That is like saying oxygen or water is out&#8230; its just not possible. \u00a0The really great part of this trend is Navy Blue works well with almost any gray, so it will be easy to combine this trend with last year&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bold Florals<\/strong>: \u00a0This is a welcome change to last year&#8217;s solid color blocking, but its a fine line between\u00a0having <em>just <\/em>the\u00a0right amount and overdoing the florals, thus\u00a0making a space resemble a middle\u00a0schooler&#8217;s bedroom. \u00a0Same as with color blocking, look at bold florals as something you can always add more of\u00a0but not always take out of a space.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bronze:\u00a0<\/strong>Well, its about time! \u00a0I have always loved how bronze pairs with the clean lines of a modern home and furniture (and the fact its predicted to bring about the end of rose gold is just icing on my\u00a0cake). \u00a0Whether it be a cool lighting fixture or smaller accents, I can see the bronze trend staying around for a few years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Olive Trees<\/strong>: <em>Supposedly<\/em> the olive tree is going to be replacing the insatiably popular Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree, but I&#8217;m guessing anyone claiming\u00a0this is probably stuck on the waiting list to get a Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree. \u00a0Considering there even <em>is<\/em> a waiting list, I&#8217;m not going to be tossing\u00a0out my Fiddle Leaf for an Olive Tree anytime soon, especially when there&#8217;s plenty of space for both.<\/p>\n<p>As with any interior design trend you come across this year (or ever), its important to remember they have a shelf life, unlike the classics which will always be on point. \u00a0If you are ever seeking out some modern classic inspiration, visit our Modern Classics Furniture Showroom in <a href=\"\/mc-showroom-bellingham.html\" data-blogger-escaped-target=\"_blank\">Bellingham<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As much as I love pouring over the lists of upcoming interior design trends at the start of \u00a0every new year, my eagerness in seeking to know more about 2017&#8217;s interior design trends has been in more of a &#8216;no,\u00a0say it isn&#8217;t so&#8217; kind of way (I will never get on board with butterflies as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[91,13,59,61,57,34],"tags":[64,63,73,74,86,75,78,56],"class_list":["post-4726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interior-design-trends","category-hans-wegner","category-indoor-succulent-plants","category-modern-decor","category-modern-furniture","category-scandinavian-modern","tag-fiddle-leaf-fig","tag-indoor-plants","tag-minimalism","tag-modern","tag-modern-furniture","tag-modern-home","tag-modern-living-room","tag-scandinavian-modern"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.modernclassics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.modernclassics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.modernclassics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.modernclassics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.modernclassics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4726"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.modernclassics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4726\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5260,"href":"https:\/\/www.modernclassics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4726\/revisions\/5260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.modernclassics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.modernclassics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.modernclassics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
