 1/2″ plywood (what ever grade you want) 25ft x iron-on edge trim 100 x 3″ #8 wood screws 20 x 1-1/4″ #8 wood screws satin white paint Tools (I used) : Tape measure Drill w/ 1/8″ bit for piloting holes Impact driver for screws Table saw Miter saw Ass...
