The Top Wallpaper Trends to Watch Out for in 2018

Jan 28, 2018

In 2017, wallpaper was our go-to for a quick upgrade. So it's no surprise that 2018's wallpaper trends have us equally as excited about covering our walls. With the help of Hovia Wallpaper, we've rounded up the top styles to expect in the next few months. If you have a thing for bold patterns and rich colors, we promise, you're gonna love 'em.

Terrazzo: Throw it back to the '70s with this stone-forward material that's equal parts funky and fun. Since the true Italian trend can be made up of many different kinds of rocks, the options to cater it to you walls are pretty much endless. Plan to use it in your entryway or washroom to make it really stand out.

Maps: Got a case of wanderlust? This print will cure it. While it's a bit more of novelty, we love the idea of putting it in a playroom or home office.

Marble: Make way for marble. This is your quickest ticket to adding luxury to your space. Stage it in rooms like the kitchen or dining room to give the area an entirely chic flair — before any accents are involved.

Botanticals: If your jungalow fever is real, but you're really lacking a green thumb, consider this option. The style boasts lots of leafy silhouettes that don't require any love, other than a spot to put them on display. We've got our eye on the guest room.

Wall Art: If there was ever a way to jazz up a wall, this is it. This trend offers options in lots of shapes and sizes, including flowers, waves, and graphic treatments. Try 'em in any room requiring a little TLC.

Brutalist Architecture: Love it or hate it, this isn't your typical modern style. It's primarily known for its blocky, concrete vibe that delivers a sense of edginess to any room (yes, even the pantry).

Ultra Violet: Embrace Pantone's 2018 Color of the Year with wallpaper. Opt to go eclectic with a space-style print or keep it simple with a muted lavender look. Either way, ultra violet will be the ultimate way to impress trendy guests in the months to come.

Which of these styles do you love? Let us know @BritandCo, then follow us on Pinterest for more decor inspo.

15 Inspiring Front Door Paint Colors That Are Bound To Be Everywhere In 2025

A fresh coat of paint on your front door is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to boost your curb appeal and try something different with the exterior of your home. After all, it's something you see every day and costs just the price of a gallon of paint to refresh. According to Zillow, front door paint colors can impact the number of offers and how long your home sits on the market. Darker colors tend to inspire higher resale value, but while you live and enjoy your home go with a color that you love.

Here are 15 inspiring paint colors for your front door.

Clare Paint

Earthy green paint colors, like Clare Paint Daily Greens, are becoming the new neutral for front doors. They give a natural, welcoming vibe and pair beautifully with brick, wood, or stone. Choose natural shades like olive, sage, and moss for timeless curb appeal.

Leah Newhouse

Blue door colors like Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines in Deep Denim Blue or Benjamin Moore in Prussian Blue will always be classic in this inviting Mediterranean blue hue. Refreshing your shutters if you have them is also a good idea!

Lina Kivaka

Deep reddish browns are also giving front doors a burst of color. Try Benjamin Moore's Cottage Red or Backdrop's Self Portrait for this regal look.

Benjamin Moore

Benjamin Moore's Aegean Teal on the front door is a lovely compliment to the soft blue-green Gray Cashmere 2138-60 on the interior walls.

Lean into more of a pretty sage color with Farrow & Ball's Vert de Terre. Stunning and soothing!

Behr

Go for a dramatic and refined look with Behr's Black Evergreen (MQ6-44). Think shaded groves with its deep dark green color.

Add a pop of happy color with Farrow & Ball's Red Earth.

Behr's Dark Truffle is a decadent chocolate hue for anyone looking for a rich, velvety look.

Behr's Swiss Coffee (12) is a warm white that instantly gives your home a cozy Scandi vibe.

Make a statement with a sunny yellow, such as Farrow & Ball Babouche.

Pink is always a fun way to express yourself. It looks especially good in desert places like Palm Springs. Benjamin Moore's soothing Georgia Pink 2092-60 is the perfect pick of pink!

