6 Etsy home decor trends you need to know about

From tie-dye to art deco to wallpaper stickers, Etsy has uncovered the hottest 2019 home decor trends in a new report based on search data and retail insights such as what sellers are creating, what shoppers are loving, and what’s hot right now in the wider market.

According to Etsy, 'Maximalism is taking hold in the form of standout fixtures, bold patterns, and vibrant colours'. Whether you're looking to shake up your space or completely revamp your home, find some inspiration from Etsy's 2019 home decor trends.

This iconic pattern is showing up on everything from bedding to mirrors, but unlike the tie-dye of decades past, this new approach feels more sophisticated with the use of lighter hues and pastels for a more muted take on the print.

Etsy explains: 'You may have noticed it trickling into fashion, but we’re calling it right now: with 267k searches on Etsy over the past three months, “tie-dye” is the latest 70s trend making a comeback in home decor.'

With over 1.7M searches for '70s' on Etsy over the past year, it looks like this trend is here to stay.

According to Etsy, these eye-catching pieces will 'turn your home into a wellness haven, and serve as a subtle reminder to slow down, take a deep breath, and focus on mindfulness'.
