3. Polka Dots

The nice thing about this confetti-inspired wall adornment is that it can be dressed up or dressed down depending on what you like. Try this glimmering gold version to add some drama, or something matte black for a more muted look.

4. Floating Shelves

No brackets, no hassle. Floating shelves create seamless storage for books, photos and knick-knacks. Bonus? They don't require quite as much precision as shelves with a visible foundation.

1. Marsala





Pantone's 2015 Color of the Year is a soft, yet incredibly rich color. Keep an eye out for marsala home decor as it pops up in stores and throughout your friends' homes in the new year.

2. Neutrals with attitude





Say goodbye to the boring taupe of home makeovers past. Neutrals in 2015 will be a whole lot spicier. Look forward to deep mochas, pretty peaches, and dreamy blues in the year to come.

3. Brass Accents





For those of you who traded in your '90s brass fixtures for brushed nickel or oil-rubbed bronze...we've got some bad news. Brass is making a comeback in 2015, in the form of subtle accents that make for dynamite home decor.
