2018 Design Trends Products

2018 Design Trends are very exciting for Beaux-Arts Classic Products.  We offer products that trend predictors such as Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, Designers, Builders and Pinterest surveys list as the In’s and Do’s for 2018.  If anybody knows what’s popular in the collective consciousness of design lovers, surely it’s Pinterest.  “People use Pinterest to plan their lives, so rather than take a look back at this year, Pinterest takes a look forward at what Pinners are searching for and saving to do in the future, around the world,” the company said in their release.

Wall Art Is In

Bare walls are officially out.   Pinterest reports Pins for “wall art” were up 637% this year.

Beaux-Arts architectural wall panels are a beautiful solution for “bare walls”.  They are works of art in themselves.  They easily stand alone as wall art or they can be used in conjunction with wall coverings and decorative finishes.

 

Products for Wall Art.   There are several different panel options for the Louis XIV style.

There is no other wall panel kit like this in the marketplace.  They are designed to be easy to install.  They come pre-finished in 14 beautiful decorative finishes.  These wall panels offer unlimited variations.   The panels come in 4 styles.

They can be used in conjunction with wall paper which is another trend for 2018.

Wallpaper is In.

“Fashion, design – everything does cycles,” says Georgia, “And we see wallpaper making a comeback.”  In particular, botanicals are hot right now and will continue to be favored into 2018.  But don’t go OTT, “sometimes one wall is just as effective, if not more effective, than four walls,” says Georgia.  Using a feature wall is also a cost-effective way to feature this trend as it can be expensive.”

There you go, not only is wallpaper in but not doing all the walls is in.  Wall panels are a great way to use wallpaper, damask, whatever and isolate it to the decorative frames provided by the wall panels themselves.  Our wall panels are perfect frames for hand painted canvases or wallpaper and very expensive wallpaper such as this fabulous de Gournay botanical.  As the wallpaper is hand-painted by artists and takes such a long time to create, it is very pricey at over $1000 per panel.

The Fifth Wall – Statement Ceilings

According to Pinterest, “This is one we’re proud to say, we called back in April.  Saves for “statement ceilings” went up by 310 per cent this year.

While not for the faint-hearted, a statement ceiling can transform a room from the top down.  Ceilings will be seen. From creative moldings, interesting coffers, to fantastic paint and plaster treatments. The ceiling has become another surface equivalent to the complexity of a Persian Rug on the floor. No room will be completely finished without a ceiling treatment.

Beaux-Arts is the only source for hand painted ceiling ornamentation.  It is a very sophisticated and elegant way to embellish the ‘Fifth Wall’.  Instead of personalizing your ceiling with bold geometric wallpaper or color, adding ornamentation to the ceiling adds value to your home.

Another trend for 2018 is authenticity and personality.  No more cookie cutter interiors where you buy mass produced wall decor.  If you have spent any time in a room with a decorative ceiling it is amazing the impact it has.  The ceiling demands your attention.  Now the room has volume and a beauty which is undeniable.

Finish Trends for 2018

“Iron is the neutral of the metallic world. It is a modern industrial touch that adds a dark element to a palette that needs to be grounded or toned down. It won’t clash with other metal tones, and it also helps warmer metals, such as gold, gain a stronger pop of color.”

Beaux-Arts offers all of our products in an Iron-Black Finish.  The good news about our Iron Finish is that it is not Iron.  Iron, is very problematic for return grilles.  Over time it will rust.  Resin on the other hand will not rust, rot or corrode.

Our Arts and Crafts Style Decorative Grille is so handsome in a Black Finish.

2018 Trend – Artisan Fixtures

Juliet Gold, Interior Designer at 50 West and the Residences at Prince and founder of Juliet Gold Design, says she’s partial to light fixtures that are part of the artisan trend. “I’ve seen a shift towards local artisans and small businesses manufacturing high-end lighting fixtures, including those incorporating LEDs.”

Beaux-Arts has created a unique transformation for the industrial recessed light by adding a classical decorative trim with options for adding crystals.  These decorative recessed lighting options are available for LED’s.  Shown here the Victorian Decorative Recessed Light Trim with a triple strand of clear faceted crystals and 1-1/2″ Clear U-Drop Crystals for $215.

We offer artisan recessed light fixtures for all sizes of recessed lighting canisters.
