Etsy Fall Home Decor Trends of 2018

What’s old is new again. That’s according to the home and living experts at Etsy who just released their take on fall 2018′s biggest decor trends.  Topping this year’s list is a renewed interest in sustainable, eco-friendly decor, but with dash of refinement. Etsy calls it “upscale upcycled home decor,” but we call it gorgeous. Similarly, Etsy is predicting the return of ’70s home decor, building off of bohemian home trends like macrame, wicker and rattan this fall. The trends are gathered by looking at historical data on the site, specifically search trends and changes over time in the home and living categories. Here, Etsy’s six fall home decor trends of 2018:  1Upcycled and recycled Etsy // NordicUniques It's no surprise that consumers are more interested than ever before in sustainable and eco-conscious products, and that includes home decor.

Searches for "bird decor" are up 20 percent on Etsy, while searches for "gold birds" and "bird nests" are up 50 and 70 percent, respectively.

Traditional "stripe prints" are up in searches on Etsy by 62 percent in the last three months. Though the brushstroke trend is mostly seen in ceramics right now, Etsy predicts we'll see the look move into textiles soon, too.  (Photo: Grid cactus pot planter in blue and porcelain from BuchlyvirePottery) By Brittany Nims, HuffPost US  HuffPost may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page.