Millie Bobby Brown Just Revealed Her Most "Emotional" Moment From 'Stranger Things 5'

We're finally getting Stranger Things 5 this year, which will serve as the final installment of the hit Netflix show, and I'm feeling pretty emotional about it. Although, not as emotional as Millie Bobby Brown, who started filming the series at 11 years old and wrapped her final scene at 20. And, as the actress shared with Vanity Fair, she cried on set — which she never does.

Here's what Millie Bobby Brown said about filming the final season of Stranger Things — and how husband Jake Bongiovi helped her through it.

Millie Bobby Brown couldn't help but get emotional when she wrapped 'Stranger Things 5'

Millie Bobby Brown's Eleven is, without a doubt, one of Stranger Things' anchors. And it sounds like Millie is one of the cast's too.

As the show came to close, "it wasn’t hitting me this entire time—until yesterday,” Millie shares (Stranger Things wrapped in December of 2024). “I was on set, and I was like, ‘Well, I have one more day left.’ And I started crying. I don’t actually like to cry at work. I’m a really emotional person, but I try to stay super strong. It made me feel so uncomfortable."

But even though she didn't necessarily want to cry on set, husband Jake Bongiovi helped her. "Jake was like, ‘It’s good, you have to get it out!’ and I just started welling up.”

But she had just as many silly moments too!

But while there were some tears, there was plenty of joy to be had while filming! After Wicked came out in November 2024, self-proclaimed "big musical girl" couldn't help but try out the musical's biggest moment for herself (she was in a harness after all).

“She asked us to play 'Defying Gravity’ while she was hovering midair in a harness so she could pretend to fly like Elphaba,” co-creator Matt Duffer says. “Not just because she loves the song, but because she knows it drives us a little crazy.”

But, to no one's surprise, Millie's a certified pro, and "as soon as the camera rolls—barely a second before—that silliness vanishes and she just…transforms into Eleven.”

Millie Bobby Brown Pulled Off The Most Epic Wedding Surprise With Hubby Jake Bongiovi

Remember when Stranger Things fans lost their marbles when Millie Bobby Brown announced she was engaged to Jake Bongiovi? It's us, we're fans because we grew to love the actress who stole our hearts as Eleven in a semi-dystopian series, and couldn't wait to hear all about her budding relationship. We took time to process the news and quickly warmed up to her nuptials because we realized Millie isn't a teenager with telekinetic powers. She's a real person who deserves to live life on her terms, including having a beautiful relationship (and wedding!).

For the first time ever, Millie's opened up about her special day and we're living for the special nugget she gushed about in her Vanity Fair cover feature.

Here's are all the sweet details Millie Bobby Brown shared about her wedding day!

According to The Sun, Millie and Jake said "I do" in a private ceremony last May before having a more publicized wedding in Italy (via Marie Claire). While their closest family and friends were in attendance, our jaws hit the floor when we learned Matthew Modine — "Papa" from Stranger Things officiated their gorgeous wedding.

The couple weren't shy about sharing a BTS look at their love-filled day, but we're living for the one thing she and Jake did.

Theo Wargo/Getty Images

In her Vanity Fair interview, Millie revealed she and Jake tapped into their inner musicians by singing and dancing to Grease songs! "It's a five-six-minute dance routine that we choreographed ourselves," she said. The songs in question were "Summer Nights," "You're the One That I Want," and "We Go Together," which is fitting for the love they have. But here's where it gets interesting: the couple changed 7 times! "I was in my Sandy jumpsuit, and he was in this cool T-shirt, pants, and really shiny shoes."

Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images

Matthew Modine even shared his thoughts about Millie and Jake's entertaining wedding day. He said, "It was absolutely sublime" before admitting he was "emotional...during the vows." His reasoning has everything to do with watching Millie blossom into the "beautiful and thoughtful adult" she is today.

"I was with her when she first met young Jake. And now she's beginning a whole new life with such a kind man."

Joe Maher/Getty Images

For Millie and Jake, being "united" has been pivotal for their union. "We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we're looking for, the kind of careers we want," the actress said. That's why she she and Jake didn't take their decision about marriage lightly. "...we wanted to make sure we were making the right one." She even shared Jake's "the first man" she's "been in love with."

Excuse us while we swoon over their wedding details — and sweet love for each other!
