Hey everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! This week is all about trends in the design world. We all know about trends whether in the fashion or design world. Trends directly affect us whether we like it or not. For example, remember when pink floral wallpaper and brass fixtures were in?? I know I sure do! That's what I grew up with in the 90's. Or what about avocado colored kitchen appliances and Formica counter tops? All of these examples were trend of that time period.
So lets talk current when it comes to color. Through some research I have found a few color trends stand out from the pack. Neutrals are the way to go this year with hints of green, blue or a Coral red. At Lounge Interiors, Haley and Laci love these color combos as do I! If picking paint colors for a client we often use Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter, Camouflage, Ocean Air, Tealight, and Linen White. These are soft and subtle making your pieces be in the spotlight instead of the walls.
Next comes texture. Texture can add visual interest to a space and can also make the room look cozy or sleek depending on the texture. atmdesignarchitects.com states " Whether on the walls, carpet or furniture, texture is everywhere. It’s creating an intriguing texture which encourages people to use their sense of touch and adds a feeling of warmth and comfort to the space. By appealing to people’s senses, texture can spark interest and conversation."
Last on the list of new design trends of 2013 is pattern. We have seen many pattern trends throughout the years. This years top 7 patterns according to HGTV.com are listed below with examples of each. Until next time...
